Success in This Role

Success in this role means becoming a trusted recruiting partner while consistently delivering high‑quality talent, building proactive pipelines, and improving recruiting effectiveness across the organization. Strong performance includes building proactive talent pipelines, influencing hiring decisions, maintaining momentum on difficult searches, and continuously improving recruiting strategies, processes, and candidate experiences.

Who We’re Looking For

• Takes ownership, creates momentum, and follows through with urgency and attention to detail
• Communicates confidently and builds strong relationships
• Is organized, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize quality of hire, long‑term fit, and strong hiring outcomes over transactional recruiting metrics

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience preferred
• Experience sourcing and recruiting for professional and hard-to-fill roles, including proactively engaging passive candidates through networking, outreach, and creative recruiting strategies
• Strong communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills with the ability to confidently challenge assumptions and guide hiring decisions
• Experience using ATS systems and recruiting tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter
• Ability to manage multiple openings and priorities simultaneously
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
