Mercury is building financial products to help startups and small businesses scale. Turns out this requires a lot of people, so we’re looking to add a Senior Recruiter Contractor to our high performing and fun loving Recruiting Team! You will support hiring for roles across our Customer Support, Risk, and Operations orgs. You’ll partner closely with a variety of teams and hiring managers, hiring top notch talent across all non-technical orgs. This will initially be a 3 month contract, with the possibility of extension based on business needs.

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

  • Run a full cycle recruiting pipeline end to end across various teams and roles within the Risk and Customer Support orgs. 
  • Source passive candidates, conduct phone screens, keep candidates updated and moving quickly throughout the process, extending offers, and offer negotiations.
  • Work closely with managers and interviewers to build high-performing, diverse teams.
  • Make a warm and genuine first impression on candidates and (no pressure) act as the living embodiment of our cultural values.
  • Develop a deep understanding of Mercury’s values, brand, and product.
  • Be a strategic partner to hiring managers and interviewers, and guide them to make the best decisions on candidates.
  • Monitor pipeline performance and make data driven decisions. 
  • Champion diversity and inclusion initiatives.
  • Actively think of ways to improve and scale recruiting processes.

You should:

  • Have a bachelor’s degree or something you feel is equivalent.
  • Have 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, from sourcing to closing.
  • Have recruited for similar roles in the past. 
  • Experience running full cycle recruiting on high volume or evergreen roles is a huge plus, but not required. 
  • Be excited to learn new areas of the business, partner with different hiring managers, and be willing to take on new roles as they come up. 
  • 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, and have a bias towards action.
  • Keep track of what you’re working on, even when you’re working on a hundred different things.
  • Genuinely love recruiting and all that comes with it! 

 

Schedule Information:

  • Required: to work a Monday - Friday schedule,  ~40 hours per week
  • Working hours are flexible as long as you can work generally between the hours of 8am and 6pm, in your local time zone

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
