What Is Employee Growth Rate & Why Is It Important?
Overview
The tech sector has failed low-income Americans. Technology is generally built by people who have money, for people who have money. That’s because people solve the problems they understand, and with economic inequality only getting worse, most technologists don’t understand the lived experience of those with limited income. At Propel, we’re doing our part to change that. Our first app, Fresh EBT, is used by over 4 million families who get SNAP benefits (also known as food stamps) to manage their benefits, save money, and earn income. Read more about Fresh EBT here, here, and here. Now we’re building a new type of bank account specifically for people living on or near the safety net.
As our first dedicated Recruiter, you’ll help to make sure Propel grows quickly and effectively! In this role, you’ll deep dive to learn everything there is to know about a function (technical and non technical), partner with hiring managers to understand their team needs, and go out into the world to find top talent. Once found, you’ll be the first face of Propel for many new hires, representing our brand, mission, and impact to hundreds of prospective employees. In this role, you’ll also be a champion of DEI initiatives. You’ll ensure our hiring processes are fair and equitable, and play a leading role in making Propel a more diverse and equitable workplace.
