About the Company

Our client is an established, high-growth offshore professional services and legal organization focused on connecting North American law firms with top-tier international talent.

The organization combines specialized legal solutions with modern operational frameworks to support continued global expansion, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

They are looking for a highly structured, performance-oriented Recruiting Director who can independently lead internal talent acquisition, optimize global sourcing funnels, enforce screening rigor, and maintain fast placement velocity.

This is an execution-heavy recruitment leadership role for someone who enjoys being close to sourcing mechanics, building efficient screening pipelines, holding recruiters accountable to metrics, and delivering top-tier candidate shortlists.

This is not a generalist HR role. The successful candidate will be expected to oversee full-lifecycle recruitment operations across international hubs (South Africa, LATAM, Philippines), managing everything from sourcing strategy and candidate vetting to ATS hygiene, recruiter capacity, and delivery SLAs.

Role Overview

The Recruiting Director will lead and scale the internal talent acquisition department.

Approximately 80% of the role will focus on direct recruitment execution, team management, pipeline auditing, and sourcing optimization, with approximately 20% focused on recruitment analytics, ATS management, process documentation, and capacity planning.

The ideal candidate can analyze candidate funnels, identify bottlenecks in sourcing or screening, and implement operational solutions to keep time-to-fill low and candidate quality high.

This includes:

• Managing and coaching a team of international recruiters across multiple regions
• Overseeing sourcing strategy and talent pipelines across LinkedIn Recruiter, P-Net, and regional job boards
• Establishing and enforcing recruiter activity targets, submission quotas, and turnaround SLAs
• Auditing candidate vetting, screening scripts, assessment proctoring, and dossier quality
• Maintaining ATS data integrity and analyzing recruitment funnel metrics
