Über diese Sales Recruiter Stelle bei Ashby
Hi, I'm Steph, and I joined the team in October 2024. My Ashby “a-ha” moment came when I was an Ashby customer and a member of the C-suite reached out with a few urgent questions about one of our high-priority roles. In response, I built a comprehensive dashboard in Ashby. Why was this so exciting? For the first time in my career, I could independently dig into every part of the process and get answers (or preempt what questions the business might have) all by myself, right in my ATS. No data team needed, no manual spreadsheet checks, just full access to everything I needed to know. That moment reaffirmed that Ashby was changing the way I work, and I’ve never looked back!
We will be running this in a cohort model (you can learn more about that here). The application window will close on Monday, September 14th at 9am Pacific.
We have notable customers like Deliveroo, Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best-in-class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, over 5,000 customers, 30% of our revenue is international, very low churn, and many years of runway. We’ll share more details once we meet, but you now probably have a good idea as to why we're hiring for this role 😅.
A Note from Jim, our VP People & Talent:
The job I do at Ashby is my dream job and I hope being a Recruiter here is yours! Not only will you get to help build the people side of our business but you’ll also get to become an expert user of our product and a thought leader on how to use it. You’ll get to make a lasting contribution to the whole recruiting community as we drive improvements across the talent tech space. Check out our Recruiting blog and Hiring Excellence Framework as an example of our content creation for the talent community.
Joining us means being part of a talented team, tackling the challenges of our stage, and contributing to our team and product growth. We value humility, continuous improvement and a dedication to excellence (more here). If you are passionate about bringing your unique strengths to the team and building a culture of success, we would love to hear from you.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Sales Recruiter with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing talent in the tech industry across the different markets in the EU and UK. In this role, you will own the end-to-end execution of recruitment strategies to find exceptional talent to fill critical roles. If you have experience recruiting Sales talent, have done so somewhere with a high talent bar, and are genuinely excited about staying at the forefront of the recruiting industry, we'd love for you to apply.
Success in this role over the next six months will involve attracting, evaluating and hiring high quality candidates to meet our company's hiring needs for various Sales positions. It will also require building and collating phenomenal talent pools to create a strong infrastructure for future growth.
You will achieve this by:
Attracting, evaluating and hiring top talent. We focus on quality over quantity, and partner closely with our stakeholders to assess the market, diagnose root cause issues and make recommendations.
Developing processes that focus on the very highest quality of hire as we scale
Engaging with departmental leaders and hiring managers to expertly qualify requirements
Using data from Ashby to drive recommendations and adjust hiring practices as needed
Focusing on quality and alignment at the optimal volume to meet goals
As you are probably ascertaining from the above, we are looking for a person that gains energy from both strategizing on creative ways to accelerate our hiring as well as getting their hands dirty finding and evaluating candidates.
To be qualified for this role, you must have the following:
Proven track record as an expert Go To Market Recruiter from within a B2B SaaS company for a significant portion of your career.
You’ve operated with autonomy and are used to leading searches end-to-end. We value competency over tenure, but you have a foundation of proven experience that allows you to establish instant credibility with leadership
Data-driven mindset with the ability to optimize your workflows, balancing diversity, quality and volume.
Demonstrated experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies that differentiate the talent pipelines from the inbound attraction and referrals that we have traditionally used.
If you need someone else to do any of the following, then this role is probably not for you:
Boolean search and talent mapping activities
Requisition qualification with senior leaders
High volumes of outreach and screening calls
Prioritization of your workload
Root cause analysis of your pipelines and roles
Instructions:
Please take your time with your application. We will review EVERY application and speak to the shortlist we make based on the applications. There are no prizes for being first and no advantages to be gained by reaching out, being referred or knowing someone here, so please don't message anyone on the recruiting team.
We have hired a few recruiters at Ashby and have reviewed hundreds of recruiter applications, so I hope that sharing the following might be useful as you consider applying. The applications that stand out often include the following:
Demonstrate the impact of their work in a recruiter capacity. Resumes focused on projects or leadership may not stand out and highlight exactly how your experience relates to this role. Metrics can show the reader how well you did the job, and that stands out.
Tie their work to the Business functions. We will only hire someone with proven full cycle hiring experience, focused on Sales, G&A or CS roles. 'Recruited a variety of roles' is not the same as showing the reader that you've worked Sales roles, as an example.
Highlight this recruiting success in a growth, B2B SaaS company
Answer the application questions, in a way that shows your skills and experience (not with a copy/paste from AI). Each question has context provided or real meaning for us, beyond what we would see in your resume. Applications that choose not to answer these questions will not move forward.
Benefits
Competitive salary and equity.
10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅.
Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
$100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.
Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.
Interview Process
At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together via talking through past projects and conducting a short but realistic assignment. Our interview process is 4 parts:
30-minute introduction call to discuss Ashby and your past work with a recruiter, so expect a traditional recruiting screen with a slightly different format.
A take-home assignment that will ask you to interpret pipeline data and make recommendations to a hiring manager
45 min with our VP of People & Talent Jim
~2hr hour final round
30 mins with one or two GTM leaders
30 mins with either Anna or Josh (Recruiting Managers)
15 min closing with me, Steph
