The role
We're looking for an outstanding recruiter to help us champion diversity and build an industry-leading team of automation and SaaS experts -- be they engineering, commercial, or operations focused.
You'll need to research, hustle, network, source, and pitch in a variety of ways to identify, connect with, and entice the most sought-after talent in mobile robotics -- one of the most competitive and exciting areas of technology. Along the way, you'll develop the relationships, processes, tools and metrics that make the Outrider recruiting and hiring process delightful to candidates and both predictable and efficient for the company.
As a Recruiter at Outrider, you'll work closely with team and department leads to establish, refine, and execute our staffing and recruitment strategy. This means close collaboration to determine the right requirements, backgrounds, and assessment approaches to identify exceptional talent. You'll then own the plan for getting great people on board. Along the way, you'll need to be ready to quickly reorganize priorities to meet changing expectations inside and outside the company.
This role will focus broadly on the engineering, operations, and commercial roles that are critical to the development and performance of the Outrider System -- a logistics automation product that transforms distribution yard environments into safe, efficient, autonomous logistics operations.
