Meet Method
We built Method to propel the next decade of consumer finance. Method’s APIs are redefining financial connectivity with real-time read-write access to consumer liability accounts and bringing consumer finance one step closer to being autonomous.
We are built on the tenets of consumer permissioned data access to enable financial institutions to deliver the most competitive products and seamless experiences to the consumer. We have helped 4+ million users connect 30+ million liability accounts, credential-less, save millions in interest and fees and get access to billions of dollars in personalized loans. We have partnered with 60+ financial institutions - including Robinhood, Bilt Rewards, SoFi, PenFed, Figure, Happy Money and Aven - to deliver frictionless, personalized and engaging user experiences.
We’re a team of 30+ people spread across offices in Austin, Washington D.C., and New York City!

Hi I’m Colin , I lead Talent at Method, and I wrote every word of this job description below.
About the opportunity
This role is the #2 full time recruiting hire that will work with me to build the team that will define Method’s next stage of growth. You’ll operate at the intersection of high autonomy and high visibility, joining us while the org is lean enough to work directly with founders and influence org design, culture, and early talent systems. At just 40 headcount and counting, each hire we make has a significant impact on Method’s trajectory, so our bar for talent is very high. This is a role for someone energized by building from scratch, navigating ambiguity, and applying both recruiting fundamentals and AI-driven workflows to deliver outsized impact.
This role is based out of our NYC office and we have a flexible (but not full-time remote) hybrid policy that typically manifests as 2-4 days/week in office on average where you’ll get to collaborate live and go on caffeine and lunch runs covered by the company.
Who you are and how you’ll add value
We’re looking for someone who can own searches end-to-end, keep pipelines full, and deliver a consistently excellent candidate experience, all while juggling multiple open roles across disciplines. The right person for this role thrives in ambiguity, knows the tech talent market inside-out, and is excited to grind through sourcing and screening to find the very best people.
Some things you may agree with:
You believe the best recruiters aren’t just reactive, they anticipate needs and have pipelines ready before a role is even approved.
You think “candidate experience” is more than a talking point, it’s a competitive edge in closing top talent.
You believe AI can make you a 10x recruiter if embedded into the right workflows.
You know the fundamentals matter: strong process, clear communication, and closing skills separate good recruiters from great ones.
Some expectations about your background:
3+ years in a full cycle recruiting role or adjacent roles like talent sourcing
Experience engaging with the type of talent that receives multiple offers from the most competitive companies in tech
Instinct to identify high potential candidates beyond what is on their resume
Experience in a growth stage startup or recruiting agency (both is even better!)
Creative skills to contribute to employer branding and content creation a plus.
Familiarity with recruiting tools and workflows (e.g., Ashby, Juicebox, Gem,)
Interview Process
Call with me (30min)
Call with our People Lead (30min)
Onsite
presentation of a take-home exercise (45min)
two 1:1s with other hiring managers (30min)
Lunch with some team members (60min)

The annual US base salary range for this role is $115,000 - $140,000 based on experience. We also offer an equity package and have a suite of excellent benefits.
