About the company
- Blockit is a Sequoia-backed AI scheduling agent.
- We learn your preferences on the fly and autonomously coordinate calendars to any degree of complexity — timezones, group scheduling, IRL, etc. Blockit is like having an executive assistant who never sleeps and responds instantly.
- We're a small team serving thousands of users. All customers have come inbound: people encounter Blockit in email or Slack threads, adopt it, and spread it to their teams. We're keeping the team tight — but hiring a few exceptional people as we scale.
Responsibilities
- Partner with engineering leads to define roles and nail down what great looks like for each hire
- Source candidates directly — deploying creative strategies to find technical talent that's hard to reach
- Run a rigorous interview process that sharply assesses skill, drive, and fit
- Own the candidate lifecycle from first screen to signed offer — including complex negotiations
- Manage external recruiting partners and hold them to our standards
- Use data to find bottlenecks and continuously improve our hiring funnel
- Ensure every candidate — hired or not — walks away with a great impression of Blockit

- You're an owner — autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable with ambiguity
- You're organized, thoughtful, and kind
