First Recruiter

San Francisco or New York City

Nuvo is bringing Business to Business commerce online.

While technology has reshaped consumer commerce, the business-to-business (B2B) economy — three times larger— has lagged behind. B2B trade between manufacturers, distributors, and retailers rely on private networks through complex offline workflows ****including partner onboarding, risk verification, order placements, invoicing, payments, financing, insurance and reconciliation.

Much like how Shopify, Stripe and Square have transformed consumer commerce, we aim to do the same for B2B commerce. Today we serve tens of thousands of businesses in the US across industries such as glass, steel, automotive, chemicals, agriculture.

We’re backed by leading technology investors including Index Ventures and Founder Fund and have recently raised our Series A financing.

About The Role

We are hiring for our first Talent teammate. In this role, you’ll partner closely with the founders and function leaders to hire the teammates that will make Nuvo a generational business. You’ll be both a strategist and an operator — you’ll build the recruiting processes and engine, as well as operate as a “full-cycle” recruiter.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring Nuvo hits our hiring goals. You’ll work closely with hiring managers across all parts of the business, our investors (and their Talent teams), and external supporting teammates like talent agencies to identify, recruit and close the best candidates.

Primary Responsibilities

• Build our Recruiting Engine: Partner with the founders to build the end-to-end recruiting process. Own the operations of recruiting, with a focus on referrals, sourcing (see the next bullet), coordinating and candidate experience.
• Sourcer Extraordinaire: Be creative in finding great candidates for various role, leveraging Nuvo’s network and your own network. Be tenacious (and creative) in reaching out.
• Define, Manage & Improve Core Recruiting Metrics: Ensure the recruiting KPIs are measurable, and put in place processes to improve metrics that are lagging.
• Think for Scale: Identify ways to be recruit more successfully — whether it be internal tooling or engaging with an agency — and implement those ideas (with support from cross-functional teams).
• Candidate Advocate: Be the voice of candidate at Nuvo. Work to make candidates as successful as possible throughout the interview process.
• Nuvo’s Next Sales Person: Be able to tell a really clear story about how a role and Nuvo is perfect for the candidate. Sell Nuvo as well as the founders.
  
  

About You

• You’re a Builder: You love building new processes or reshaping existing processes. The fact that a process doesn’t exist doesn’t make you nervous — it excites you.
• You’re Operationally Minded: You don’t drop balls. You’ve got systems to make sure that the core systems work they way they need to.
• You’re Tenacious: Nuvo doesn’t have a well-established brand (yet), so most of our hires come from referrals or outbound. You’re tenacious when it comes to building relationships with people who could become candidates.
• You’ve Worked at Series-A Startups Before: Early-stage companies are a special beast. You’ve worked with/in start-ups before.
• You’re Collaborative: You thrive on feedback (and love giving it). You become the “right hand (wo)man” to the hiring managers you work with.
• You can Source, Coordinate and Recruit: You’ll be the first Talent teammate at Nuvo, so you’ll need to be able to pull from experience supporting across the recruiting pipeline.
