Senior Recruiter - Risk & Compliance

Mercury is building financial products to help startups and small businesses scale. Turns out this requires a lot of talented people, so we’re looking to add a Senior Risk & Compliance Recruiter to our team.

As the main hiring partner to several key leaders across the business, you’ll own the recruiting funnel for a big part of the company and have a huge impact on scaling Mercury. You will tackle niche, complex searches by employing strategic and innovative sourcing techniques.

Here are some things you’ll do on the job:

• Develop a deep understanding of Mercury’s values, brand, and product

• Work closely with managers and interviewers to build high-performing, diverse teams

• Make a friendly first impression on candidates and (no pressure) act as the living embodiment of our cultural values

• Enjoy a high level of autonomy while running a recruiting pipeline end to end, with an emphasis on engaging passive candidates

• Identify and engage top talent and provide them an exceptional experience throughout the entire recruiting funnel

• Guide hiring managers and interviewers towards unbiased decisions on candidates

• Stay up to date on company priorities and updates

• Monitor pipeline performance and share metrics with other team members

• Champion diversity and inclusion initiatives

• Experiment with new recruiting channels and analyze their effectiveness

• Actively think of ways to improve and scale recruiting processes

• Welcome new hires and act as a super helpful sage on all things Mercury as they onboard

You should:

• Have a bachelor’s degree or something you feel is equivalent

• Have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience

• Have deep experience recruiting for niche business roles, ideally within Risk & Compliance

• Have experience influencing and partnering with multiple executive stakeholders

• See yourself as an expert sourcer and enjoy seeking out passive talent

• Have an almost psychic level of empathy and intuition

• Communicate with clarity, thought, and precision

• Enjoy building diverse, inclusive, and high-performing teams

• Think about how to automate as much of your job as possible

• Have experience with tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Covey, Gem or similar

• Keep track of what you’re working on even when you’re working on a hundred different things

• Use creativity while working within difficult constraints.
