Hi, we’re DuckDuckGo, the Internet privacy company for everyone who wants to take back their privacy now. For over a decade, we've been building our all-in-one product, developing new privacy technology, and working with policymakers to make online privacy simple and accessible for all.

Our app is now downloaded more than 75M times a year, and our private search engine packaged with it has become the #2 search engine on mobile in over 21 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands. Oh, and we've been profitable since 2014 with revenue currently exceeding $100 million a year! Now, we’re rolling out a suite of new privacy solutions, including Email Protection, App Tracking Protection and our first-ever Desktop Apps for Mac and Windows.

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to help shape our all-in-one privacy solution and join our mission to show the world that protecting your privacy online can be simple.

The Opportunity

In this role, you will help us hire the people who will propel DuckDuckGo toward our vision of raising the standard of trust online. As candidates' first point of contact in our hiring process, you'll work to maintain a positive experience for everyone, regardless of whether applicants succeed.

Your primary responsibility will be coordinating the logistics of our hiring process, including responding to prospective candidates, managing job postings on external career sites, scheduling interviews with stakeholders across timezones, assigning test project evaluations to reviewers, and handling payments dispersed upon test project completion.

You'll be in a unique position to identify opportunities to improve hiring at DuckDuckGo, where we recognize that hiring decisions are some of the highest-impact decisions we can make. You'll partner with Recruiters and Hiring Managers as you work to automate processes, reduce bias, and raise the quality of our hires.

What You Will Bring to DuckDuckGo

• 4+ years experience in a Talent Acquisition Coordinator role.
• Ability and willingness to handle multiple complex, repetitive coordination tasks concurrently.
• Thoroughness and attention to detail.
• Exceptional multi-tasking ability.
• Strong communication skills.
• Experience automating and streamlining tasks.

How We Will Support You

Our core values -- build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction -- underpin how we work day-to-day and the support we give our team members. We strive to empower our team members to be self-directed and self-motivated in their work.

1. Remote First, Always: We've always been a fully distributed company with team members all over the world. We trust you to get your work done wherever, and whenever.

Every team member also has a dedicated Career Advisor, who serves as a guide to help you develop your strengths, identify your motivations, and understand your opportunities for growth.
3. Leadership: We have many different types of leaders and possible combinations of leadership roles, so you can grow your career in a way that aligns best with your personal goals. You can seek additional leadership roles by being directly responsible for projects, taking ownership of areas of the company, developing and maintaining internal processes, or pursuing advisory roles.
4. Work/Life Balance: Team members have the freedom and flexibility to organize their own work schedules. We want you to thrive both in and out of the office. We trust you to use good judgment and take the time off that you need to bring your best self to work.

We also offer paid parental leave, a co-working stipend, office setup reimbursement, and a wellness stipend. More support resources can be found in our Team Member Support Guide, which explains how we make your well-being a priority.
