Our client, a growing financial services company, is looking for a dedicated contract Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruiting primarily focused on financial services roles as the organization scales. This is a hands-on, high-volume recruiting seat for someone who can move quickly, build strong pipelines, and partner closely with hiring managers across finance, accounting, risk, and operations during a period of active growth.
This position is hybrid in the Buckhead/Sandy Springs area and will be a 3-6 month contract engagement.
What You'll Do
- Own the full recruiting lifecycle, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing, for a portfolio of open requisitions concentrated in financial services roles.
- Partner closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements, team dynamics, and must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications before sourcing begins.
- Manage a steady requisition load independently, prioritizing across multiple open roles in a fast-paced, growing environment.
- Proactively source passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, networking, referrals, and financial services industry associations.
- Build and maintain talent pipelines for roles such as financial analysts, accountants, controllers, FP&A, treasury, audit, risk and compliance, and relationship management/banking operations positions.
- Develop a strong understanding of the financial services talent market, compensation benchmarks, candidate availability, and competitive positioning, to advise hiring managers credibly.
Candidate & Stakeholder Experience
- Deliver a consistently strong candidate experience from first outreach through offer, representing the client's brand professionally throughout.
- Keep hiring managers informed with regular pipeline updates, interview feedback loops, and realistic timeline expectations.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in the ATS, ensuring clean reporting and compliance documentation throughout the process.
Compliance & Process
- Ensure all recruiting activity aligns with employment law and the client's hiring policies, including any financial services-specific screening or background check requirements (e.g., credit checks, regulatory licensing verification) where applicable to the role.
- Provide regular recruiting metrics and pipeline reporting to leadership (time to fill, source of hire, pipeline health, etc.).
What You Bring
- 3-5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful experience recruiting for financial services roles specifically.
- Proven ability to independently manage a multi-requisition pipeline in a fast-moving, growth-stage environment.
- Strong sourcing skills, including LinkedIn Recruiter and Boolean search.
- Experience with an ATS (Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, or similar).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, comfortable advising hiring managers on market realities and candidate expectations.
Preferred:
- In-house/corporate recruiting experience at a bank, fintech, insurance company, or other financial services organization.
- Familiarity with financial services-specific compliance, licensing, or background check requirements.
- Experience recruiting across a range of financial services functions (accounting/finance, risk/compliance, banking operations, wealth management, etc.) rather than a single narrow specialty.
