Recruiting Coordinator

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not.

To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.

NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you.

If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.

The Talent team hires the people who build NEO: robotics, AI, manufacturing, and the teams that support them. Recruiting Coordination is the operating layer of that work. Every interview, every candidate touchpoint, and every record in Ashby runs through this team, so when coordination is excellent, 1X hires faster and candidates leave every conversation wanting to work here.

The mission of this role is to give a seamless experience during every interview, and to make the coordination function faster every quarter. You are one of two Lead Recruiting Coordinators. Each of you owns half of the hiring org end to end, from scheduling and candidate communication to data integrity in Ashby. You lead by setting the standard for quality and speed, and by being the person the team turns to when something breaks. Hiring speed is on 1X’s critical path, and this role is where that speed is won or lost day to day.

Own end-to-end interview scheduling for executive and high-volume roles in your half of the org, delivered without errors, with last-minute conflicts resolved quickly and calmly.

Deliver consistently high satisfaction scores from candidates and hiring managers through transparent, timely communication with every interview participant.

Drive down time-to-schedule and time-to-feedback by identifying bottlenecks in the hiring workflow and implementing automation for scheduling and feedback collection.

Optimize and iterate the coordination team’s playbooks and training guides so every coordinator runs the same process and new hires ramp fast.

Lead as the escalation point for daily operational issues in your half of the org, setting the bar for quality and speed across the coordination team, and keep Ashby complete and current as the single source of truth for every open role.

Handles confidential candidates, compensation, and offer information with total accuracy and discretion.

Stays calm and decisive when a schedule breaks an hour before the interview, and fixes it without creating noise for the candidate or the panel.

Thinks in systems: sees a repeated problem and fixes the process, not only the instance.

Communicates clearly and proactively with executives, hiring managers, and candidates, in writing and live.

Sets a high standard and holds peers to it without direct authority.

Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
