What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Recruiter position at Polymarket?
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.
