Recruiting Partner (Full-Time, Fixed-Term — 1 Year)

JOB SUMMARY

A note on role structure: This is a full-time position with a defined term ending one year from the start date. Extension beyond that term is possible but is not guaranteed and should not be assumed.

Hiring is one of the most important things we do, as every person who joins Code.org shapes what we can deliver for students. The Recruiting Partner owns the full hiring lifecycle from intake to offer. They find and engage exceptional talent - people whose skills and experience are genuinely aligned with what Code.org is trying to do in the world - and bring the rigor, structure, and expertise that turns hiring from guesswork into a repeatable and defensible process. The Recruiting Partner is the expert in the room on assessing talent, from designing the right assessments and structuring the right conversations to coaching Hiring Managers to evaluate what actually predicts performance. Every candidate, at every stage, gets an experience that reflects who we are.

If you believe that the people we hire determine what we can do for students, and that getting hiring right is itself mission-critical work, this role is for you.
