Executive Recruiter

Job Description

Postmates is on a mission to help people unlock the best of their cities -- and their lives, with an insanely reliable on-demand “everything” network. We’re the first and still leading company in the on-demand space -- with a fleet of +300,000 Postmates, the largest network of merchants in the U.S. and a brand that has become a pop culture verb. We’re looking for people who aren’t afraid to be first -- or eccentric, and who are passionate about creating the new, new.

As the first dedicated Executive Recruiter at Postmates, you will play a critical role in growing our leadership team (director-level and above). You will be responsible for ensuring that we hire high-quality candidates for critical leadership roles at Postmates. You will run the recruitment process from start to finish, including working with current leadership to define required skill sets, researching and mapping the market, sourcing and screening candidates, and closing offers. You will also manage the Postmates brand from a recruiting standpoint, by telling the story of the Postmates' mission and culture. This role requires that you be highly proactive in sourcing and recruiting the best -- posting a job description and seeing what happens won’t come close to cutting it.
