Recruiting & People Operations Associate

About Treeswift

In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.

We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.

Our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.

To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.

We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Our growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.

The Position:

Treeswift is looking for a Recruiting & People Operations Associate to support our hiring efforts and help build a strong foundation for our People Operations function as we continue to grow.

In this role, you'll work closely with our recruiting team, hiring managers, and employees to support both the recruiting process and day-to-day People Operations. You'll help coordinate interviews, manage candidate communication, support employee onboarding, and keep our people processes organized and running smoothly.

We're looking for someone who is exceptionally detail-oriented, communicates well, and thrives in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment. You'll take ownership of key recruiting and people operations workflows while helping identify opportunities to improve how we work.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys the operational side of recruiting, cares deeply about candidate and employee experience, and is excited to help build and scale People processes as the company grows.

You'll be a key member of the People Operations team, working across recruiting and broader employee operations.

What You'll Do:

Recruiting Operations

• Own interview scheduling and coordination across multiple roles and hiring teams, including virtual and in-person interviews across our three different office locations.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for candidates throughout the interview process, ensuring timely communication and a positive candidate experience.

• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to manage competing priorities, anticipate scheduling needs, and keep searches moving forward.

• Coordinate interview logistics, ensuring candidates and interviewers are prepared and have the information they need.

• Support day-to-day recruiting operations in Ashby (our ATS), including managing job postings, maintaining accurate candidate records and keeping hiring workflows up to date.

• Identify opportunities to improve recruiting workflows and help build more efficient processes as we scale.

• Help strengthen our candidate experience and employer brand through thoughtful, consistent communication.

• Support sourcing efforts as needed, including candidate outreach and pipeline management.

• Proactively flag opportunities, suggest improvements, and take ownership of resolving them.

People Operations & Employee Experience

• Support the employee onboarding process, including coordinating new hire logistics, preparing onboarding materials, and helping ensure a smooth transition from candidate to employee alongside HR.

• Partner with the People Ops and Recruiting team to coordinate employee lifecycle activities, including onboarding, employee changes, and offboarding.

• Help build and maintain People Operations documentation, internal resources, and processes as the company scales.

• Identify opportunities to improve internal workflows and create a more organized, consistent employee experience.

• Support additional recruiting and People Operations projects as needed.

Who You Are:

• You have 1–3+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, recruiting operations, sourcing, or people operations at an early-stage or high-growth company.

• You're exceptionally organized and detail-oriented. You catch the small things, keep track of moving pieces, and take pride in getting things right.

• You're a strong communicator. You know how to work with different stakeholders, keep people informed, and build good relationships across a team.

• You're comfortable in a fast-paced environment where priorities change and processes aren't always fully built out.

• You're excited about working across both recruiting and People Operations and helping create a great experience for candidates and employees.

• You look for ways to make things better. You're not afraid to suggest a new approach or take ownership of improving an existing process.

• You're proactive and reliable. When you own something, people can count on you to follow through.

• You're comfortable working in an ATS (we use Ashby!) and understand the importance of maintaining accurate recruiting data.

• You're based in NYC and comfortable being in the office regularly.
