Job description

THE ROLE

Vox Media is looking for a Senior Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for editorial (New York Magazine & Vox), podcast (Vox Media Podcast Network), revenue, and operations roles across the company.

This is a role for someone who has run full-cycle recruiting before, is comfortable being a trusted advisor to hiring managers (including senior ones), and genuinely enjoys the craft of matching talented people to the right opportunity, especially in a media environment where roles and needs can shift quickly.

Candidates should be fans of New York Magazine, Vox, and our podcast network.

This is a permanent, full-time position. This job is benefits-eligible. We pride ourselves in providing comprehensive benefits to support all of our employees wherever they are in life.

This job is located in our New York City office.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage full-cycle recruiting — intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer, and close — for a portfolio of roles spanning editorial, podcast/audio, revenue, and operations functions.

• Partner with hiring managers and senior leaders to scope open roles, build hiring plans, and act as a strategic advisor throughout the search.

• Build and maintain proactive, representative talent pipelines through sourcing, referrals, and passive-candidate outreach, rather than relying solely on inbound applications.

• Deliver a high-touch candidate experience that reflects well on Vox Media — timely communication, clear expectations, and thoughtful follow-through.

• Structure and run consistent, bias-aware interview processes, including writing job scorecards and coaching interviewers on effective, legally sound interviewing.

• Manage multiple concurrent searches with competing timelines, keeping hiring managers and candidates aligned without dropping the details.

• Own offer strategy and negotiation in partnership with People leadership, balancing candidate expectations with internal equity and approved compensation bands.

• Track and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and other recruiting metrics, and use that data to flag risks and recommend adjustments.

• Stay current on the media, journalism, and podcasting talent landscape, and bring market insight back to hiring teams.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• A passion for the art of talent acquisition — aka you love what you do.

• You're a genuine fan of our brands and shows — and you actually consume them.

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (strong preference for in-house) — you have a strong track record for closing candidates.

  • Specifically, experience recruiting editorial, creative, and audio/podcast talent.

• You strive for a positive candidate experience — each open role builds on your ability to grow the talent network.

• Strong sourcing skills — you don't wait for the perfect candidate to apply; you go find them.

• Stakeholder managementis second nature for you — you feel confident advising and pushing back constructively on hiring managers, including senior leaders.

• You know that diverse slates alone don't move the needle — you build hiring processes that are equitable by design, from first outreach to final offer.

• Excellent organizational skills — you can run a busy, varied req load without letting candidates or hiring managers fall through the cracks.

• Systems expertise — you feel comfortable managing an ATS and partnering with the Head of People to build recruiting process.

• Clear, warm, and timely communication — you represent Vox Media to every candidate you talk to, whether they're hired or not.
