About the role
- Position: Junior Educator Recruitment Associate Location: Minneapolis, hybrid Salary: USD: 44,400 OTE; 40,500 base, 3,900 VP About Zen Educate We’re Zen Educate - a fast-growing EdTech company on a mission to make education fairer for everyone. Right now, schools in the US waste over $2 billion every year on traditional agency fees -money that should be going directly to classrooms and educators. We’re here to change that. The Role As a Junior Educator Recruitment Associate, you’ll be on the front lines of our hiring process -connecting talented paraprofessionals and substitute teachers with schools that need them. You’ll work closely with our experienced recruitment team, learning how to screen applications, conduct interviews, and match educators to roles where they can have the biggest impact. This role is a great way to build skills in recruitment, sales, communication, and collaboration - all while working with a high-energy team in a rapidly scaling tech company that’s making a real difference in education. Our team works on a hybrid model, with 3 days per week WFH and 2 days in-office in each of our hub cities (Vancouver, Minneapolis and Chicago). What You’ll Do Qualify and interview applicants: Call educators as they sign up for Zen Educate, assess their experience and preferences, and schedule them for interviews when they meet our criteria. Conduct initial phone interviews to understand their background and match them to suitable roles before handing them off to recruiters. Build value and excitement: Share Zen Educate’s mission and explain how we can help them find the perfect position. Collaborate with the team: Work with recruiters to transition candidates smoothly through screening, document collection, and onboarding. Make an impact: Help place amazing educators into classrooms, filling critical staffing needs in schools across the US. Test and innovate: Experiment with new tools and systems - including AI technologies - to improve the way we recruit. Think like an owner: Contribute ideas, take initiative, and learn what it’s like to grow a mission-driven tech startup from the ground up. What We’re Looking For You love connecting with people and thrive in a high-energy, high-call-volume environment. You’re curious and eager to learn about sales, recruitment, education, and technology. You’re a strong collaborator who communicates well and works effectively with others. You’re resilient and proactive, comfortable adapting to the challenges of a fast-paced startup. You’re goal-oriented and a bit competitive, and feel motivated by hitting (and beating) targets. You’re tech-savvy and excited to try new tools. Above all, you’re mission-driven and care about helping educators make a difference in students’ lives.
