Sales Recruiter (North America)

Hi 👋🏼 I'm Jim, the VP of People and Talent at Ashby.

Instructions:
Take your time with your application. The closing date for applications is Tuesday, July 15th at 12pm ET and we will not review any applications or speak to anyone until after that date/time. 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 at Ashby, including Steph and I!

We’re hiring two Sales Recruiters, one needs to be based in Central or Eastern Time, and the other can be located anywhere in the United States or Canada. To ensure a smooth application process, please only apply to the one role that best fits your location and experience. Submitting applications for both positions won’t improve your chances and may even delay our review. We’re excited to see which role feels like the perfect fit for you!

The Story!
I've been at Ashby for 2 years and a bit and we need some help! Interest in our product is driving amazing growth and, as a People Team, we need to expand our capacity to hire. Since our Recruiting team formed, our hiring managers have been doing most of the recruiting on their own, with some help from our lean recruiting team. As we plan out hiring for late 2025 and beyond we recognize we will need wider recruiting support, hence this role opening.

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

Ashby is seeking a Recruiter with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing Sales talent in the tech industry. In this role, you will own the end-to-end development and execution of recruitment strategies to find exceptional talent to fill critical Sales.

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 Sales positions across the business. It will also require building and collating phenomenal talent pools to create a strong infrastructure for future growth.

• Developing processes that focus on the very highest quality of hire as we scale

• Discovering and quantifying new talent pools and sourcing channels

• Engaging with departmental leaders and hiring managers to expertly qualify requirements

• 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

• Experience working across a variety of roles to be hired from at least two of Sales, Marketing or Customer Success, ideally from within a SaaS company.

• Data-driven mindset, able 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
