Work & Co (work.co) defines and launches the world’s most successful digital products and services. With a team over 400+ and offices in the United States, Brazil, and Europe, we’ve become the go-to partner for IKEA, Google, Apple, Mercedes, Vistaprint, MTA, Planned Parenthood, Gatorade, and more. As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach “a model to follow.”

We’re seeking a seasoned recruiter to join the Work & Co team in our Brooklyn office.

The talent pool for top digital designers, engineers and product managers isn’t huge. Because the digital product industry is still nascent, our best candidates may come from a wide variety of companies, backgrounds and geographies. We intentionally set the bar extremely high, because quality talent is what leads to the best quality products in the world. 

Our new recruiter is both professional and persistent, understanding that we’re not looking to hire a lot of people, just a few of the very, very best people. They are an effective and confident communicator. They will also be responsible for ushering active candidates through our interview process as well as identifying new potential sources for candidate outreach.

This person is obsessed with the candidate experience. They understand that the interview process should reflect the Work & Co brand. Because they have a mastery of what’s unique about Work & Co, they bring to every interview a solid understanding of our distinct processes and workflow. They are adept at pinpointing who will be a great fit for us and who’s not. They keep the standards high and maintain an environment where all employees are extraordinary at their craft, value the power of diversity and a range of perspectives, and above all, are good human beings.
