Recruitment Consultant

Location: On site, Durham, NC For this application, though, we want your own words. Tell us about someone you actively recruited who was not looking for a new job when you found them. We read every application. About Carpe Carpe is the fastest growing deodorant brand in the US. Our team is composed of about 30 insanely smart people working together in person in downtown Durham, NC. Our office is rather open with many private niches, and our energy level is HIGH. About the Role We are hiring our first Recruiter to own hiring across Carpe. One week you may be hunting for someone in finance, the next ecommerce, creative, operations, product, or marketing. At a 30 person company, every hire changes the company. You will also help find and onboard freelancers and contractors across the company, building a bench of exceptional independent talent we can turn to when we need it. What You’ll Do • Own full cycle hiring for every open role, from intake with the hiring manager through sourcing, screening, interviews, references, offer, and close. • Partner with hiring managers to define what exceptional looks like before a search begins and recalibrate quickly when the market tells us something. • Find, assess, and onboard freelancers and contractors across Carpe and build relationships with great independent talent we want to work with again. • Manage external recruiting partners when we use them while building our internal ability to need them less and less. • Run our in person interview process, including projects and panels, and make sure every step is actually helping us make a better hiring decision. • We want to understand what it was actually like to work with someone before we hire them. • Help close exceptional candidates who have other great options. • Keep our applicant tracking system accurate and useful. No candidate should disappear into a black hole, and no hiring manager should have to ask you where a search stands. What We’re Looking For • You learned recruiting somewhere that taught you to hunt for talent, not wait for applications. • You are comfortable picking up the phone and calling someone who was not thinking about changing jobs five minutes ago. • You are comfortable disagreeing with a hiring manager when you have the evidence to back it up. • If someone else is better at recruiting than you are, your instinct is to figure out why and get better. • The person you identified, went after, got on the phone, convinced to take the meeting, assessed, and ultimately closed. Experience recruiting across multiple functions or working with freelancers and contractors is valuable. Consumer, CPG, ecommerce, or high growth experience is a plus, not a requirement. Why This Role You are coming in with recruiting expertise. We are going to teach you how we hire. We have spent years getting exceptionally good at defining what great looks like, assessing people beyond their resumes, designing projects that test whether someone can actually do the work, running panels that produce real signal, referencing deeply, and making hard calls when someone is good but not great. That process helped build the team you see at Carpe today. Then we expect you to combine it with everything you already know about recruiting and make it even better. There are not many recruiting jobs where you get to understand a company this deeply or have this much influence over who joins it. Build an internal recruiting capability so good that Carpe does not need an external recruiter. We should be able to look around Carpe a few years from now and point to exceptional employees, freelancers, and contractors who are here because you found them. This is not a recruiting coordinator role. It is not an HR generalist role. If your favorite part of recruiting is hunting for an exceptional person, figuring out what makes them tick, and getting them across the finish line, you will probably love this job.
