Location RequirementCandidates must reside in an eligible U.S. state throughout employment. We are unable to hire candidates residing in
California, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, or outside the United States.About the roleThe People Operations team owns the full talent function at Reserv: recruiting, onboarding, HR, and L&D. As Reserv scales, a growing share of our hiring targets a specific type of candidate - ex-consultants (BCG, Bain, McKinsey and similar), lawyers, and senior client-facing professionals - people who are not browsing job boards, require a warm and credible approach to engage, and need a compelling story about what Reserv is building to consider a move.
This role exists to own that pipeline end-to-end. You will be the dedicated recruiter for corporate functions - strategy, legal, account management, finance, People Operations, and similar roles that demand professional-services caliber talent. The work is primarily outbound - sourcing from scratch, cold outreach on LinkedIn, cold calling - and the bar for candidates is high. Inbound will exist but shouldn't be counted on. Turnarounds are fast and timelines are tight - this is not a role for someone who needs a lot of runway before acting. As the team scales and capacity allows, this person may also support tech or claims hiring. If you've done this before and are good at it, this is a role where you'll have a lot of autonomy and a clear mandate.
You will be an excellent fit if you have a track record of successfully recruiting passive candidates who weren't looking, and have done it in a professional services context (consulting, law, finance, or adjacent).

This role exists to own that pipeline end to end. You will be the dedicated recruiter for corporate functions - strategy, legal, account management, finance, People Operations, and similar roles - where professional-services caliber talent is essential. Many of these searches are confidential and senior-level, so discretion and sound judgment matter as much as sourcing skill. The work is primarily outbound: sourcing from scratch, reaching out on LinkedIn, and calling candidates directly. The bar is high, and inbound interest will exist but shouldn't be counted on. Searches move quickly and timelines are tight, so you'll need to build momentum fast. As the team scales, you may also support tech or claims hiring. You will be an excellent fit if you have a track record of recruiting passive candidates who weren't looking, ideally in a professional services or executive search setting. If you've done this before and are good at it, you'll have significant autonomy and a clear mandate.
What you'll doSourcing and Pipeline Development: Own the sourcing strategy for corporate and operations roles from scratch - strategy, legal, finance, account management, People Operations, and similar functions. Build candidate pipelines through targeted LinkedIn outreach, cold calling, and referral networks. Identify and approach candidates who are not actively looking, including ex-consultants, lawyers, and experienced account managers.
Candidate Engagement and Qualification: Run a compelling outreach and engagement process that converts passive interest into active conversations. Conduct initial screens to assess candidates' skills, experience, and fit, and move qualified candidates through the process quickly and with minimal friction.
Hiring Manager Partnership: Serve as a strategic partner to hiring managers across corporate and operations functions. Provide market intelligence on candidate availability, compensation benchmarks, and realistic timelines. Push back when requirements narrow the pool unnecessarily and drive urgency without sacrificing quality.
Process and Pipeline Management: Own the ATS as the single source of truth for all active searches. Keep pipeline data clean and current, and produce reporting that gives leadership clear visibility into where searches stand and where the bottlenecks are.
Offer and Close: Drive offers from recommendation to acceptance. Manage compensation discussions with candidates directly, keep the hiring manager and People Operations aligned, and close candidates with conviction.
