The Opportunity
As an entry-level Recruiter at Venn, you'll help build our talent acquisition function during a critical growth phase. You'll work on the full recruiting cycle from sourcing and screening candidates to coordinating interviews and supporting offer processes. This role reports into our Head of People and you'll partner with hiring managers across Sales, Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success.
This is a great first role in recruiting. You'll learn by doing: supporting hiring managers, building sourcing strategies with guidance, connecting with candidates, and getting hands-on experience across the entire hiring process. You won't be starting from zero, you'll have a supportive team and clear expectations as you ramp up. If you're excited about learning the recruiting craft, genuinely interested in helping people find great opportunities, and ready to grow in a fast-paced startup environment, this is the place to build your skills.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with People Operations on onboarding, background checks, and new hire logistics
- Gather feedback from hiring managers and candidates post-hire to improve your recruiting approach
- Contribute to employer branding efforts—representing Venn at career events, campus recruiting, or networking events
- Build and maintain a strong candidate network and referral relationships for future pipeline
