We are looking for a positive and relentless Recruiting Coordinator to join our team. In this role, your primary responsibility will be to keep the wheels on our hiring processes and act as a source of truth for our Recruiters and Hiring Managers. We're seeking someone who loves calendar management, connecting with new people, and someone who is excited about the challenges and opportunities of scaling an early-stage startup.

About us

unspun is a robotics and digital apparel company, with a mission to reduce global carbon emissions by 1% through automated, localized, and intentional manufacturing.

Included in Time's Best Inventions & Fast Company's World Changing Ideas, unspun aims to rapidly transition the trillion-dollar apparel world into one that is more intentional, inclusive, and efficient by focusing on the overlap between sustainability and profitability.

We've developed VegaTM, a proprietary and patent-pending technology at the crossroads of 3D weaving and automated textile manufacturing. By skipping the flat 2D fabric stage, we can additively build custom apparel products from the ground up - straight from yarn to final product. If scaling disruptive manufacturing technologies, optimizing complex production systems, and supporting teams through rapid growth gets you excited, we'd love to talk!

About You

As the Recruiting Coordinator at unspun, you will bring clarity to the processes and people involved with hiring across the team. You'll be pivotal in ensuring that our small-but-mighty People team can hire and onboard all of the amazing humans needed to hit our aggressive company milestones in the next two years.

If you're energized by the idea of a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where you can impact every touchpoint of the candidate to employee experience and champion continuous improvement, this is the perfect place for you to shine.

Responsibilities include:

Handling on-site interview coordination between the candidates and the internal team, including insuring that interviewers have the appropriate materials, rooms, and calendars are blocked off, as well as being the on-site liaison for the candidate
Support our recruiters on screening inbound applications, setting up pipelines with hiring managers, and sending updates to hiring channels to keep everyone on the same page
Create KPI's and metrics for tracking interviewing lift across the company; protect hiring managers and interviewers from being overloaded
Taking on intro calls as needed, being able to paint a picture of what it's like to work at unspun and speak to the responsibilities and business impact of open roles

Ideal Qualities

3-5 years experience in operational roles, ideally with 2+ years in a recruiting-adjacent role, and familiarity with an industry-standard ATS like Greenhouse or Ashby
Strong communication skills (verbally and in writing) and an ability to build and maintain strong working relationships across people ops and hiring managers
A belief in the value of providing a best-in-class candidate experience
Ability to stay positive and collaborative when people are being challenging or not responsive
Experience scaling operations and processes
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Bonus Points

An enthusiasm for climate tech, robotics, and/or sustainable fashion
Experience with, or interest in, technical sourcing

We don't expect you to have all of the listed qualities and are looking for someone who hopes to learn those areas where they don't have as much experience. So if you don't meet all of the requirements listed above but can make up for it with a voracious passion for learning how to do so, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Our philosophy

We won't roll our eyes if your socks don't match. We get it. But then, if you spend those extra few minutes in the morning matching your socks and shirt, we get that too. Our workspaces are sometimes spotless and sometimes chaotic, and we celebrate messy exploration. We work through complex problems but generate simple and elegant solutions. We strive to look at things differently, and never do anything solely because "that's the way it's always been done."

We're a team of designers and engineers, industry-veterans and serial entrepreneurs, artists and developers. We're aspiring chess masters and climbers, bakers and photographers. Originally spun out of Stanford and the University of Colorado, we now call Emeryville home, with strong ties to Hong Kong. We are looking for teammates who share our desire to work on ambitious problems and leave the world better than we found it.

unspun is an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to being a diverse team that reflects a broad range of background, thought, and experience. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, status as an individual with a disability, status as protected veteran, or any other legally protected characteristics. Women, minorities, and people from underrepresented backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

The salary range for this role is $85,000 - $107,000, depending on experience, plus equity benchmarked to the 75th percentile. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including:
