Platform Hiring Specialist

The Platform Hiring Team (PHT) is building a centralized, technology-enabled hiring engine for repeatable, scaled hiring roles across supported DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt businesses. You'll join the Platform Hiring Team, PHT's system-facing execution arm. This team owns candidate delivery inside the active hiring platform, today Fountain: reviewing AI-supported recommendations, making the final hiring decision, and moving candidates through to offer at speed and scale.

About the Role

You'll work within Fountain, Greenhouse or future ATS systems completing assigned workflows within agreed service windows and approved productivity standards. You'll review AI-supported recommendations, assess interview content, confirm eligibility and rehire status, and make and document the final human candidate progression decision using approved criteria. You'll complete the approved offer flow and promptly escalte pipeline risks, system defects, scoring anomalies, compliance concerns, and recurring workflow friction to your Team Lead.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will

• Work from shared platform queues and complete assigned workflows within agreed service windows.
• Own assigned candidate cases across application review, candidate contact, interview coordination where required, progression, offer acceptance, system disposition, and accepted-offer handoff.
• Review platform and AI-supported recommendations using approved, job-related criteria.
