Senior Business Recruiter

Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 6.9 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!

Recruiting at Afresh is a greenfield organization where we’re building and implementing what “good” hiring practices look like from the ground up. You'll get to be a leader for a growing team; if you’re passionate about being deeply involved in the work that our teams are doing, helping to construct new processes and fine tune them on the fly, and want a personal stake in the growth of a heavily mission-driven company, we want to hear from you!

What you will do:

• Manage the full cycle of recruiting, from sourcing through offer/close
• Collaborate with hiring partners to understand, define, and build talent profiles.
• Use data to provide insights into the health of the hiring pipeline, and devise strategies to implement vital adjustments
• Proactively identify areas of opportunity to make things better for recruiting and Afresh; this could be running a training, helping mine for referrals, planning and attending an event, etc.

What skills or experience do you need?
