Talent Acquisition Executive

We're seeking a Talent Acquisition Specialist to build and scale our global tutor network from scratch. You'll own full-cycle recruiting for educators, from workforce planning and sourcing to assessment, offers, and onboarding.

You'll need to understand educational talent deeply: what makes a great tutor, how to assess teaching ability in interviews, and how to move quickly without compromising quality.

What You'll Do

Sourcing & Pipeline Building

• Build global talent pipelines across subjects, grade levels, and specializations (including special needs education)
• Develop creative sourcing strategies through universities, teacher communities, and professional networks
• Establish employer brand in education communities

Full-Cycle Recruiting

• Screen, interview, coordinate with subject experts, and close candidates
• Assess subject expertise, teaching ability, communication skills, and cultural fit
• Make data-driven hiring recommendations

Workforce Planning

• Analyze student demand to forecast hiring needs by subject
• Track recruiting metrics and optimize processes
• Identify talent market trends and adjust strategies

Process Design

• Build scalable screening and assessment frameworks
• Create structured interview guides that measure subject mastery, teaching instincts, emotional intelligence, and passion
• Refine candidate experience based on feedback

Onboarding & Quality

• Design focused 2-3 day onboarding programs
• Define hiring criteria and quality standards
• Track post-hire performance to improve selection accuracy
  

What We're Looking For

Core Skills

• 2+ years full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally high-volume or specialized roles
• Creative sourcing and strong assessment abilities
• Proven stakeholder management across teams and time zones
• Excellent organizational skills managing multiple priorities

Personal Attributes

• High agency—you solve problems proactively without hand-holding
• Tech-savvy with ATS platforms, CRMs, and sourcing tools
• Outstanding communicator who builds rapport quickly
• Sound judgment to assess teaching ability and spot red flags
• Bias toward action—ship, test, iterate
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities
• Data-informed decision maker
  

Nice to Have

• Education, edtech, or mission-driven recruiting experience
• Marketplace or platform business background
• International/remote recruiting experience
• Familiarity with education sector talent pools
  

Why This Role Matters

• Strategic Impact: Shape hiring strategy with founders, not just fill requisitions
• Build from Scratch: Create the recruiting playbook for a global education platform
• Full Ownership: Real autonomy over processes and decisions
• Meaningful Work: Every great tutor you hire changes students' lives
  

The Reality

This role moves fast. Hiring needs shift quickly. You'll make decisions with incomplete information and iterate constantly. But if you're energized by strategic recruiting, assessing teaching talent, and building at startup pace—you'll thrive here.
