Overview

What this role is

You inherit a working hiring system and a verified-employer trust layer. Your job is to lift it from working to industry-leading: tighter pipeline-stage hygiene, sharper recruiter tooling, and a moderation policy that protects candidates without slowing employers down. You'll partner with division heads on senior hiring and report into the platform owner.
