Job description

Overview

Who we are:

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.

We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

Your role

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced talent hunter to join our growing team at our headquarters in Vancouver. In this role, you will collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry as they work to develop and promote a world-class product for our customers.

As the Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you play a critical role in shaping how Global Relay attracts, assesses, and hires top talent. You are more than a recruiter—you're a trusted advisor to hiring leaders, a subject matter expert in talent strategy, and a mentor within the Talent Acquisition team. You will take ownership of high-volume, full-cycle recruitment while also leading complex, senior, and niche searches that directly support our continued growth.

Are you up for the challenge?

As an experienced recruiting professional, you recognize that finding the right people is what makes a company great. You are a relationship builder at heart and thrive when partnering closely with hiring managers to understand their business needs and deliver hiring strategies that balance speed, quality, and long-term impact.

You bring a consultative mindset and a strong understanding of sourcing strategies, market dynamics, and recruitment best practices — along with the creativity and persistence required when competing for top talent. You enjoy thinking strategically, building pipelines, solving hiring challenges, and closing candidates in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.

You are proactive, resourceful, tech-savvy, and comfortable thinking outside the box. You enjoy juggling multiple searches simultaneously and take pride in owning your outcomes end-to-end. As a senior member of the global Talent Acquisition team, you value collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and a good sense of humor.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to receive your application!
