About Fathom

We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes as a primary means of remembering and sharing insights from video calls.

Notes are time consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🥇 #1 Highest Satisfaction Product of 2024 on G2

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 2,200+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

🚀 Most installed AI meeting assistant on both the Zoom and HubSpot marketplaces

📈 We’re hitting usage and revenue records every week

🚀 ABOUT FATHOM

We think it’s broken that so many people and businesses rely on notes to remember and share insights from their meetings.

Notes are time-consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🥇 #1 Highest Satisfaction Product of 2024 on G2

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 4,500+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

We're growing incredibly quickly, so we're looking to grow our small but mighty team.

🔥 WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

  • Opportunity for impact. We’re established enough to ship instead of fighting fires and early enough that your work will have a real impact.
  • Opportunity for learning.
  • Startup experience.
  • We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom)

ROLE OVERVIEW

Fathom is hiring a motivated, experienced Technical Recruiter to help us scale our team. As one of the founding recruiters at Fathom, you’ll own every aspect of your roles, and have a critical role in building recruiting programs.

You'll partner closely with hiring managers and our leadership team to drive outcomes—not just activity. We’re looking for a proven track record of finding and closing top talent, the ability to build trusting relationships quickly, and exceptional communication skills. We need someone who aligns with our values; highly collaborative, strong work ethic, low ego, and an ownership mentality.

Fathom is growing quickly, and while our most pressing need is for a technical recruiter adept at identifying and engaging strong engineers, we expect there will also be a need for this person to flex into building other parts of the business; Go-To-Market, Operations, Customer Success and more.

HOW YOU’LL HELP US WIN

Our team is the reason Fathom has seen such success so far, and as one of our founding recruiters, you’ll play a huge role in growing that team. From day one, you’ll own searches end-to-end—driving both strategy and execution.

You’ll also play a key role in helping us level up how we hire: from refining our sourcing and interview strategies to contributing to the systems, tools, and processes that will support future growth.

If you thrive in an ever changing environment, enjoy building processes, and want to help create a highly effective recruiting machine that consistently identifies and closes the best talent, we’d love to talk.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience in high-bar, high-growth tech environments
  • Success with top-of-funnel ownership—either as a dedicated sourcer or full-cycle recruiter who fills their own pipeline
  • Skilled in crafting a compelling narrative and strategic closing
  • Strong attention to detail: able to manage process, scheduling, and candidate communication solo, without coordinator support (for now)
  • Fluent in using pipeline metrics to prioritize time and identify issues
  • Bonus: Experience in non-technical recruiting, employer branding, and/or building recruiting infrastructure
  • Thrives in low-structure startup environments, building as you go
  • Candidate-centric approach, balancing empathy with pragmatism
  • Collaborative partner to hiring managers—able to provide effective coaching and strategic support

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

  • A fully remote team that values outcomes, not face-time
  • Opportunity for deep, impactful partnership with leadership
  • Chance to build from the ground up and shape Fathom’s recruiting function
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • A supportive environment that encourages innovation and personal growth
  • You’ll recruit for a team that is deeply technical, low-ego, and ambitious.

ABOUT THE INTERVIEW

  • You’ll meet a significant cross-section of our team. We think it’s important that you get to meet most of the team you’ll be working with.
  • We’re going to ask you to showcase your skills by pitching Fathom based on the information you gather talking with everyone. Ask a lot of questions!
  • Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than 2 weeks from start to finish.
Technology

We use all of the following to power the Fathom app. If you're an engineer, knowledge of these would be helpful but you need not be familiar with all of them. If you're not an engineer, you can ignore this :)

GKE, S3, Ruby/Rails/Sidekiq, Go, Electron, Typescript/TSX, Stencil, Elasticsearch, C++, Kafka, MySQL, Redis, Pusher, GitHub Actions, Docker, ArgoCD, CircleCI
