Recruiting Automation & Ops Engineer
Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term, remote career. Job Title Recruiting Automation & Ops Engineer Location Remote Time Zone US time zones (EST–PST) Role Overview We’re looking for a rare blend: a recruiting operations pro who builds like an engineer. You’ll design and run the automated systems that power talent acquisition end-to-end—scaling pipeline generation, market insights, referrals, interview readiness, and data integrity. If you read a messy process and instantly start “vibe coding” a cleaner system, you’ll feel right at home.
Key Responsibilities
Build automated sourcing “bots” and workflows that consistently generate qualified, interested candidates across multiple concurrent roles Create multi-channel outreach sequences, quality dashboards, and continuous optimization loops to improve response and conversion rates Develop a market intelligence “tripwire” system that monitors competitor hiring signals, talent movements, and comp trends with real-time Slack alerts Build an internal referral/backchannel system that maps employee networks and surfaces warm intro opportunities Automate interviewer and candidate prep (prep packets, interview guides, triggered comms, calendar/ATS integrations) to improve the interview experience Redesign and improve the careers site with strong storytelling, realistic job previews, and conversion-optimized application flows Implement ATS data integrity checks, exception reporting, validation rules, and cleanup workflows to keep recruiting data reliable
Required Qualifications
Proven ability to whiteboard and explain how you would implement the automation projects described above (systems thinking + practical execution) 1+ year experience as a dedicated sourcer or recruiter (you deeply understand pipeline mechanics and candidate experience) Strong recruiting operations foundation (ATS hygiene, process design, reporting, stakeholder enablement) Comfort building scrappy, connected “systems” (not isolated point solutions) and iterating quickly based on user feedback Non-negotiable: Prior remote work experience; fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana or similar); and ideally have worked with US or UK-based companies—applications without this will not be considered High ownership, high pace, and availability beyond a strict 9–5 mindset when hiring needs require it
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building automation with tools like Clay, Cursor, Claude/AI coding tools, v0, Zapier/Make, Airtable, or similar Basic scripting or data skills (e.g., Python/JS, APIs, webhooks, SQL) to connect tools reliably Experience improving or rebuilding a careers site (SEO/AEO, conversion, content/storytelling) Exposure to talent market intel, comp benchmarking, or competitor monitoring workflows Tools & Technology ATS (Greenhouse/Lever or similar), Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, Asana (or similar), Clay, automation platforms (Zapier/Make), Airtable/Notion, dashboards/BI (Looker/Tableau/Sheets), APIs/webhooks, AI build tools (Cursor/Claude/v0) Please NOTE It is crucial that you complete the application form in full. As part of the application process, you will be required to record a video. If your application is successful, you will receive an email confirming next steps—the video is the first step of the interview process. If you do not record a video, we will not be able to consider you for ANY open roles. We connect top talent with vetted employers, competitive pay, and real growth opportunities.
