This role requires a proactive partner who can drive key hires—focusing heavily on sales, technical, and developmental roles—while simultaneously coaching hiring teams, tracking performance metrics, navigating recruiting technology, and laying the groundwork for new talent markets.

What To Expect In This Position

• Full-Lifecycle Recruiting: Lead and execute full-lifecycle searches across assigned requisitions—including key sales, developmental, tech, and corporate roles—maintaining a strong candidate pipeline and driving searches forward with a strong bias for action.
• Process & ATS Management: Leverage expertise in Lever and/or Rippling to execute recruiting workflows, track pipeline metrics, ensure clean data hygiene, and continuously optimize talent operations for scalability.

• Employer Branding & University Relations: Identify creative approaches to leverage FiscalNote’s brand. Build and manage relationships with universities, educational institutions, and professional communities through targeted events (hosted and attended) and online networks.
• Market Expansion: Help “break ground” in new talent markets (domestic or international) through market research, networking, and creative sourcing strategies.
• Vendor & Metric Management: Oversee external vendor relationships, tool performance, and candidate engagement metrics to drive continuous improvement in site traffic and application conversion.
• Culture & Inclusion Champion: Champion FiscalNote’s core values, Mission, and inclusive hiring practices across every candidate and internal touchpoint.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience: 3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment (preferably within tech, media, or dynamic corporate environments). Experience with both internal recruiting and agency environments is a plus.
• Systems & Tech Savvy: Strong familiarity and hands-on experience using Lever as an Applicant Tracking System and Rippling for HRIS/onboarding workflows. Proficient with advanced sourcing tools ( LinkedIn Recruiter, Handshake , etc.).
• Sales & Specialized Sourcing: Proven track record of sourcing and closing competitive roles, particularly within Sales/Business Development Representatives, Account Executives , and growth-focused positions.
• Consultative Mindset: Strong ability to act as a talent partner to leaders, utilizing data, structured interviewing methodologies, and strategic negotiation skills to drive optimal hiring decisions.
• Employer Brand & Networking: Experience organizing community events, university relations, and leverage channels to build talent pools and elevate employer presence.
• Inclusive Hiring Track Record: A demonstrated commitment to embedding equity, broad sourcing outreach, and fair evaluation practices throughout the entire hiring funnel.
