What you build and where it takes you should be unrestricted by the capabilities of your database. That's why we created CockroachDB as the planet's most highly evolved, cloud-native, distributed SQL database. Making scale so simple you don't even have to think about it. Making data so resilient it becomes impossible to destroy. Making delivery so seamless, your apps run anywhere. Join us on our mission to build a different breed of database—one born in the cloud and built from the ground up to help companies of any size scale fast, survive disaster, and thrive everywhere.
We're looking for an experienced Go-to-Market Recruiter to join our People team at Cockroach Labs. As our only Recruiter in the United Kingdom, you will not only make critical hires but also drive a culture that is focused on an amazing employee experience. Working closely with senior management, you will work on scaling and accomplishing an end-to-end recruitment process for various Go-to-Market positions covering both Revenue and Marketing from mid to leadership levels in the EU and the United Kingdom. You’ll work with our team to understand how recruiting ties into the business and work on roles that will impact the continued success and health of the organization.
This role is based in London and you will be expected to go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays.
In your first 30 days, we want you to learn about our product and team inside and out. To attract top talent, you need to have a deep understanding of what makes our company special and exciting from both a people and a product standpoint. We encourage you to become involved in formal conversations like team meetings and find informal opportunities like lunch or coffee to get to know our sales and customer-facing teams. Your job during this time is to be a sponge and start working on your Cockroach Labs pitch!
By 60 days, you will have a strong grasp of our recruiting processes. You will have shadowed recruiter screens and observed Hiring Committee reviews after completing onsite interviews. You will have worked alongside the team during their sourcing efforts to understand the tools and resources we use to engage candidates. Working with the Sales leaders, you'll understand our current and future headcount and identify key focus areas going forward.
After 90 days, you'll be fully integrated into the team. You will have taken over the process for some of our existing roles and lead your first-of-many hiring kick-offs for new roles. You’ll focus on the efficiency of our recruiting process and identify areas for improvement for our interviews. You may have your first candidate(s) coming onsite for interviews and will be meeting regularly with key stakeholders within the Revenue and Marketing organizations to ensure recruiting needs are being addressed.
6 months later, you will have welcomed several new Roachers to the team after bringing them through our recruiting process, start-to-finish.
Megan Mueller - Senior Manager, Recruiting
Megan transitioned into People after discovering the hard way that recruiting processes can often leave a lot to be desired from a candidate experience perspective. So when she learned about Cockroach Labs's commitment to changing this experience by building an efficient, equitable, and enjoyable one instead, she knew she had to be a part of it. Today (nearly five years later!), she leads the Go-to-Market recruiting team and partners across the company to scale programs and processes that attract amazing people to Cockroach Labs.
Megan lives on an island just off the coast of Seattle. In her free time, she can be found planning road trips around the Pacific Northwest with her partner, attempting to nurture a green thumb, or taking advantage of the incredible seafood the island life has to offer.
Cockroach Labs is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you need additional accommodations to feel comfortable during your interview process, please email us at [email protected].
