You will initially own the backbone of our hiring process—interview coordination and documentation—while scaling into sourcing and initial screenings.
Most importantly, we are looking for a "force multiplier." You should be someone who doesn't just follow a process but looks for ways to automate and optimize it using AI and modern recruiting tools to ensure we stay fast and human-centric.

- Future Growth (Sourcing & Screening): Transition into identifying top-tier talent through creative sourcing strategies and conducting initial phone screens to assess culture and skill fit.
Requirements

- Communication Mastery: You can pivot your tone from professional and polished to warm and welcoming, whether in Slack, email, or over the phone.
- AI Literacy: You aren't just aware of AI; you use it. You should be comfortable using tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, or specialized recruiting AI to draft content and manage tasks.
- Data Driven: Experience pulling reports from an ATS to show funnel metrics (e.g., time-to-hire or pass-through rates).
- Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a "we-over-me" environment and enjoy partnering with busy hiring managers to solve scheduling puzzles.
- Adaptability: You are comfortable with the ambiguity of a growing company and are excited to take on more recruiting responsibilities as you grow.
- Hybrid Collaboration: You thrive in a dynamic environment; you are energized by in-office collaboration 3 - 4 days a week at our Santa Barbara HQ while maintaining high productivity and seamless communication during remote days.
Bonus
- Technical Sourcing: Experience finding niche engineering or product talent using LinkedIn Recruiter, Github, or specialized sourcing platforms.
- Artera Tooling: Experience utilizing the tooling we use at Artera or similar products, ie. Google Suite (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.), Lever (ATS), Pillar (AI Interview Companion), Slack, Zoom, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gemini.

As our hubs grow, we may establish local offices to further enhance in-person connection and collaboration.

Any future attendance expectations would be developed thoughtfully, considering factors like typical commute times and access to public transit, to ensure they are fair and practical for the local team.
