Talent Acquisition Manager

Who Are You? You don't think of recruiting as HR. You think of it as sales, marketing, and relationship building. Your product just happens to be people. You know that exceptional talent rarely applies because they happen to stumble across a job posting. They apply because someone built a compelling story, started a meaningful conversation, and helped them see a future they couldn't stop thinking about. You understand that recruiting is about creating demand, not simply filling openings. You're equal parts recruiter, marketer, salesperson, brand ambassador, and talent strategist. You know how to build pipelines before they're needed, create excitement around opportunities, and turn passive candidates into enthusiastic advocates. You don't wait for great candidates to find you. You go find them! Who Are We? At How To Manage A Small Law Firm (HTM), we help law firm owners build extraordinary businesses. That starts by building an extraordinary team. We're growing quickly, and every hire has the ability to change the trajectory of our company. We're looking for someone who sees recruiting as one of the most impactful functions in any organization. Someone who believes hiring isn't about checking boxes. It's about changing lives, building teams, and finding people who elevate everyone around them. What You'll Own As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll own the full candidate journey while continuously improving how HTM attracts, engages, and hires exceptional people. This isn't an administrative recruiting role. You're responsible for building a talent engine. Talent Marketing The best candidates aren't always looking. You'll make sure they're looking at us.

You love experimenting with new recruiting strategies. You believe every interaction shapes a company's reputation. You're competitive and love winning great talent. Why HTM?
