The Mission Kong is scaling rapidly. We are building a world-class revenue engine, and to do that, we need a GTM Sourcing Recruiter who doesn't just fill seats but identifies elite talent.

The Role As a GTM Recruiter, you will help own the hiring strategy for some of our most critical roles in the CRO org. You will act as a strategic advisor to our GTM Leaders and you won’t just be passing over resumes; you will be conducting deep-dive competency interviews to ensure every candidate we hire raises the bar.
