About Polymarket
Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized “house,” Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.
We’re growing fast — in both volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media, and customer experience is a core lever in getting there.
About the Role
We're looking for a sharp, execution-focused Recruiter to help us scale the team behind the world's largest prediction market. This is a high-impact, full-cycle role where you'll own hiring across technical and business functions from sourcing to close.
You'll work directly with hiring managers and senior leadership to build pipelines, run structured interviews, and bring in exceptional people quickly. At Polymarket, recruiting isn't a support function - it's a strategic lever, and you'll be expected to operate with the urgency, judgment, and ownership that reflects that.

Build and manage high-quality candidate pipelines through proactive sourcing and outreach
Run structured, high-signal interview processes from initial screen through offer
Maintain strong candidate experience while operating with urgency and precision
Drive offer processes, including compensation alignment and closing strategy
Track pipeline health and ensure accurate data in Ashby

What we're looking for
5+ years of recruiting experience (in-house, agency, or both)
Proven ability to close high-quality candidates in competitive markets
Strong sourcing and talent mapping skills
High judgment — able to quickly identify signal vs noise in candidates
Clear and concise communicator across candidates and internal stakeholders
Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Experience working directly with hiring managers or senior leadership
