About Check
Payroll is broken. Come fix it alongside a team that’s as passionate as you are!
At Check, we’re not just building our own business — we’re building payroll businesses together with every one of our partners. As the inventors of embedded payroll, we’re redefining how people get paid and making it easier for payroll businesses to launch, grow, and thrive.
On our team you'll use creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and grit to simplify the complexity of payroll for thousands of employers of every size, across all industries. We ignore conventional role boundaries in favor of the unique strengths and values each builder brings to our mission: make paying people simple.
Check is far more than just API infrastructure. We’re a springboard for building and scaling payroll businesses.
The People Team
At Check, Talent is our highest investment, and Checketeers are the ultimate driver of our long-term growth and success. The People team is dedicated to bringing together skilled and dedicated individuals that can bring our business vision to life, and to fostering an engaged, high-performing team. We aim to create a diverse and equitable workplace where everyone pitches in to achieve incredible things, and every Checketeer is celebrated, supported, and valued for their contributions.
Check is looking for a Sr. Recruiter to enable our hiring efforts during a critical growth phase, partnering closely with people leaders and interview teams on high-priority roles. This role sits at the center of how we build the company. It requires strong judgment, clear communication, deep ownership, and a genuine love for partnering with hiring managers and candidates alike.
You'll be responsible for bringing exceptional people into Check while building real partnership with hiring managers — shaping roles, calibrating bar, and running rigorous-but-human interview processes. To thrive in this role you must care deeply about candidate experience, hiring quality, and the daily business impact of your work, and you should be excited to be a public-facing partner across the leadership team, not a heads-down operations engine.
As you burn through our high priority reqs, your scope may broaden into deliberate optimization and infrastructure work: interviewer up-skilling, employer branding, debrief and calibration tooling, and hiring manager enablement at scale.
In this role, you will:
Own end-to-end process and pipeline for a load of 5-10 high-priority searches. You’ll build JDs and interview loops with an outcomes-focused mentality, partnering closely with hiring managers to define needs, clarify what great looks like, and engage with top talent to fill those seats.
Be a true partner to hiring teams from day one. You'll shape roles, drive intake conversations that draw out spicy takes, challenge assumptions, and align teams on Check's standards and needs. Stakeholder partnership is the primary mode of operation here, it’s not optional.
Maintain crisp data and process hygiene in Ashby, leveraging the platform's AI-augmented sourcing, search, and pipeline tools to raise visibility, keep pipelines moving smoothly, and amplify your reach and impact. You’ll continually explore new ways to help our team make great hiring decisions quickly, while keeping candidates excited about Check.
Set and maintain a high performance bar for talent while moving fast. You'll keep the big picture in mind, ensuring strong long-term staffing decisions and helping us dodge negotiation traps.
Work in the open. You'll be a public partner to hiring managers and an active voice in our recruiting channels. You stay visible and opinionated to inspire trust and confidence.
Partner closely with the Head of People and Lead Recruiter to build creative and engaging hiring loops, competitive compensation structures, effective training programs, and executive reporting capabilities - you’ll continually raise the visibility of the work you do and maximize its impact on every aspect of the business!
Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have:3+ years of in-house recruiting experience. You might specialize in GTM or technical recruiting, or have broad experience across functions. Whatever the role, you thrive in a fast-paced startup or growth-stage environment.
AI fluency as a core competency — proven ability to leverage AI tools to amplify sourcing, outreach, screening, and decision-making, while applying judgment about where AI helps and where it doesn't. We're hiring people who are strong in their domain and know how to scale that strength through AI.
Fluency with Ashby and LinkedIn Recruiter (or proven ability to ramp quickly on Ashby — we recently migrated and our system is in active use).
Proven ability to own full-cycle recruiting on your reqs — sourcing through coordination, closing, and offer management, with a stakeholder-partnership-first orientation.
Strong sourcing capability, including outbound outreach and pipeline building for hard-to-fill roles.
Clear, direct communication and exceptional storytelling. You're equally adept at influencing senior stakeholders and selling candidates on a vision.
Strong judgment and the ability to maintain a high talent bar under time pressure — there's urgency, and then there's false urgency. You know the difference.
A bias toward visibility — working in the open, speaking up in cross-functional spaces, building hiring-manager confidence through engagement, not invisible reliability.
Comfort with ambiguity — you're comfortable laying the track when the train is already moving, and always helping our team move faster without sacrificing the integrity of our process.
