Job Details This position is remotely based with a strong preference for South Florida based candidates. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role. Talent Acquisition Specialist We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who owns the full recruiting lifecycle, from first conversation to signed offer, across both technical and business functions. This is a high-impact, high-volume role built for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, leverages AI-powered tools to work smarter, and never lets speed come at the cost of quality or candidate experience. Responsibilities You’ll serve as a true talent partner to hiring managers across engineering, product, sales, marketing, finance, and operations, bringing strategic, consultative thinking to every search. You know how to push back when a job description undersells the role, challenge a hiring team when the bar needs recalibrating, and keep searches moving without losing rigor. Qualifications The ideal candidate has operated in both startup and enterprise recruiting environments and knows how to read the room, whether that means building process from scratch or navigating an existing one with finesse. Your Impact In this role, you won't just fill seats. You'll shape how the business grows. Here's what success looks like: You’ll build and maintain strong pipelines for roles across the organization, ensuring hiring managers always have a qualified, engaged slate to work from. You’ll act as a brand ambassador in every candidate interaction, leaving people with a positive impression of who we are, whether they get the job or not. You’ll bring structure and accountability to the hiring process, holding both candidates and internal stakeholders to timelines that keep searches on track. You’ll use data to tell the story of recruiting performance, surfacing insights that help leadership make smarter decisions about headcount, sourcing strategy, and interview process. You’ll be the person who spots a broken process and fixes it, not because someone asked, but because you can’t help it. What You Bring 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in both a corporate/in‑house setting as well as an agency. Proven ability to recruit across both technical roles (engineering, product, data) and business/GTM functions. Experience recruiting at both a startup/high‑growth company and a larger enterprise organization. Demonstrated use of AI tools to improve recruiting workflows — you should be able to speak specifically to what you use and how. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to influence and advise hiring managers at all levels. Comfortable managing a req load of 15–20 simultaneously without compromising candidate quality or experience. Self‑directed, proactive, and capable of thriving with shifting priorities. Recruitment experience working in large, multi‑entity environments. Strong problem‑solving instincts — you don't wait to be asked, you figure it out. Ability to work collaboratively across different business units, hiring managers and cross‑functional partners. Nice‑to‑Have Experience recruiting for SaaS or technology companies. Familiarity with foodservice, hospitality, or supply chain industries. Experience with modern ATS platforms and sourcing tools (DarwinBox, Greenhouse). Exposure to data‑driven recruiting practices, funnel metrics, or recruitment marketing. Located within 50 miles of Lake Worth, FL. Location & Work Model This role is based in South Florida. We prefer candidates who are local and able to come into the office as needed, though we're not requiring a fixed in‑office schedule. What's In This For You Great benefits from day one. We offer medical, dental, vision, FSA, company‑paid life insurance, and more—plus a 401(k) with company match. Grow with us. Enjoy strong training, development, and competitive pay. Work‑life balance. Our flexible PTO policy lets you take time when you need it—no accrual required. EEO Statement We welcome all.
