Senior Business Recruiter

Hey there.

At Clay, we believe in empowering the growth of every business. We’re on a mission to help teams grow their customer base by finding and reaching out to the right people.

Navigating the world of go-to-market data is a complex task involving data aggregation, transformation, and automation. We believe better software enables teams to become more effective in creatively seeking and reaching out to the people that matter. We are building a new type of data workflow tool that allows any team to find the right data, craft custom workflows, and automate their go-to-market strategy. We like to think of Clay as a composable canvas that unlocks power and creativity for growth-focused teams.

Building a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that enables complex data aggregation, transformation, and automation is no easy feat. It takes a huge amount of creativity, discipline and attention to detail. It also takes a team of brilliant minds, collaborating, supporting and learning from each other.

👋🏿👋🏾👋🏽👋🏼👋🏻At Clay, we hold two things to be true as we grow our team — hiring is more about the person and less about the description; diverse teams build the strongest, most meaningful products. We are committed to building a team that reflects these beliefs, and cannot wait to speak with you.

Business Recruiter

We are looking for a Business Recruiter to handle full-cycle nontechnical talent acquisition. As the second recruiter in a small (<50 person) startup, you’ll be hands on with sourcing, interview design, and closing. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers on both the “who” and the “why” of building out their teams.

Recruiting is one of the most important functions at Clay. We hope you’ll play a key role in how Clay goes from early-stage product to a unicorn team with the proverbial line out the door!

What You’ll Do

• Leading full-cycle recruiting for nontechnical roles at all levels. Think everything from “Community Lead” to “Product Support Specialist” to “Head of Finance”!
• Working with other teammates to ensure a delightful candidate experience, from the first conversation through their first day.
• Sourcing - lots of it! Clay has a strong pitch when it comes to revenue and growth, but we’re still in the early stages of getting the word out.
• Collaborating with leadership on strategic aspects of recruiting. Success in this role isn’t just about filling requisitions, but also about quality of hire and designing effective interview processes.
  
  

What You'll Bring

• You have a stellar track record across 4+ years of business recruiting experience.
• Strongly preferred: at least 1 year of in-house and/or early-stage startup recruiting experience
• You are in NYC and excited about an in-person office environment (think 4-5 days per week). You’ll be joining a team with a vibrant and creative culture, but you’ll also be a part of shaping that as Clay grows.
• You’re an effective communicator in both written and spoken contexts.
• You’re an excellent interviewer, with an eye for talent that will thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup—not just the most pedigreed applicant!
• You prioritize candidate experience, and have helped shaped that in your previous roles.
  

Working @ Clay

Based out of a central office on 5th Ave in Manhattan near Union Square. We're big on taking care of our team and always excited to hear different ideas that can help us to do this better.

• Competitive salary and role trajectory. Roles, responsibilities, and comp grow as we do.
• Health insurance. Fully funded, high quality health, dental & vision coverage.
• Visa sponsorship. We get it - it's an arduous process, but we're not scared of it.
• Flexible schedules and paid time off. We ask team members to take at least 2 weeks fully-disconnected per year, with a flexible vacation policy beyond that.
• Mental health. We're currently building a plan to help you find coaches, mentors & mental-health services.
• Personal comfort. Order whatever equipment you think will help you work more enjoyably.
• Remote work. Though we prefer people being in-person.
