With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier™ serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations. About the role We’re looking for a skilled and mission-driven Operations Recruiter to join our Fleet Operations team and help scale Gatik’s Autonomous Vehicle Operator (AVO) workforce.

You will collaborate closely with Fleet Operations, Talent Acquisition, and third-party vendors to attract, assess, and hire top-tier candidates who meet both regulatory and company standards. This is a high-impact role, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and is passionate about operational excellence and talent delivery. This role is onsite/hybrid/remote at our Mountain View, CA office! What you'll do Own and manage full-cycle recruiting for Autonomous Vehicle Operators (AVOs), from sourcing and screening to offer and onboarding. Partner with Fleet Operations and external vendors to meet hiring goals and timelines. Pre-screen candidates to ensure compliance with FMCSA and DOT regulations. Promote the benefits of joining Gatik’s AVO program to potential candidates via calls, outreach, and relationship building. Process and track candidates through the Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Coordinate background checks, MVR reviews, drug screens, DOT physicals, and other compliance-related evaluations. Oversee logistics for candidate interviews, onboarding, orientation, and road tests. Analyze data to refine and optimize the recruiting and interview process. Collaborate with vendors on sourcing strategy, pipeline development, and process improvement. Support onboarding of contract hires, including Day 1 logistics. Serve as a brand ambassador, promoting Gatik’s mission, values, and culture.

What we're looking for 3+ years of experience in high-volume recruiting, ideally within transportation, logistics, or fleet operations. Strong understanding of DOT and FMCSA compliance requirements. Proven success managing multiple requisitions and meeting aggressive hiring targets. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills with a consultative, relationship-first approach. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and self-motivated, with a strong sense of ownership. Experience working with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, or similar). Prior experience supporting both direct and contract hiring preferred. BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience. Start-up or scaling environment experience is a plus. Salary Range - $40/hr - $65/hr More about Gatik Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability. We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
