About the PositionFiscalNote is seeking an experienced Senior Recruiter to help foster a best-in-class recruiting operation. Working cross-functionally, you will blend strategic talent vision with hands-on execution. You will build deep relationships internally and externally, managing full-lifecycle recruiting from sourcing to offer, while elevating our community engagement, ATS workflows, and employer branding.
This role requires a proactive partner who can drive key hires-focusing heavily on sales, technical, and developmental roles-while simultaneously coaching hiring teams, tracking performance metrics, navigating recruiting technology, and laying the groundwork for new talent markets.
What To Expect In This Position- Full-Lifecycle Recruiting: Lead and execute full-lifecycle searches across assigned requisitions-including key sales, developmental, tech, and corporate roles-maintaining a strong candidate pipeline and driving searches forward with a strong bias for action.
- Process & ATS Management: Leverage expertise in Lever and/or Rippling to execute recruiting workflows, track pipeline metrics, ensure clean data hygiene, and continuously optimize talent operations for scalability.
- Strategic Talent Partnership: Act as a consultative talent advisor to hiring managers and department leaders, coaching them on interviewing best practices, market dynamics, and structured evaluation.
- Employer Branding & University Relations: Identify creative approaches to leverage FiscalNote's brand. Build and manage relationships with universities, educational institutions, and professional communities through targeted events (hosted and attended) and online networks.
- Market Expansion: Help "break ground" in new talent markets (domestic or international) through market research, networking, and creative sourcing strategies.
- Vendor & Metric Management: Oversee external vendor relationships, tool performance, and candidate engagement metrics to drive continuous improvement in site traffic and application conversion.
- Culture & Inclusion Champion: Champion FiscalNote's core values, Mission, and inclusive hiring practices across every candidate and internal touchpoint.
What Sets You Apart- Experience: 3-5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment (preferably within tech, media, or dynamic corporate environments). Experience with both internal recruiting and agency environments is a plus.
- Systems & Tech Savvy: Strong familiarity and hands-on experience using Lever as an Applicant Tracking System and Rippling for HRIS/onboarding workflows. Proficient with advanced sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Handshake, etc.).
- Sales & Specialized Sourcing: Proven track record of sourcing and closing competitive roles, particularly within Sales/Business Development Representatives, Account Executives, and growth-focused positions.
- Consultative Mindset: Strong ability to act as a talent partner to leaders, utilizing data, structured interviewing methodologies, and strategic negotiation skills to drive optimal hiring decisions.
- Employer Brand & Networking: Experience organizing community events, university relations, and leverage channels to build talent pools and elevate employer presence.
- Inclusive Hiring Track Record: A demonstrated commitment to embedding equity, broad sourcing outreach, and fair evaluation practices throughout the entire hiring funnel.
- Adaptability & Execution: Ability to thrive in an evolving, ambiguous environment with enterprise-level problem-solving abilities and a strong team-first mentality.
