Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Recruiter to join our team! We’re a small, fast-moving group that partners with folks across the organization to attract and hire exceptional people who are motivated by meaningful, mission-driven work. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for someone who loves finding and engaging top talent, builds strong relationships with hiring managers to deeply understand what each role truly needs, and is committed to delivering a thoughtful, supportive candidate experience from first conversation to offer.
Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by improving outcomes for people in the criminal justice system. We build technology to reduce the number of people in prison and to help criminal justice leaders embrace data-driven decision-making.
Using software tools and thoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with leaders of the criminal justice system, people in prison and on supervision, and ecosystem partners to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from state partners, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations support our work.
People who succeed at Recidiviz lead with kindness and humility, assume good intent, learn from failure, and fix problems when they see them. They are excited to work arm in arm with government leadership and staff to improve outcomes. They are great listeners. They build deep relationships with and empathy for the people we work with and the people who our mission serves, even when those two groups feel at odds.
As a Recruiter at Recidiviz, you’ll be in charge of reviewing, screening, and advancing a high volume of inbound applications across a range of roles (technical and non-technical), in addition to some candidate sourcing through various outbound platforms. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand what success looks like for each role and apply strong judgment to identify candidates who are most likely to thrive. Throughout the process, you’ll ensure candidates experience Recidiviz as a thoughtful, values-driven, and well-run organization, regardless of outcome.
Here are a few things you might accomplish in your first year at Recidiviz that would demonstrate wild success in this role:
Compensation is standardized based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. As such, we do not negotiate compensation offers.
The annual compensation for this role is: $102,000.
Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we’ve built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator’s 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.
Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) over 20 state partners - big and small, red and blue - and touches over 46% of the country’s incarcerated population. We have helped to get hundreds of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners – from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.

Lasting change is always built on diversity. Recidiviz recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, ancestry, citizenship, marital status, gender identity and all protected status as required by applicable law. We consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. If you have a special need that requires accommodation, please let us know in your application. Even if you don't think you meet all the criteria above, drop your resume, and we'll take a look – you might be great for another role or another time!
