Job Description

HR Recruitment Manager (Volunteer)

Note: The following is an opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment. This is a remote-from-home position.

Are you interested in learning the ins and outs of a nonprofit organization in a challenging, rewarding environment? The nonprofit news organization WhoWhatWhy is seeking an HR Recruitment Manager to help us with some exciting projects for the HR department.

Check out WhoWhatWhy.org. You’ll quickly see that, besides being a nonprofit news organization, we’re a credible solution to the raging debate over whether the news is “fake” or not,” with agenda-free research and publishing bracingly fresh analysis. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking. We just want the truth — whatever it is.

At WhoWhatWhy, we go at each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a willingness to dig deep and ask hard questions — even when we’re told not to. Nothing is going to stand in our way when it comes to discovering what is going on beneath the surface, and why. Call it naive to believe such fearlessness possible, but we think it’s the essence of true journalism.

And because we’re straight to the point, we make clear that we’re looking for volunteers — skilled volunteers. Yes, we’re a nonprofit that wasn’t funded by a zillionaire. Yes, we decline to accept corporate ads. Because of that, we look for volunteers — with the possibility, down the road, of compensation based on proven results.

We are looking for a passionate, high energy individual who is excited about partnering with departments on recruitment needs, implementing processes and managing a team of recruiters. As a startup, we are looking for people who would bring structure and scale to complex growth challenges of a non-profit organization and at the same time willing to roll up the sleeves to get stuff done!

This is an opportunity for you to be part of an organization where you can influence the thinking around our people processes and systems, which results in a direct impact on our employee experience and growth of WhoWhatWhy.

Expectations

You will work remotely and on your own schedule, and we ask for a minimum commitment of 6 months for at least 10-15 hours a week.
