What actually happens when you walk into a company that has zero recruiting operations? How do you move a team away from a disorganized “build your own desk” culture and prove the true value of RecOps?In this episode, we dive into the real-world journey of building a recruiting operations function from the ground up. From scaling early-stage startups like Glassdoor and Blend to navigating major enterprises like Madison Square Garden and Lineage, we break down what your first day, first week, and first month should actually look like. Discover why RecOps is much more than just a subset of People Ops, how to advocate for your talent acquisition team so they don’t get deprioritized, and the secret to building instant trust with recruiters from day one. Whether you’re managing a messy ATS migration, implementing new tools, or trying to ensure your leadership isn’t a single point of failure, this episode is your ultimate roadmap.
