Joshua Ferrier
Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner @ Slate Auto
About
I’m a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Slate Auto, helping build the teams behind Slate’s mission to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable vehicles that people can truly rely on. I primarily support salaried manufacturing roles, while also partnering across the business as needs evolve in a fast-moving startup environment.My work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — building scalable hiring processes, sourcing hard-to-find talent, and working closely with leaders to understand what success looks like beyond a job description. I’m especially energized by roles tied to manufacturing, operations, engineering, and quality, where the right hire has a direct impact on what we build and how we build it.I care deeply about candidate experience and transparency. Recruiting isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about earning trust, setting clear expectations, and connecting people to work that matters. In an environment where timelines are aggressive and expectations are high, I bring structure, clarity, and momentum to the hiring process.At the core, I’m motivated by building teams that align with Slate’s mission and are strong, diverse, and ready to shape the future — not just support it.
