Qualifications

• Has strong judgment and is comfortable making recommendations when the answer isn’t obvious or available in a benchmark.
• Knows how to gather the right information, evaluate it in context, and form an independent point of view.
• Understands that two candidates for the same role may bring very different levels of value to the business.
• Is naturally persuasive and knows how to uncover what matters to someone rather than relying on the most obvious lever.
• Can navigate conversations where the interests of the candidate and the business don’t immediately align.
• Treats company resources as thoughtfully as they would their own and looks for outcomes that are genuinely good for both sides.
• Is resourceful, persistent, and willing to explore multiple paths before concluding that something can’t be done.
• Has the confidence to challenge leadership when their experience or the evidence tells them we should think differently.

Responsibilities

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle, from role intake and sourcing strategy through interviews, offer development, negotiation, and close.
• Partner closely with department leaders to understand what they actually need from a hire, translating business needs into clear candidate profiles and search strategies.
• Build strong candidate pipelines through a mix of inbound recruiting, proactive sourcing, referrals, networking, and direct outreach.
• Identify and engage high-quality passive candidates who may not already be looking for their next opportunity.
• Evaluate candidates beyond their résumé, developing a strong understanding of their capabilities, motivations, potential, and fit for the role.
• Research compensation and talent-market conditions to help leadership make informed decisions about roles, candidates, and offers.
• Develop thoughtful offer strategies that balance candidate motivations, market realities, and the needs of the business.
• Lead candidate conversations throughout the process, building enough trust to understand what matters to each person and what it will take to earn their commitment.
• Partner with hiring leaders to create interview processes that surface meaningful differences between candidates rather than simply confirming baseline qualifications.
• Maintain a high bar for talent while keeping the hiring process efficient, organized, and respectful of the candidate experience.
• Bring leadership insights from the talent market—including when expectations, requirements, compensation, or hiring strategy may need to change.
• Take ownership of difficult searches and creatively explore new approaches when the obvious recruiting channels aren't producing the talent we need.
