  • 3+ years of full-cycle Business/Corporate/CX recruiting experience where you have supported both high volume and leverage recruiting.
    • Minimum of 1 year supporting volume hiring
    • Minimum of 1 year supporting leverage hiring for niche roles
  • Tactical experience using Greenhouse, Workday, and other recruiting tools such as Gem, Calendly, and LinkedIn Recruiter
  • Preferred: previous experience recruiting for health insurance/benefits and/or payroll providers
  • Experience coaching hiring managers, providing consultative guidance throughout the recruiting process
  • Proven experience with passive sourcing and strategic pipeline building, and experience closing profiles ranging from entry level, to senior leadership positions
  • Familiarity with funnel metrics - you can use your data to understand and predict candidates needed to achieve hiring targets
  • Ability to qualify a candidate and understand what each candidate brings to the table, as well as connect that candidate with the right opportunity at Gusto
  • At your best in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment

Our cash compensation amount for this role is $94,000/year to $111,000/year in Denver. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location, experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
