Company Description

When minutes matter, seconds count. As a pioneer and market leader in mass notification, our mission is to empower organizations to protect lives, secure assets, and maintain business continuity.

Job Description

We are looking for an outgoing recruiting extraordinaire to play a critical role in driving Alertus’ rapid growth. The Recruiter reports to the Manager, Talent Acquisition and will be key to bringing our mission to life. In this role, you will be responsible for recruiting top-tier talent from sourcing to onboarding. We want a go-getter who hires talent for the anniversary date — not the start date. 

This is a self-driven position where being adaptable, creative, and impactful are the ingredients for success. Our ideal candidate is someone who is unafraid to try new things in order to attract and retain the best talent — the type of talent that can take a company to the next level and beyond.

• Proactively identify and recruit passive candidates by using various creative strategies and channels 
• Screen and interview technical and non-technical candidates for company and skillset fit with the ultimate goal of hiring for the anniversary date — not the hire date

• Obsess over the candidate experience — We want all of our candidates to walk away from the recruiting process with the desire to join the Alertus team
• Be the go-to person during the offer stage from preparing and extending an offer to negotiation and offer acceptance
• Initiate and conduct reference, background, and education checks for candidates joining the Alertus team
• Work with Chief of Staff and other HR representatives to help provide HR guidance on laws, best practices, etc., surrounding the recruitment process
• Provide guidance and mentorship to hiring managers and interviewers to aid in our ability to hire top-tier talent
• Help improve our existing recruitment process through scalable changes to aid in our rapid growth
• Analyze recruiting metrics to help identify areas of improvement
• Be an Alertus advocate and generate enthusiasm about the company

• Flexibility and adaptability to work in a fast-paced, ever changing environment
• Expert communicator with ability to be the driver of the recruitment process
• Self motivated and willing to do what is necessary to get the job done
• Critical thinking skills — the ability to connect the dots
• Ability to provide an excellent candidate experience 
• Experience using various ATS systems — Lever experience is a plus — as well as other systems to contact and organize passive and active candidates
• Experience using Boolean search strings to unearth the best candidates
• Strong organizational skills — you’re going to have to be able to stay organized among all of the amazing candidates in various stages of the recruitment process
• Collaborative mindset
• Ability to facilitate discussion, identify, and implement alternatives or different approaches

• BA/BS or equivalent experience 
• 2-4 years of experience recruiting for both technical and non-technical roles

• Competitive Salary
• Business Casual Environment
