About Tailor Tailor is pioneering Headless ERP technology – a new way for growing companies to design internal workflows that fit their business, not the other way around. Our platform combines the flexibility of modern developer tools with the power of enterprise-grade operations.
We're helping multi-channel retailers, manufacturers, and B2B businesses replace rigid systems with adaptive, composable infrastructure. If you care about solving complex real-world problems and building products that scale from first principles, you'll fit right in.
Lastly, we're a Y-Combinator backed startup and have recently closed our $37M USD Series A to accelerate the future of composable ERP.
The Role We're looking for a part-time, contract-based Recruiting Operations Manager to own the screening and early-stage hiring workflow at Tailor.
This role is critical to maintaining a high-quality, respectful candidate experience while enabling our hiring managers to stay focused on later-stage evaluation and decision-making.

This is a strictly part-time role (3 hours per day, 5 days per week) and is designed for an experienced recruiter who can operate independently, asynchronously, and with strong judgment.
You'll work closely with founders and hiring managers in a fast-moving, YC-backed environment, supporting hiring across multiple functions and geographies.

Identify operational gaps or friction in the recruiting process and proactively suggest improvements
Help maintain a strong, YC-caliber hiring bar while balancing speed and candidate experience
Who you are 7+ years of recruiting experience, with strong exposure to early-stage or high-growth startups
Deep experience running screening and early-stage hiring processes independently
Hands-on experience with Ashby ATS (required)
Prior experience recruiting for or within a Y Combinator–backed company (required)
Strong judgment in evaluating candidates quickly and accurately at the resume and screen stage
Highly organized and detail-oriented; you don't drop balls in scheduling or candidate follow-ups
