Recruiting Operations Specialist (contract to hire)

Jerry
Chicago, IL
You could be a recruiting coordinator anywhere. Why Jerry.ai?

  • Join a pre-IPO startup with capital, traction, and runway: We are tackling a $2T market, have $240M in funding, 60X revenue growth, and we’re profitable.
  • Launch your career in recruiting. We’re committed to mentoring and promoting high performers into Recruiter or Sourcer roles as you learn our hiring bar and how the business runs.
  • You’ll build, not just execute. You’ll run scheduling and logistics, but you’ll also have the autonomy to improve systems, fix bottlenecks, and make the whole team faster and more effective.

Why contract-to-perm?

At Jerry.ai, we move quickly and our hiring bar is high. We treat coordination like white-glove operations rather than just admin support. The contract phase (3 months) is a chance for both sides to see if we’re the right match. You’ll get a front-row seat to our "high ownership, high impact" culture. If you thrive on urgency and precision, the path to a permanent role here is clear.

About The Opportunity

You will be the operational backbone of our recruiting engine, owning the logistics and making sure every candidate experiences a seamless, high-touch process end to end.

We’re looking for a high-velocity operator who doesn’t just execute tasks, but anticipates what’s next, removes friction before it appears, and helps the recruiting team move faster, smarter, and more effectively. You’ll act as a true force multiplier for our recruiting engine, your work will directly shape our ability to attract and hire top talent at Jerry.ai.

How You Will Make An Impact

  • Provide "white-glove" service to candidates by sending personalized pre-interview info and managing LinkedIn outreach
  • Manage the lifecycle of take-home assignments, maintain candidate profiles in Ashby ATS, and ensure all candidate documents are accessible to those who need them
  • Manage recruiter calendars with precision, rearranging interviews on the fly to prioritize high-impact candidates and maximize our daily capacity
  • Act as the point person for leadership’s urgent recruiting needs, whether it's updating compensation bands, posting new job reqs, or coordinating the training/shadowing of new interviewers

Who You Are

  • You can’t stand inefficiency: You’re always spotting ways to automate, streamline, and level-up how work gets done, and you enjoy turning messy processes into clean, scalable systems.
  • You have an intense sense of urgency: You don't wait for things to happen, you make them happen. You move quickly, close loops fast, and thrive in environments where priorities shift and speed matters.
  • Your attention to detail is impeccable: You catch the small things that others miss. Your written communication is clear, polished and professional, and you keep processes tight so nothing slips.
  • You are a proactive problem solver: You’re calm under pressure, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You can handle high-stakes, time-sensitive requests from leadership without losing focus or pace.

Ideal Profile

  • Prior experience in a fast-growth startup or a high-volume agency environment is strongly preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree

While we appreciate your interest and application, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.
