ABOUT THE ROLE The Recruiting Operations Specialist role is where it starts. You will own the operational core of how Deeptune hires — scheduling, Ashby, candidate experience, and onsites — and you will be expected to automate the parts that shouldn’t require a person. Your remit is to define the core workflow, then build the systems that run it. You’ll report to the Head of Talent and partner directly with hiring managers across engineering and operations. This is a New York role, in-office five days a week, in the Financial District. We’re a small team hiring fast, which means the scope is broad and your growth potential is what you make of it. The person who does this well will help define the function. WHAT YOU'LL DO Interview execution - Run candidate interview experience end to end — screens, take-homes, virtual loops, and full-day onsites — across multiple teams - Manage complex scheduling across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers, and absorb reschedules and conflicts before they reach the candidate - Treat interviewer capacity as a metric you own rather than a constraint you work around: track load, flag saturation before it slows a pipeline, and help scale the interviewer pool as volume grows ASHBY AND PIPELINE INTEGRITY - Own candidate data in Ashby — stages, tags, scorecards, written rationale — so the pipeline is trustworthy enough to make decisions from - Build the checks rather than the cleanup: automated exception reports that surface missing feedback, stalled candidates, and inconsistent stage data before anyone notices manually - Turn pipeline data into reporting hiring managers actually use — time-to-schedule, funnel conversion, interviewer load, offer outcomes CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE - Be the person candidates remember, at every stage — clear, fast, and human - Automate the prep, not the warmth: interviewer packets, candidate prep, and follow-ups that fire on the right trigger without anyone remembering to send them - Own post-offer coordination and the handoff into onboarding ON-SITES AND EVENTS - Run Superdays, candidate dinners, and networking events end to end — logistics, travel, comms, day-of execution - We’ll partner to make the onsite a reason someone signs BUILDING LEVERAGE This is the part of the job we expect to grow. Over your first year, we want you to: - Find the most repetitive work on the team and remove it — with automations, LLM workflows, Ashby’s API, or whatever gets there fastest - Codify what our best recruiters do by hand into prompts, templates, and workflows the whol…
