Recruiting Coordinator

Outset invented a better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews. Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale. The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services. That's our opportunity. Outset is backed by top Silicon Valley investors and raised a $30M Series B in December 2025—less than six months after our Series A—led by Radical Ventures with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s venture arm), 8VC, Y Combinator, and Adverb Ventures. The raise follows a breakout year, with our business growing 8x as enterprise customers across industries adopt our category, AI‑moderated research, as the new standard for understanding people. We’re a tight-knit team serving some of the world’s largest enterprises. We’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Recruiting Coordinator to help us deliver an exceptional candidate experience while supporting rapid, high-volume hiring.

Identify scheduling bottlenecks and recurring process issues; recommend and implement practical improvements. Create and maintain recruiting documentation, templates, reporting trackers, and process guides. Help build scalable recruiting operations that can evolve as the company grows. Qualifications 1-3 years of recruiting coordination or similar scheduling-intensive experience. Experience supporting high-volume hiring in a startup, high-growth, fast-paced environment.
