Job description
Quoted in full from Perplexity's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.
We're looking for a dynamic, highly organized Recruiting Coordinator to help us scale our team without ever compromising on experience. This is a high-velocity role at the heart of our hiring engine. You'll keep dozens of moving parts in sync, bring order to ambiguity, and make every candidate and hiring partner feel like they're our only priority. If you thrive when the path isn't fully mapped out, move fast without dropping details, and genuinely care about how people are treated, you'll do great here.
What You'll Do
Own the end-to-end candidate experience, making every interaction from first touch to final decision, feel seamless, human, and high-touch
Coordinate and schedule interviews across complex calendars, time zones, and competing priorities, keeping things moving at speed
Serve as a trusted partner to recruiters, interviewers, and hiring managers, anticipating needs, communicating proactively, and making their jobs easier
Operate independently in ambiguity: spot gaps, make judgment calls, and create structure where none exists yet
Identify, initiate, and drive projects that improve and scale our recruiting processes as the team grows
Manage logistics, administrative tasks, and ad-hoc recruiting support with accuracy and urgency
Continuously look for ways to raise the bar on both the external candidate experience and the internal stakeholder experience
What You Bring
2–4 years of experience as a Recruiting Coordinator, ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment
Comfort operating in ambiguity. You take initiative, make decisions with incomplete information, and don't wait to be told what to do
A natural high-velocity operator who moves quickly without sacrificing accuracy or attention to detail
Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously without losing the thread
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with proactive, clear, and warm follow-through
Ability to work independently and collaboratively, adapting fast in a rapidly changing startup environment
Proficiency with various ATSs (Ashby preferred)
