Role

We’re looking to hire a Business Recruiter for our Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety and Fraud). You’ll have the opportunity to:

Lead high-volume hiring for Operations. You’ll own searches across CX, Trust & Safety, and Fraud, often managing 10–15+ open roles at once.
Be a true partner to the business. You’ll work with hiring managers and leaders to scope roles, shape hiring strategy, and guide decisions.
Source creatively. You’ll find top talent through channels beyond LinkedIn and try new ways to reach candidates.
Own the end-to-end process. You’ll run kickoff through offer and close, with clear rubrics, strong JDs, and a thoughtful, inclusive candidate experience.
Build for scale. You’ll improve recruiting processes as we grow, using candidate and stakeholder feedback, and share what works with the team.

We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Seattle hub.

You

Curious about who thrives at Whatnot? We’ve found that low ego, a growth mindset, and leaning into action and high impact goes a long way here.

As our next Recruiter, you should have at least 2+ years of full-cycle high volume recruiting experience, ideally for Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety, and/or Fraud), in fast-paced environments, plus:

You have proven experience as a full-cycle recruiter and know how to manage the entire process of a candidate end to end.
You love hiring at high volumes. You deliver hires consistently and push through when the market seems to have run dry.
You're a sourcer at heart. You enjoy sourcing for your positions and take pride in nurturing and building relationships with passive talent.
You are data-focused. You measure pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations.
You're comfortable with ownership. Whatnot is one of the fastest-growing startups in history, and hiring is key to our success. You should feel comfortable moving uncomfortably fast, managing multiple roles, and being accountable for your work.
You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search can be nerve-racking and you prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Whatnot during a hiring process.
You are a champion for diversity hiring & inclusive interview practices. At Whatnot, we believe hiring and fostering a diverse team is the key to building a successful business.
