Recruiter Position at VitalSource

VitalSource is hiring a Recruiter to contribute to our People team located in Raleigh, NC or Boston, MA (preferred locations). Applicants outside of these preferred locations will still be considered.

We are looking for a Recruiter to own the full hiring lifecycle at VitalSource. Reporting to the Senior Director, Talent Management, you will partner closely with hiring managers across the organization to source, attract, and close top talent. You will carry a requisition load of 10 to 12 open roles at a time, drive pipeline health through proactive sourcing, and be a consistent champion for an equitable and inclusive candidate experience.

This is a consultative recruiting role. You will be the trusted advisor who realigns when calibration drifts, brings market context into conversations, and holds the process together from intake to offer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the full recruiting lifecycle across 10 to 12 open requisitions simultaneously, from intake through offer, with clear communication at every stage.
• Partner with hiring managers at intake to define role requirements, calibrate the ideal candidate profile, and align on sourcing strategy, interview process, and timeline.
• Actively source candidates through Jobvite, LinkedIn, professional networks, employee referrals, and community channels; maintain a healthy pipeline for current and near-term openings.
• Conduct structured recruiter screens and provide clear, evidence-based candidate assessments to hiring managers.
• Own the candidate experience from first contact to close, communicating proactively and representing VitalSource's mission and employee value proposition with consistency.
• Track and report recruiting funnel metrics in Jobvite; surface trends, conversion gaps, and time-to-fill data to the Senior Director, Talent Management.
• Coach hiring managers on structured interviewing, candidate evaluation, and offer strategy; serve as a trusted advisor, not just a sourcing partner.
• Support inclusive job description language, sourcing diversification, and structured evaluation practices.
• Maintain accurate records in Jobvite and ADP; ensure compliance with recordkeeping requirements across all requisitions.
• Own and maintain job descriptions, partnering with hiring managers to ensure accuracy and alignment before posting.
• Represent VitalSource at recruiting events and on employer brand channels.

Required Qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in a technology environment.
• Proficiency in an ATS platform; Jobvite experience is a plus.
• Working knowledge of ADP or a comparable HRIS for offer and onboarding coordination.
• Experience drafting and refining job descriptions that accurately reflect the role.
• Strong organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously.
• Clear, candid written and verbal communication with candidates, hiring managers, and team members.
• Sound judgment in candidate assessment; ability to distinguish must-haves from preferences and redirect when calibration drifts.
• A sense of urgency to fill roles efficiently with the right fit for both the candidate and VitalSource.

Preferred Skills:

• Comfort using AI tools, including Claude, to improve efficiency in sourcing, job description drafting, and candidate communications.
• A bachelor's degree is not required; this is a skills-based role.

What We Offer:

• Culture: Collaborative, Inclusive, and Mission-driven.
• More in your pocket: Competitive base salary and a strong variable component.
• We take care of all aspects of our people: Generous, well-rounded benefits such as Medical, Vision, Dental, Life, Disability, Critical Illness, Accident, FSA, HSA, ID Protection, Pet and Legal Insurance.
• Retirement: 401K match up to 5%.
• We support our families: 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Continued education: Use our tuition reimbursement program.
• The Importance of Balance: Start at 4 weeks' vacation, 12 sick days, 11 company holidays, and 3 personal days.
• Flexibility: Flexible work schedules and remote capabilities (by team) - feel free to skip the commute and hit your deadlines from home.
• Wellness: Opportunities for fitness challenges and rewards.

Salary Range: $75,000 to $90,000
