Hiring Operations Assistant
We are Meg K and Co, a hiring agency for socially conscious micro businesses, and we’re looking to add a Hiring Operations Assistant to the team! We hire aligned support for values-driven businesses that range from service providers (copywriting agencies, web and brand agencies, e-commerce web agencies, and more!), coaches/online educators, and e-commerce brands.
Meg K and Co is founded by Megan Baker, a former public school teacher with a passion for social justice and creating more equity in hiring practices and job opportunities. Though Meg doesn’t have traditional HR experience, her education experience makes her great at deeply vetting candidates, and helping her clients uncover unconscious bias and see the potential in candidates and opportunities to develop talent. We only work with clients who have an interest in anti-racism and having a more just hiring process and business practices.
We are hiring on a part-time, remote Hiring Operations Assistant to assist Meg in the day-to-day operations of our hiring projects for our amazing clients and candidates! The majority of this role will be having initial video screening call conversations with outstanding candidates, and updating clients on hiring project statuses.
If you are interested in working with mission-driven companies, connecting with people on a personal level, and supporting a mission of dismantling racism and oppressive systems in business, keep on reading!
