First Recruiter Verified listing

Look around. (No really — do it!) What can you see that didn’t make its way to you in a truck?

Our modern world runs on trucking. But unfortunately, the industry is rife with raw deals, poor conditions, and low pay.

TrueNorth is on a mission to overhaul the trucking industry by focusing on the people who actually do the work — the drivers. Our team, made up of alums Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Tesla, Facebook, YC, and more, is building software that will become the operating system of trucking. We’ll succeed by automating busywork, cutting out middlemen, and ensuring that the people who do the lion’s share of the work take home the lion’s share of the profits.

Overview We’re looking for our first recruiter to help us build our team during our next stage of growth. You will help craft role definitions, identify candidates that fit the profile, and manage the entire recruiting process from sourcing through interviews to making offers. The team and the culture we build is critical, and your work will directly impact our future success at TrueNorth.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves building deep relationships with candidates
• Thinks critically about the candidate experience, and cares about constantly improving it
• Can manage multiple searches at once
• Enjoys working in a fast-paced startup environment
• Has experience driving the recruiting process from end to end

In your first week, you’ll:

• Onboard with our team
• Do a deep dive to learn about the trucking industry
• Meet our team’s managers and get to know their recruiting needs
• Work with the VP of People to prioritize the roles in the pipeline

In your first six weeks, you’ll:

• Begin sourcing candidates and hiring for some of our most critical roles, like product and engineering
• Begin to build a regular cadence of check-ins and updates with hiring managers
• Take a critical look at our recruiting process and start making notes about how to improve it
• Review our jobs page — often the first window candidates have into our company — and level it up

In your first six months, you’ll:

• Close several critical hires
• Help craft what upcoming roles should look like
• Optimize and scale our recruiting process
• Identify how we can infuse our cultural values into the recruiting process

Requirements 3+ years of experience as a recruiter, ideally in a fast-growing startup

While we prefer candidates who can work out of our San Francisco office or Los Angeles, we are always open to exceptional candidates who are based elsewhere. If you think you're a great fit and are excited about this role, please apply.
