Senior Recruiter

Job Description

Our mission is to rebuild American communities through healthy, affordable homes.

At Zero Homes, we operate on a simple premise: when you make contractors successful, homeowners win. The current home services industry is fragmented, complex, and opaque, which is frustrating for homeowners and exhausting for contractors. We are changing this by building a home upgrade marketplace that enables a simple, central, transparent process for homeowners and contractors to complete projects.

Through our platform we handle design, quoting, procurement, and customer service, allowing our contractor network to focus on what they do best and make them money: delivering projects. For homeowners, this delivers a predictable, high-quality, and transparent experience-transforming home upgrades from a source of anxiety into a seamless experience. Our vision is to create a world where homeowners and contractors in all 50 states can leverage our platform to execute thousands of projects every week within the next 36 months.

We work by a clear set of values:

• Be a "can kid," not a "can't kid": We own our outcomes and go to extraordinary lengths to solve problems.
• Go fast, be clear: Speed is our advantage, and we sweat the details to deliver an extraordinary customer experience.
• Customer & Contractor Obsessed: We have a deep, personal understanding of the work to be done. We stay curious about our contractors' craft and the stories of our homeowners.
• Win, as a team: We are building an iconic business that will reinvent the industry, and will do so together.

If you are ready to build a world-class consumer experience that genuinely rebuilds American communities, come build with us.

The Role

We are looking for a high-horsepower, Senior Recruiter to help accelerate our team's growth. This is not a "behind the scenes" HR role; you are the frontline representative of Zero Homes in the Denver ecosystem and the operational owner of our talent machine.

You will help drive the entire candidate lifecycle-from the first "hello" at a Denver Startup Week event to the moment a new hire signs their offer letter. You will act as a Strategic Advisor to our CEO and Leadership team, helping us move from reactive hiring to a data-driven capacity model as we scale to 55+ people.

What You'll Do

• Full-Cycle Execution: Manage end-to-end recruitment for Technical (Software/Eng), General (Sales/Growth), and Ops (Field/Trade) roles.
• Calibration & Benchmarking: Partner with Leadership to build and maintain our internal compensation and equity bands using real-time Denver market data.
• Denver Brand Building: Represent Zero Homes at local career fairs, university events (Mines, CU, CSU), and trade schools. You aren't just posting jobs; you're on the ground at RiNo meetups and industry mixers building a "warm" talent pipeline.
• In-House Community Hosting: Turn our HQ into a hub for Denver's climate-tech community. You will lead the strategy and execution for in-house meetups and networking mixers designed to get high-quality local talent through our doors before they even apply.
• Scaling Metrics: Track and report on the metrics that matter: Pipeline Velocity, Offer Acceptance Rate, Referral %, and Time-to-Productivity.
• Candidate Experience: Ensure every candidate-whether hired or not-leaves with a strong impression of Zero Homes.

Who You Are

• Self-Driven Architect: You have a massive sense of ownership. If the process is broken, you don't just fix it-you build a system so it never happens again.
• Master Communicator: You can pivot easily between a technical deep-dive with a Senior Engineer and a pragmatic conversation with a Field Operations Lead.
• Data-Forward: You thrive on "Organized Chaos" but solve it with data. You prefer capacity models and trigger-based hiring over "gut-feel" recruiting.
• Mission-Aligned: You have a genuine interest in heat pumps, renewable energy, and decarbonization.
• Denver Local: You live within 40 miles of Denver, CO, and are ready to be a presence at our 31st St HQ and local community events.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (Internal experience in a high-growth startup is highly preferred).
• Track Record: Proven ability to source for diverse roles, from Software Engineers to Field Technicians and Project Managers.
• Tooling Expert: High proficiency with modern ATS platforms (Ashby, Lever, or Greenhouse), G-Suite automation, and equity management tools (Carta).
• Drive: High energy, relentless follow-through, and a "Bar-Raiser" mentality.
