Job Description
Position Overview
We are a fractional HR and talent consulting firm that partners with growing businesses to build hiring, onboarding, and retention systems that scale. We work directly with founders and leadership teams to solve high-impact people challenges — from attracting the right talent, to designing effective interview processes, to making confident hiring decisions that drive long-term success. Because we operate on the employer side of hiring every day, we bring real-world insight into how hiring decisions are actually made. Our work is practical, data-driven, and focused on long-term outcomes — not just filling roles. We are currently looking for an experienced Recruiter to support ongoing hiring initiatives across multiple roles and industries.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage end-to-end recruitment for multiple roles (sourcing to offer stage)
- Partner closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements and success profiles
- Source candidates using platforms such as LinkedIn, job boards, and talent databases
- Screen resumes and conduct initial interviews to assess skills, experience, and culture fit
- Coordinate interviews and maintain a positive candidate experience
- Provide insights and recommendations based on market trends and candidate feedback
- Help improve and document hiring processes as needed
Required Qualifications:
- Proven experience as a Recruiter (agency or in-house experience welcome)
- Strong sourcing and screening skills across technical and non-technical roles
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
- Comfortable working with founders, executives, and senior leaders
- Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple roles at once
- Experience using ATS tools and recruiting platforms is a plus
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working with startups or scaling companies
- Familiarity with US hiring practices
- Background in HR, talent consulting, or workforce planning
