Baseten Recruiting Operations Specialist at Baseten manages day-to-day recruiting system requests and reporting. The role focuses on intake, resolving issues, routing requests, and improving recruiting workflows with AI tools.
Responsibilities
Are you the person your recruiting team goes to when something needs fixing, answering, or building? As a Recruiting Operations Specialist, you'll keep the day-to-day requests from the recruiting team and our hiring partners moving quickly and accurately across our recruiting systems, reporting, and AI tools. Baseten is growing fast, and this role helps the recruiting team keep up.
Much of your time goes to intake: sorting requests, resolving what you can, routing the rest, and closing the loop. As you learn our systems, you'll take on project work that makes those requests less frequent over time. You'll report to the Recruiting Operations Lead and work alongside another Specialist, plus a Recruiting Operations Program Manager and an Analyst, supporting both with data, setup, and rollout work.

Set up and update our ATS, including opening new jobs, building interview plans, and maintaining interviewer assignments and interviewer pools.
Manage system access, permissions, and tool licenses for recruiters, coordinators, interviewers, and hiring managers.

Qualification
Experience building something with AIStrong triage judgmentHighly organized and detail-orientedClear
Required
1+ year in recruiting coordination or recruiting operations, ideally at a fast-growing company.
Hands-on experience administering or configuring an applicant tracking system, not just using it (Ashby strongly preferred; Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday also relevant).
Ability to turn a hiring need into a working ATS setup (job, stages, interview plan, forms) with little direction.
Experience pulling and sharing recruiting data, such as building simple reports or keeping recurring ones up to date.
Experience building something with AI, like a prompt workflow, a custom GPT or Claude Project, or a small automation.
Strong triage judgment: you can decide what's urgent, what can wait, and when to escalate.
Highly organized and detail-oriented, and comfortable with a high volume of small requests without letting things drop.
Comfortable with spreadsheets and basic data work, such as filters, pivot tables, and spotting numbers that don't add up.
Clear, friendly written communication, especially in Slack and documentation.
Able to work from our San Francisco office Tuesday through Thursday.
