Job description

We are Indeed Flex. We Help People Get Jobs. Right now, we’re hiring! We are a tech-first staffing platform that gives workers the freedom to choose their own shifts and businesses the power to hire with a click. We are removing the friction from the traditional agency model and replacing it with speed, transparency, and choice. We operate with the agility and energy of a high-growth scale-up, but we are backed by the stability and resources of Indeed - the world’s #1 job site. This gives us a unique advantage: the freedom to innovate at speed, with the muscle to dominate the market. The Role This role is based in the Chicago area. As a Senior Recruiter, you will develop and execute strategies to attract, assess, and onboard high-quality Flexers across U.S. markets. This role goes beyond traditional recruitment. You will be a consultative partner to internal stakeholders, using market insight, recruitment data, AI interviews, and modern recruiting technology to build reliable worker pipelines for high-volume operational needs. You will help determine whether a hiring challenge is driven by candidate volume, market conditions, pay, scheduling, onboarding friction, role requirements, client expectations, or worker experience. You will use that judgment to recommend the right recruitment approach, improve candidate conversion, and protect quality as the business scales. This role requires autonomy, strong operational judgment, inclusive candidate communication, and confidence using AI-enabled recruiting workflows. You will help refine AI interview processes, improve screening criteria, and make sure automation supports better hiring decisions rather than replacing human judgment. What you’ll be doing Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential responsibilities and duties of the position. Strategic Recruiting and Market Ownership Build proactive candidate pipelines across priority U.S. markets using direct sourcing, market research, reactivation, referrals, community partnerships, job boards, and targeted outreach.

Use AI tools, including Cursor or similar platforms, to improve sourcing, outreach, documentation, analysis, workflow efficiency, and process design while validating outputs with sound recruiter judgment. Partner with operational and product stakeholders to refine AI-enabled hiring workflows so automation improves speed, consistency, quality, and candidate experience. Hiring Events, Worker Coaching, and Upskilling Lead high-volume hiring events, including event preparation, candidate flow, stakeholder coordination, post-event follow-up, and conversion analysis. Lead worker coaching, app-education, and upskill sessions that help Flexers understand the platform, complete next steps, meet role expectations, and succeed on shift. Support community outreach and in-market recruiting efforts that create stronger local pipelines and improve access for candidates. Quality, Data, and Continuous Improvement Assess candidates against role requirements, safety and compliance expectations, prior worker history, client standards, and post-hire quality signals. Deliver clear, respectful, and accessible communication so candidates understand pay, schedule, onboarding steps, role expectations, site requirements, and next steps.
