About the role
ABOUT FUSE
We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Fuse is the first private company building a fusion facility based on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF), an approach proven through a decade of simulation and experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. We are hiring fast across engineering, operations and federal programs in San Leandro, Albuquerque, Washington D.C. and Montreal. This role supports the recruiting team in finding, screening and scheduling candidates, and in making sure every candidate has a fast, well-organized experience with Fuse.
WHAT WE VALUE
Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time.
Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care.
Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does.
Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed.
Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Run first-round candidate screens and write clear, concise summaries.
Source candidates for hard-to-fill technical and leadership roles, build shortlists and run LinkedIn outreach.
Schedule candidate screens, technical interviews, panels and onsite visits across multiple sites and time zones.
Own onsite visits end to end: interviewer invites, agendas, facility access, travel logistics and a strong in-person experience.
Own candidate communication from first outreach to offer: invites, confirmations, reminders, reschedules and follow-ups.
Keep Ashby clean and current: move candidates through stages, log feedback, track open items and flag anything stalled.
Manage job postings on our careers page and job boards and keep them consistent and up to date.
Work with agencies and recruiting partners to track submitted candidates and next steps.
Pull pipeline reports and help improve our recruiting process as we scale.
