We're hiring a Recruiting Operations Lead to build and scale the operational backbone of our talent function. As Baseten enters its next phase of growth, the quality and efficiency of how we hire matters enormously — and this role exists to make every part of that process faster, smarter, and more consistent. You'll sit at the intersection of recruiting strategy, systems, and data — defining process standards, driving recruiter enablement, and turning hiring data into actionable insight. You'll work closely with our recruiters, recruiting coordinators, and people team to ensure that every candidate and hiring manager experiences something exceptional. This is a foundational role. You won't just maintain what exists — you'll design what should exist. RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and document recruiting processes. Build clear, consistent, scalable workflows across the full hiring lifecycle — from role kick-off to offer acceptance — and ensure they're adopted across the team. - Define our core metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness) and create dashboards that give recruiters, people leadership, and the business real-time visibility into hiring health. - Create training materials, calibration guides, and onboarding resources that raise the quality and consistency of our interview process across every function. - Own high-priority projects such as candidate experience improvements, referral program optimization, recruiting branding, and DEI initiatives end-to-end — from scoping to execution to measurement. - Stay ahead of the recruiting technology landscape — from AI-powered sourcing tools to interview intelligence platforms — and bring a thoughtful POV on what Baseten should adopt and how. - Collaborate with People, Finance, and BizTech to ensure recruiting data flows cleanly into downstream systems, headcount plans stay current, and compliance requirements are met.
