About Arketa

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses, whether online, in-person, or both.

With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It's a unique moment to join us. We're building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we're looking for teammates who are excited to help shape the future of wellness.

About the Role

Arketa is hiring an Associate Recruiter to partner directly with our Recruiting Lead and learn full-cycle recruiting from the ground up. This is an early-career role built for someone with strong instincts and a hunger to grow. You'll start by supporting our go-to-market and customer-facing hiring, primarily SDRs, Account Executives, and Support Reps.

Day to day, you'll coordinate interviews, keep candidates moving with a fast and thoughtful experience, source top-of-funnel talent, and keep our ATS and reporting clean and accurate. As you build confidence and trust, you'll take on more of the search yourself, from running intakes with hiring managers to owning reqs end-to-end.

This is a role with real mentorship and a clear path to grow. You'll work side by side with our Recruiting Lead, who will invest in developing you into a well-rounded recruiter. If you're organized, curious, coachable, and energized by learning while you contribute, this is a rare chance to build a recruiting career from the inside of a fast-growing startup.

Traditional recruiting experience isn't required, and neither is a specific degree or career path. We're just as excited about a new grad who is hungry to build something as we are about someone with a year under their belt. If you've worked in sales, operations, or any customer-facing role, or if you're simply drawn to the idea of connecting with people and closing on great outcomes, you'll likely feel right at home here.

What matters most is that you're resourceful, quick to learn, and relentless about results. If you thrive in fast-moving environments and you're excited to help shape what recruiting looks like at a company building it from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

This role is based remotely in the U.S.. You will work EST/CT time zone, approximately.

This role will be taken down July 20th at Midnight MST.

About the Team

You'll join a brand-new, fast-growing talent function, partnering one-on-one with our Recruiting Lead. This is a small, high-trust team where your work is highly visible and directly tied to whether Arketa hits its growth goals. You'll work closely with GTM hiring managers across Sales and Support. The micro-culture is scrappy, collaborative, and data-curious: we'd rather build a smart system than repeat manual work, and we care deeply about candidates leaving every interaction as advocates for Arketa, regardless of outcome. You'll have the support to learn quickly and the runway to take on more ownership over time.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate and schedule interviews across multiple searches, keeping candidates and hiring managers informed at every step

• Drive a fast, high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through offer

• Source top-of-funnel talent and help build healthy pipelines under the guidance of the Recruiting Lead

• Keep our ATS clean and accurate, and help maintain clear, reliable reporting

• Re-engage strong talent from past searches and our applicant pool to build a warm, ongoing candidate community

• Partner with the Recruiting Lead to learn how we run intakes, interview for culture, and raise the bar consistently

• Support hiring classes so GTM and support teams can grow on schedule

• Grow into owning full-cycle searches as you build confidence and trust

• Bring curiosity and a process-improvement mindset, looking for ways to make hiring faster, fairer, and more efficient

• Champion an interview process that optimizes for a great experience for Arketa and candidates regardless of the outcome

What Success Looks Like

We believe in setting our team up to thrive, and we know great recruiters are built, not born.

• 30 days: You've built relationships with your hiring managers and the Recruiting Lead, learned how Arketa works and what makes our culture distinct, and ramped on our tools, ATS, and active reqs. You're coordinating interviews smoothly and candidates are having a great experience.

• 60 days: You're independently owning interview coordination and candidate communication across active searches, sourcing top-of-funnel talent, and keeping our pipelines and reporting clean. You're starting to run pieces of the search yourself with support.

• 90 days: You're driving portions of full-cycle searches with growing independence, contributing sourced candidates who convert. You have a clear development plan toward owning your own reqs.

What We're Looking For

• A new graduate, OR up to one year of sales, operations, customer support

• Genuinely excited about a career in recruiting and eager to learn the craft end-to-end

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle many moving pieces without dropping the ball

• A strong, warm communicator who represents Arketa well to candidates and hiring managers

• Coachable and self-aware; you welcome feedback and act on it quickly

• Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast pace; you take initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do

• Able to thrive in a remote setting

• An over communicator: Receipts are found in slack, notion or other shared channels.

Bonus

• Experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or as a recruiting coordinator (agency or in-house)

• Exposure to full-cycle or high-volume GTM recruiting (SDRs, AEs, support, or similar customer-facing roles)

• AI enthusiast: you've used Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini for more than a "search," building frameworks and automations between tools

• Interest in candidate experience programs, surveys, or recruiting operations

• Curiosity about agentic automation, CRM re-engagement, or other ways to work smarter

• Experience at or interest in a Seed, Series A, or B startup

What We Offer:

• Ownership and Opportunity for Advancement

• Competitive Salary and Stock Options

• Unlimited PTO: our policy is designed to give you the flexibility to rest, recharge, and take care of personal needs, while staying aligned with your team and responsibilities.

• Medical, dental and vision health insurance

• Fitness Class Reimbursement: we're committed to supporting both employee wellness and our industry relationships. As an Arketa employee we see movement as opportunity.

• Parental Leave Policy

For this role, the estimated annual base salary is $70,000 to $78,000, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to base pay, we offer equity. We believe in compensating fairly and transparently, and we're happy to provide more detail during the interview process.

We actively encourage applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
