The Opportunity
The VP of Recruiting needs a right hand. Someone who can run the operational core of a recruiting function while also driving the strategic projects that help to drive Flock's continued growth. This role is part chief of staff, part systems thinker, part executor — you'll keep the machine running while also building the next version of it. You'll also help define how AI reshapes the way we recruit. Not as a novelty, but as a genuine lever for speed, quality, and scale. If you thrive at the intersection of strategy and getting things done, this is your role.

Data & Reporting: Define what we measure, build the dashboards that tell the story, and bring data to every decision — balancing speed, quality, and candidate experience
Compliance & Risk: Own recruiting compliance end-to-end — EEO/OFCCP reporting, job posting requirements, data privacy, and audit readiness; build frameworks that keep us clean and scalable as we grow
Coordination Team: Lead and develop the coordination function, setting the bar for candidate experience and operational excellence
Onboarding Ops: Own the operational handoff from offer acceptance to Day 1, partnering with People Ops to make the new hire experience seamless
