We’re a springboard for building and scaling payroll businesses. THE PEOPLE TEAM At Check, Talent is our highest investment, and Checketeers are the ultimate driver of our long-term growth and success. The People team is dedicated to bringing together skilled and dedicated individuals that can bring our business vision to life, and to fostering an engaged, high-performing team. We aim to create a diverse and equitable workplace where everyone pitches in to achieve incredible things, and every Checketeer is celebrated, supported, and valued for their contributions. Check is looking for a Lead Recruiter to drive our hiring efforts during a critical growth phase, partnering closely with people leaders across R&D, GTM, and G&A. This role sits at the center of how we build the company. It requires strong judgment, clear communication, deep ownership, and a genuine love for partnering with hiring managers and candidates alike. You'll be responsible for bringing exceptional people into Check while building real partnership with hiring managers — shaping roles, calibrating bar, and running rigorous-but-human interview processes. To thrive in this role you must care deeply about candidate experience, hiring quality, and the daily business impact of your work, and you should be excited to be a public-facing partner across the leadership team, not a heads-down operations engine. As you burn through our highest-priority reqs, your scope will broaden into deliberate optimization and infrastructure work: interviewer up-skilling, employer branding, debrief and calibration tooling, and hiring manager enablement at scale. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Own full-cycle recruiting across Engineering, GTM, and G&A with an outcomes-focused mentality. You'll partner with hiring managers to define needs, clarify what great looks like, and engage with top talent to fill those seats. - Be a true partner to hiring managers from day one. You'll shape roles, drive intake conversations that draw out spicy takes, challenge assumptions, and align teams on Check's standards and needs. Stakeholder partnership is the primary mode of operation here, it’s not optional. - Run sourcing, outreach, and pipeline-building campaigns that keep candidate flow rich for our highest-priority roles. You'll optimize for quality over quantity to keep efforts efficient. - Drive recruiting operations within Ashby, leveraging the platform's AI-augmented sourcing, search, and pipeline tools to amplify your reach and impact. You’ll continually explore new ways to help our team make great hiring decisions quickly, while keeping candidates excited about Check. - Scale our recruiting function as we grow from 85 → 100 → 150 FTEs and beyond, always building with ROI and stakeholder experience in mind. - Set and maintain a high performance bar for talent while moving fast. You'll keep the big picture in mind, ensuring strong long-term staffing decisions and helping us dodge negotiation traps. - Work in the open. You'll be a public partner to hiring managers
