There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.\nOur customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.\n\nIn addition to our core business, Workstream is home to a small, fast-moving Robotics team focused on advancing the next generation of artificial intelligence and robotics. We partner with a leading AI and robotics company to produce high-quality, large-scale egocentric (first-person) video datasets that help train advanced AI models.\nOur Robotics team develops scalable data collection and annotation pipelines that enable the efficient creation of high-quality training datasets, helping AI systems better understand human actions, environments, and everyday interactions. We're also building a new category of connected hardware designed to operate reliably throughout the day in thousands of homes and businesses. By combining cutting-edge data collection, automation, and hardware innovation, this team is helping shape the future of intelligent systems and real-world AI applications.\n\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a highly driven, resourceful, and execution-focused Recruiter to support one of Workstream's highest-priority initiatives: scaling our Video Contributor contractor programs.\n\nThis is an initial 3-month contract engagement, with the potential for extension based on business needs and performance.\n\nIn this engagement, you will lead high-volume contractor recruiting with an immediate focus on rapidly expanding our in-office Video Contributor program in Menlo Park, while also supporting broader domestic and international contractor hiring initiatives as project priorities evolve.\n\nThis opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys building recruiting processes from the ground up, and knows how to generate candidate volume through creative sourcing, platform optimization, and operational excellence. You'll collaborate closely with recruiting, operations, project managers, and cross-functional partners to help scale hiring capacity and support ambitious production goals.\n\nThe ideal recruiter is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to source candidates, manage pipelines, optimize recruiting funnels, and improve hiring processes while thinking strategically about building repeatable, scalable recruiting systems.\n\nGiven the collaborative nature of this engagement, the contractor is expected to spend upto 5 days working from our Menlo Park office alongside the team and co-founders.\n\nWhy This Opportunity Is Different\nThis isn't a traditional recruiting assignment focused on steady-state hiring. You'll help launch and scale a high-impact operational initiative where speed, creativity, and execution matter.\n\nYou'll have the opportunity to:\nBuild scalable sourcing strategies from the ground up.\nImprove recruiting workflows and candidate experience.\nHelp rapidly scale hiring capacity for a business-critical initiative.\nPartner directly with leaders across Recruiting, Operations, and Product.\nContribute to recruiting experiments and operational improvements that may shape future hiring programs.\n\nIf you enjoy solving recruiting challenges, building efficient systems, and seeing the direct impact of your work, this engagement offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.\n\nDay In The Life\nLead end-to-end recruiting for high-volume Video Contributor contractor hiring, with an initial focus on Menlo Park.\nDevelop and execute scalable sourcing strategies across Workstream, Indeed, LinkedIn, and other recruiting platforms.\nIdentify creative sourcing channels to attract high-quality contractor talent.\nManage candidate pipelines from sourcing through screening, interview coordination, offer, and onboarding support.\nPartner closely with Recruiting, Operations, Project Managers, and People Operations to support hiring goals.\nMonitor recruiting funnel performance and recommend improvements to increase conversion rates.\nCoordinate recruiting logistics across multiple stakeholders and hiring initiatives.\nTrack recruiting metrics, hiring velocity, and sourcing effectiveness.\nBuild scalable recruiting processes that support future hiring growth.\nSupport hiring surges, special recruiting projects, and evolving business priorities.\nAssist with sourcing and recruiting efforts for other U.S. roles as needed.\n\nWho You Are\n3 to 5 years of recruiting experience, preferably supporting high-volume, contractor, hourly, staffing, or operations hiring.\nDemonstrated success scaling recruiting efforts in fast-paced or rapidly changing environments.\nStrong sourcing skills across job boards, social platforms, and creative recruiting channels.\nExperience managing high-volume recruiting pipelines with excellent organization and attention to detail.\nStrong communication and stakeholder management skills.\nComfortable working independently while collaborating across multiple teams.\nExperience improving recruiting workflows, processes, or systems.\nA proactive, resourceful, and results-oriented approach to recruiting.\nAvailability to collaborate from our Menlo Park office approximately 4–5 days per week during the engagement.\nNice to Have\nExperience in staffing, marketplace, BPO, or large-scale contractor recruiting.\nExperience recruiting for content creation, media operations, or contributor programs.\nFamiliarity with hourly workforce recruiting.\nExperience supporting international contractor hiring.\nExperience with ATS optimization, recruiting operations, or recruiting analytics.\nStartup or special projects recruiting experience.\n\nContract Details\nInitial 3-month independent contractor engagement\nCompensation: $40–$50 per hour, depending on experience, qualifications, and the scope of services\nOpportunity for extension based on project needs and performance\nDue to the collaborative nature of this project, the engagement is expected to involve regular onsite collaboration from our Menlo Park office for the majority of the workweek\nOpportunity to support one of Workstream's highest-priority operational initiatives and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and company leadership\n\nKnow More About Workstream\nhttps://www.workstream.us/blog/funding-series-b\nhttps://techcrunch.com/2021/08/26/workstreams-text-based-recruitment-tool-gets-a-48m-bet-from-bond-and-beyond/\nhttps://techbuzz.news/buzzworthy-august-27-2021/\n\nAdditional Information\nWorkstream provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
