Recruiter, Operations

About the role

As Pi's Operations Recruiter, you'll own the recruiting funnel from candidate generation through screening: creating enough qualified candidate flow, conducting initial screens, deciding who advances, and handing strong candidates to the operations team for work trials. Over time you'll also support hiring for adjacent site-based roles such as copilots, shift leads, technicians, and props staff. This isn't a traditional corporate recruiting role. We're looking for someone who has recruited hourly workers at meaningful volume, can personally screen a large number of candidates efficiently, and knows how to build a repeatable local recruiting engine in San Francisco.

Responsibilities

• Build the Candidate Funnel: Generate a consistent pipeline of qualified candidates for Robot Operator and related operations roles — enough applicants to meet hiring plans and predictable weekly screen volume. Develop and manage channels including job boards, referrals, local partnerships, recruiting events, community organizations, and schools, and experiment with new acquisition channels as hiring demand shifts.
• Own Candidate Screening: Conduct initial screens for Robot Operator and other high-volume operations candidates, evaluating for reliability, communication, attention to detail, availability, motivation, and fit for the work. Hold a clear, consistent bar for who advances to a work trial, aiming for strong screen-to-trial conversion, high trial attendance, and high pass rates among the candidates you advance.
• Own Recruiting Throughput: Keep enough candidates at each stage of the funnel to hit weekly hiring targets, and maintain accurate visibility into expected candidate volume, upcoming trials, conversions, and starts.
• Deliver a Great Candidate Experience: Communicate clearly and promptly with candidates about the job, hiring process, schedule, compensation, and expectations, so that offer-to-start conversion stays strong and the hiring experience reflects well on Pi even
