Head of Recruiting

Join Novo, a fast-growing fintech company, as the Head of Recruiting. In this individual contributor role, you will own the recruiting process across North America, utilizing AI-based tools to streamline sourcing, screening, and candidate communication. You will partner directly with hiring managers and shape how Novo hires as we scale. This position is based in New York City and offers a range of benefits, including flexible work options, modern benefits, professional development opportunities, and a fun and diverse culture.

• Assumer la responsabilité de l'ensemble du processus de recrutement, de la planification des effectifs à la gestion des offres.
• Collaborer avec les responsables de l'embauche pour rédiger des descriptions de poste, définir des critères de sélection et construire des boucles d'entretien.
• Gérer les outils de recrutement basés sur l'IA, configurer les agents de sourcing, de présélection, de planification et de communication avec les candidats.

• Comfort working at speed in a startup environment while holding a high bar for quality and candidate experience
• Based in the New York City area, or willing to relocate
• Strong judgment on candidate quality—you can tell the difference between a resume that keyword-matches and a person who will actually succeed in the role
• 4–6 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in-house or agency, with a meaningful stretch at a fintech, bank, or high-growth startup
• Hands-on experience running AI-based recruiting tools (AI sourcing, screening, scheduling, or candidate-communication platforms), and a clear point of view on what they're good at and where they fail
• Fluency with a modern ATS (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever or similar) and disciplined data hygiene
• Excellent written and verbal communication; you can brief a hiring manager, coach an interviewer, and write to a candidate with equal ease
• A track record hiring across business functions—product, customer support or operations, credit or risk, and at least one regulated banking or financial-services role
• Working knowledge of US employment law as it applies to hiring, including the rules around automated decision tools; familiarity with Canadian hiring norms is a plus
• Comfort configuring tools yourself: writing and refining screening criteria or prompts, building automations, and reading a dashboard without waiting for someone else to do it
• Experience hiring for credit, underwriting, banking operations or compliance roles at a bank or fintech
• Experience recruiting in both the US and Canada
• Employer branding or recruitment marketing experience
• You've built or owned a recruiting workflow with tools like Zapier, Make, or an LLM API—or you've prompted your way to a better screen than the vendor default
• Experience training hiring managers and interviewers on structured, bias-aware interviewing
