What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

  • You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
  • You give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
  • Bonus: Recruiting in manufacturing, industrial operations, or supply chain markets. Scaling a TA function through rapid headcount growth. Immigration and global mobility coordination. Employer brand building.
