Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Marketing Recruiter role stands out in SaaS because it sits directly on the go to market talent engine of a product-led company that is scaling its market presence. In SaaS, recruiting for marketing is tightly coupled to positioning, category education, and pipeline strategy, so the work tends to track closely with how the company evolves its narrative and demand motion.
For a long-term SaaS career, the role offers leverage across multiple layers of the operating system: building repeatable sourcing channels, pressure testing interview loops, and calibrating “quality of hire” in functions that are often restructured as growth priorities shift. Experience designing and iterating hiring processes is highly portable across SaaS companies, especially where headcount efficiency and clear role definitions matter as much as speed.
This position is best suited to a recruiter who prefers hands-on ownership across the full cycle and enjoys partnering closely with hiring managers rather than operating as a ticket taker. It will fit someone who is comfortable balancing high-volume execution with process design, and who wants their craft to be measured by outcomes like hiring signal quality and candidate experience in an in-person environment.

Marketing Recruiter @ Clay
We are looking for a Recruiter to handle full-cycle talent acquisition with a focus on Marketing roles. You’ll be hands on with sourcing, interview design, and closing. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers on both the “who” and the “why” of building out their teams.
Recruiting is one of the most important functions at Clay. As a company, we’re redefining how companies turn their GTM ideas into reality. And as a recruiting team, we’re redefining how we recruit and build GTM teams across Clay.
What You’ll Do
Lead high-volume, full-cycle recruiting for Marketing roles at all levels - think roles like PMM, Narrative, Brand, but done the Clay way.
Work with teammates to ensure a delightful candidate experience, from the first conversation through each of your candidates’ first day.
Sourcing - lots of it! Clay has a strong pitch when it comes to revenue and growth, but we’re still in the early stages of getting the word out. And you’ll figure out new ways to source by using Clay, sourcing tools, and referral campaigns.
Collaborating with leadership on strategic aspects of recruiting. Success in this role isn’t just about filling requisitions, but also about quality of hire and designing effective interview processes.
What You'll Bring
You have a stellar track record across 5+ years of business/marketing recruiting experience.
You are in NYC or SF and are excited about an in-person office environment (think 4-5 days per week). You’ll be joining a team with a vibrant and creative culture, but you’ll also be a part of shaping that as Clay grows.
You’re excited to fold your creativity into your craft as a recruiter, and help Clay do recruiting differently.
You’re an effective communicator in both written and spoken contexts.
You’re an excellent interviewer, with an eye for talent that will thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup—not just the most pedigreed applicant!
You prioritize candidate experience, and have helped shaped that in your previous roles.
