Senior Software Engineer

The Mission
Guide’s mission is to help people find work they love. We envision a future where job candidates receive a personal concierge-like experience with each company they interview with, along with a transparent look at what life as an employee there is actually like.

Today, Guide is the “Scheduling Ops” platform that helps talent teams hire faster by freeing up their time from manual interview scheduling, logistics and recruiting coordination work. Guide streamlines the interview coordination process by leveraging automation to find the right interviewers and times, and delivering personalized information to each candidate throughout the interview process. This enables talent teams to rescue up to 30% of their time and hire faster, while delivering a hyper-personalized candidate experience at scale.

The Team
We're a team of experienced operators who love to infuse personality into our work. We believe in seeking truth over comfort, results over drama, team wins over individual wins, and operating with extreme transparency and heart. We believe life's too short for boring work. We're founded by the team behind Resource.io, and as our second recruiting software startup together, everything we do at Guide is designed to be different (and fun).
