About the Role

We are looking for a highly driven, resourceful, and execution-focused Recruiter to support one of Workstream's highest-priority initiatives: scaling our Video Contributor contractor programs.

This is an initial 3-month contract engagement, with the potential for extension based on business needs and performance.

In this engagement, you will lead high-volume contractor recruiting with an immediate focus on rapidly expanding our in-office Video Contributor program in Menlo Park, while also supporting broader domestic and international contractor hiring initiatives as project priorities evolve.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys building recruiting processes from the ground up, and knows how to generate candidate volume through creative sourcing, platform optimization, and operational excellence. You'll collaborate closely with recruiting, operations, project managers, and cross-functional partners to help scale hiring capacity and support ambitious production goals.

The ideal recruiter is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to source candidates, manage pipelines, optimize recruiting funnels, and improve hiring processes while thinking strategically about building repeatable, scalable recruiting systems.

Given the collaborative nature of this engagement, the contractor is expected to spend upto 5 days working from our Menlo Park office alongside the team and co-founders.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This isn't a traditional recruiting assignment focused on steady-state hiring. You'll help launch and scale a high-impact operational initiative where speed, creativity, and execution matter.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build scalable sourcing strategies from the ground up.
• Improve recruiting workflows and candidate experience.
• Help rapidly scale hiring capacity for a business-critical initiative.
• Partner directly with leaders across Recruiting, Operations, and Product.
• Contribute to recruiting experiments and operational improvements that may shape future hiring programs.

If you enjoy solving recruiting challenges, building efficient systems, and seeing the direct impact of your work, this engagement offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.
