Recruitment Coordinator
Monumental is automating on-site construction with cutting-edge robotics and software. Our mission is to redefine construction through software and robots. We aim for a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labor.
Our company is on a real rocket ship trajectory, with extremely strong customer demand forcing us to scale the team as fast as we can today. We’ve proven that our technology and operational model works in the Netherlands, and are ready to scale as fast as we can in the UK.
We’re a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians, coming from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and 1X. It’s still the early days of building the company, and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth, high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1, you’ll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

About you and this role
We’re looking for a highly organised Recruitment Coordinator - detail-oriented, structured, and systems-minded - who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You will play a key role in scaling our team and building our recruitment and operations function. You’ll be the go-to person for hiring systems, coordinating interviews, improving candidate experience and onboarding new hires.
You’ll manage our applicant pipeline and align our hiring team. Above all, you’ll dive headfirst into the messy, ambitious process of scaling up. You’ll be responsible for everything from optimising our interview schedule to coordinating special projects to improve candidate experience. Like other startups, you’ll schedule interviews. Unlike other startups, you’ll also be asking candidates’ shoe sizes to ensure they have the right footwear to safely visit construction sites.
You’ll be at the heart of our talent engine, ensuring Monumental operates smoothly. You love making complex things run smoothly - Tetris was probably your favourite game growing up. This role is perfect for someone who’s a natural organiser and systems thinker, spots inefficiencies others miss, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves when things get messy.
What you'll be responsible for
ATS ownership: be our sysadmin — pipeline hygiene, reporting accuracy and implementing automations and new tooling
Scheduling engine: end-to-end scheduling for interviews, on-sites, onboarding, and hiring syncs
Inbound ownership: manage applicants and run end-to-end recruiting for roles that need accelerating
Owning candidate experience: communication, preparation, and ensuring fast feedback loops
Arranging site visits: logistics, access, safety gear, and making visits frictionless
Special projects: organising special projects like recruitment events and running social media ad campaigns
Supporting recruitment planning, interview scheduling, and onboarding new hires
Owning inbound applications and end-to-end hiring for a range of novel roles
What we’re looking for
Experience in a coordination, recruiting, people ops, or operations role or internship—ideally in a startup, scale-up, agency, or VC-backed company
Fluent in English, Dutch in a nice to have
Proactive and energetic: you take initiative and solve problems quickly
Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail; you are the go to person in your team for proofreading important materials
Data integrity and confidentiality—you are discrete, and experienced with preparing sensitive documents
Resourceful and persistent—you know how to unblock yourself and others
Tech-savvy and fast to adopt new systems (experience with Ashby ATS or Metaview is a bonus)
High empathy and action bias—you spot what needs doing and make it happen
Comfortable context-switching and juggling multiple priorities throughout the day
Strong communicator—you close loops, follow up, and over-communicate when needed
Legal, compliance or people operations background is a nice to have.
