You build strong relationships with stakeholders, develop creative sourcing strategies, and identify top talent in both local and national markets. Success is measured by recruiting discipline, stakeholder partnership, candidate quality, and consistent process execution, rather than simply filling roles as quickly as possible.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand business needs, position requirements, and ideal candidate profiles for each role.

• Identify and engage passive candidates across multiple geographic markets using networking, referrals, social recruiting, and direct outreach.
• Build and maintain talent communities and networks to support ongoing and future hiring needs.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, leading intake discussions to align on hiring needs, candidate profiles, interview expectations, and timelines.
• Provide data-driven recommendations on market conditions, talent availability, and candidate attraction strategies to support informed hiring decisions.
• Drive accountability around interview scheduling, feedback, and decision-making to improve hiring efficiency and reduce time-to-fill.
• Help hiring managers define what success looks like for each role and constructively challenge assumptions when appropriate.
• Ensure compliance with established recruiting processes, approval workflows, and documentation standards.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and recruitment activity within company systems and applicant tracking tools.
• Monitor recruitment metrics and provide updates to leadership, highlighting pipeline status, process performance, and hiring outcomes.
• Continuously evaluate and improve recruiting processes to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and candidate experience.
• Assist with HR-related projects and initiatives during periods of lower recruiting volume, contributing to broader talent and employee programs.
• Support general HR and talent acquisition efforts as needed, demonstrating flexibility and a customer service mindset.

Essential Skills

• Minimum of 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience managing end-to-end hiring for professional-level positions, including Sales, Engineering, Product Management, and Management roles.
• Proven experience sourcing candidates across multiple geographic markets, with the ability to recruit beyond local talent pools.
• Strong sourcing and networking skills, with demonstrated success engaging both active and passive candidates.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively interact with candidates, hiring managers, and leadership.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously.
