About the role
About Red Oak
Red Oak is the singular compliance platform for the financial services industry: content, review, distribution, and supervision working as one system.
Our vision: we become the compliance layer every Financial Services firm runs on.
Today, we serve 37 of the top 40 global asset managers across $101 trillion in AUM and 1,550+ regulated firms, including Fidelity, BNY, Blackstone, and JP Morgan. We're one of the fastest-growing companies in compliance tech.
Why This Role Matters
Red Oak is growing across Sales, Account Management, Customer Success, Engineering, Product, Marketing, Finance, and People. Hiring across all of those teams runs through this seat. You are the in-house recruiter for the whole company, and you partner directly with executives and hiring managers from intake call to accepted offer.
The recruiting engine is built and running: Ashby, SeekOut, a daily AI sourcing agent, a recruitment dashboard, and an automated candidate workflow. You operate it, sharpen it, and decide where agencies are needed and where in-house coverage is faster and better.
High autonomy. High ownership. High impact.
What Success Looks Like
- First 30 Days: Fluent in our tooling and process. Active in every live search and running intake calls with hiring managers.
- 90 Days: Owning multiple searches end to end, with qualified pipeline in every one and the weekly hiring dashboard delivered on schedule.
- Six Months: Time-to-fill holding across the full hiring plan, with a growing share of hires led in-house rather than through agencies.
- One Year: Hiring managers and executives treat you as the trusted owner of recruiting, and candidates consistently rate the experience highly.
The Role
You own full-cycle recruiting across every department. A typical week includes several concurrent searches at different stages: intake calls, sourcing, screens, panel scheduling, debriefs, and offer negotiation. You sit on the People team and own the salary data behind every offer.
- Own full-cycle recruiting for every open requisition in Ashby, from hiring-manager intake through offer acceptance
- Run intake calls that define the role, the ideal candidate profile, the screening rubric, and the timeline before sourcing begins
- Build and maintain qualified pipeline through direct sourcing in SeekOut and by managing the daily AI sourcing agent
- Screen candidates, coordinate assessments and panel interviews, and facilitate debriefs so hiring managers can decide quickly
- Own offer negotiation and the salary data behind it, closing offers in partnership with hiring managers
- Manage external agency relationships and own job-board and LinkedIn postings
- Publish a weekly pipeline and hiring dashboard to senior leadership covering time-to-fill, pipeline health, sourcing channel performance, and recruiter-led versus agency-led hires
- Use AI tools, including Claude Code and Grok, daily to run recruiting workflows: sourcing, candidate summaries and briefings, interview scorecards, and dashboard refreshes
What You'll Bring
- 2–5 years of recruiting experience, in-house or agency
- Experience managing multiple searches at once

- Experience at a SaaS/software company and a high-growth-stage company is a plus
