[Hiring] Senior Recruiter @Workshop Hiring

Role Description

Join Assembly as a Senior Recruiter and put your school recruiting experience to work:

• Run searches that matter to schools and students
• Partner with district and school leaders to understand their needs and keep searches moving
• Find, engage, and screen candidates for hard-to-fill roles
• Work with colleagues who support sourcing, technology, and school relationships
• Help improve the tools you use to recruit
• Use Assembly’s technology and AI tools in your daily work
• Test new approaches on live searches and share what works
• Give the product and engineering team specific feedback on what would make recruiting better

You’ll be our "Customer Zero": an experienced recruiter using Assembly’s tools with real schools and candidates. You’ll work directly with product and engineering to test features, identify problems, and help decide what to improve next. That contribution grows out of the searches you run every day.

What You'll Do

This is a hands-on recruiting role. Most of your time will focus on running searches, screening candidates, and keeping school partners informed. You’ll own a portfolio of searches and conduct phone screens for colleagues’ searches, with support from our product, engineering, and school relationship teams.

Own Recruiting Delivery

• Translate school needs into clear candidate profiles and search plans
• Find and engage candidates through direct outreach and targeted campaigns
• Conduct thoughtful phone screens and give hiring managers clear, evidence-based recommendations
• Manage your own searches and screening assignments for others, switching between roles and school contexts without losing the details

Manage School Relationships

• Own communication with school partners from intake through candidate handoff and follow-up until roles are filled
• Set clear expectations, share progress, gather feedback, and adjust the search when priorities change
• Keep accurate records and make sure candidates, hiring managers, and colleagues know the next step

Support Company Development

• Use Assembly’s tools and AI workflows to source, screen, and manage candidates
• Test new features on live searches and give product and engineering concrete feedback
• Identify where AI improves the process and where a recruiter’s judgment and relationships matter most
• Share useful workflows with colleagues and document what improves candidate quality and search results

Qualifications

• School Recruiting Experience: A strong record recruiting for schools or districts, with an understanding of hiring cycles, role requirements, and school operations.
• Search Ownership: Experience independently managing multiple searches and delivering qualified, interested candidates.
• AI Proficiency and Curiosity: You already use AI in your work, can show workflows you’ve built or improved, and know how to evaluate the results.
• Organized Execution: You keep accurate records, manage school relationships, and switch between searches without losing track of priorities or follow-up.

Preferred Backgrounds

• Recruiters from school districts or charter networks who have filled challenging roles
• Education staffing or recruiting professionals who have served multiple school customers
• Former educators who moved into recruiting and helped build processes or introduce new tools

Who You Are

• A School Insider: You understand the realities of school hiring and earn educators’ trust through informed, thoughtful conversations.
• Detail-Oriented and Strategic: You keep track of the details while recognizing when a search needs a different approach.
• Relationship Builder: You earn the trust of school partners and candidates, communicate clearly, and follow through on commitments.
• Efficient and Scrappy: You move work forward, learn new tools quickly, and take ownership when the next step isn’t obvious.
• Collaborative: You share your reasoning, welcome feedback, and enjoy building with people whose expertise differs from yours.

Why Join Assembly

• Direct Impact at Scale: Help schools find excellent people today while building a platform intended to improve hiring across K–12.
• A Supported Early Role: Take ownership of meaningful work with colleagues who bring expertise in education, recruiting, product, and company building.
• Mission-driven team: Work with people committed to better schools and experienced entrepreneurs who know what it takes to build a company.
