What the job involves

We’re looking for a Contract Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team and own full-cycle recruiting for our business functions. You’ll partner directly with hiring managers across areas like Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, Operations, Finance, Legal & Compliance, and HR to build pipelines, run tight processes, and close great candidates
You’ll work in a fast-paced, regulated fintech environment where a polished candidate experience and sound process matter as much as speed
This role is based in our NYC office. Contract duration and other details will be discussed during the interview process
Own the full recruiting lifecycle for a portfolio of non-engineering roles, from intake through offer and close
Partner with hiring managers at kickoff to align on role scope, scorecards, interview plans, and timelines, and give honest market feedback when expectations and reality diverge
Source candidates proactively through LinkedIn Recruiter, outbound outreach, referrals, and communities, while building warm talent pipelines for recurring roles
Screen and qualify candidates, run structured phone screens, and make clear, well-documented recommendations to the hiring team
Coordinate and manage the interview process so candidates and interviewers are prepared, informed, and moving quickly
Support offer strategy and negotiation, including comp benchmarking and closing conversations
Keep Greenhouse accurate and current (stages, scorecards, dispositions, notes) so our pipeline data is reliable
Contribute to improving our recruiting process by flagging bottlenecks, sharing what’s working, and testing new sourcing approaches
Deliver a consistently strong candidate experience, including timely communication and thoughtful rejections

The application process

We’ll take a few weeks to review all applications. If we’d like to spend more time with you, we’ll reach out to arrange next steps, which will include 3-4 sets of meetings with your future colleagues
In the interview process, we’ll look to learn more about your skills, experiences, capabilities, and motivators. Many of our questions will be aimed at understanding how you might operate here at Betterment. Depending on the role, we may ask you to complete a case study exercise or technical assessments, as we want to collect a robust set of data points to better inform our decisions
On average, it takes us around 3-5 weeks to make a hiring decision, depending on your availability and sense of urgency. As a best practice, we aim to interview at least 2-3 final round candidates before making a hiring decision. Please note that, as we usually receive an overwhelming number of applications for open positions, we’re unable to offer individual feedback during the interview process
We recognize that interviewing for a new role is a big deal. We appreciate you considering Betterment as the next step in your career, and our Recruiting Team is here to support and advocate for you through the interview process!
