Who We Are

At Workmate Labs, we're building AI teammates and redefining the future of work. Today, knowledge workers spend as much time on administrative work as they do on their actual jobs. Our first Workmate is an AI Executive Assistant designed to address this universal challenge. By making human-level admin support 50x-100x cheaper and more accessible, we free people to focus on what matters most.

We are building a high-craft, AI-first product. We take problems that have historically had human solutions and use a first principles approach to solving them with AI. This involves thinking deeply about human behavior, psychology, and interaction as well as state-of-the-art developments in AI.

We enjoy working with incredibly smart, driven people. We demand a high bar for talent and want to work with people who raise that bar. This also applies to our partners, and we are fortunate to be backed by many of the best investors in the world (Seed raised in 2024).

What You’ll Do

You will play a crucial role in shaping our future by attracting, cultivating, and hiring top talent in our technical organization (engineering & ML). We will depend on your expertise, judgment, and problem-solving abilities to drive the full-cycle recruitment process and set the pace to meet our hiring goals.

You will be responsible for standing up our technical recruiting process and implementing it in our ATS (Ashby). You will implement effective systems that create an awesome candidate experience and ensure we adhere to them, while not overburdening our small team.

Your role will be pivotal in defining the talent landscape, providing insights on market trends, and building a robust pipeline of high-caliber candidates. You will source applicants, screen resumes, interview, and assess candidates to provide qualified candidates to hiring managers.

You will foster relationships with past applicants and potential candidates to build networks, creating a rich talent pool for future needs. Finally, you will help manage relationships with search firms/agencies to drive timely and thorough sourcing of high-quality candidates.
