Dear Emily Thompson,
Growing up, I was the kid who could strike up a conversation with anyone—the grocery store cashier, the new kid in class, even my dentist. My mom always joked that I had a "future in sales." But as I got older, I realized that my real passion wasn't just talking to people, but understanding them—their stories, their strengths, what makes them tick.
That's what drew me to recruiting, and it's what excites me about the opportunity to join the team at Squarespace as a Recruiter.
In my current role at RW Recruiting Firm, I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 companies.
I've learned how to tailor my approach to each unique hiring need, whether I'm sourcing hard-to-find skill sets, assessing cultural fit, or coaching candidates through the offer process. In one recent search for a client in the financial services industry, I filled a critical role that had been open for over six months—and the candidate I placed was promoted within her first year.
But what I love most about recruiting is the opportunity to make a real impact on people's lives.
I'll never forget the candidate who teared up when I called to tell her she'd gotten her dream job, or the hiring manager who thanked me for finding the "unicorn" candidate they thought didn't exist. These are the moments that fuel my passion for this work.
I've long admired Squarespace's commitment to empowering individuals and small businesses to build a beautiful online presence. As a Squarespace customer myself, I know firsthand the difference that an intuitive, well-designed platform can make. I would be thrilled to join a company that's not only changing the game in website design, but doing so with creativity, integrity, and a genuine dedication to its customers.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to Squarespace's continued success.
Best,
[Your Name]
