Senior Recruiter

About Polymarket

Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized “house,” Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.

We’re growing fast — in both volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media, and customer experience is a core lever in getting there.

About the Role

We're looking for a sharp, execution-focused Recruiter to help us scale the team behind the world's largest prediction market. This is a high-impact, full-cycle role where you'll own hiring across technical and business functions from sourcing to close.

You'll work directly with hiring managers and senior leadership to build pipelines, run structured interviews, and bring in exceptional people quickly.

• Run structured, high-signal interview processes from initial screen through offer
• Maintain strong candidate experience while operating with urgency and precision
• Drive offer processes, including compensation alignment and closing strategy
• Track pipeline health and ensure accurate data in Ashby
• Identify process inefficiencies and improve how we hire over time

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of recruiting experience (in-house, agency, or both)
• Proven ability to close high-quality candidates in competitive markets
• Strong sourcing and talent mapping skills
• High judgment — able to quickly identify signal vs noise in candidates
• Clear and concise communicator across candidates and internal stakeholders
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Experience working directly with hiring managers or senior leadership
• High ownership mindset and attention to detail
• Experience at a startup or high-growth company (a plus)
• Familiarity with Ashby or modern ATS tools (a plus)
• Interest in crypto, markets, or fintech (a plus)

Benefits
