Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner

Build the team. Build the system. Help change lives.

At Altimate Medical, we design and manufacture innovative medical equipment that supports people living with disabilities in the complex rehabilitation space. Our products help individuals stand taller, move better, and live more independently. And we’re growing!

We operate by three commitments: Build Trust. Deliver Results with Passion. Invest for Good. These are not slogans--they guide how we design products, partner with customers, and develop our people.

We are seeking a hybrid-role Talent Acquisition Partner who is motivated by purpose and energized by building. This role is not just about filling jobs. It is about designing and scaling a hiring function that brings exceptional people into mission-driven work and meet our growth objectives.

In 2026, we are maturing our talent infrastructure, including implementing SuitePeople ATS 360 in Q2. We need an experienced recruiting professional who can architect high-quality processes, leverage AI responsibly, elevate our employer brand, source effectively, and create a high-quality candidate and hiring manager experience.

If you want to help build the system while building the team and directly impact the lives of people with disabilities, this role is for you.

The Opportunity

The Talent Acquisition Partner will own and elevate the end-to-end recruiting strategy across a variety of hourly and professional roles for four US locations. You will operate as a business partner, systems builder, and process optimizer.

Success will be measured by:

• Quality of hire
• Time-to-fill and pipeline health
• Hiring manager satisfaction
• Offer acceptance and first-year retention
• Candidate experience
• Effective implementation and adoption of SuitePeople ATS 360

This role is hybrid and based either in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area or within reasonable proximity to our headquarters in Morton and Redwood Falls, Minnesota. Bi-weekly or monthly travel to headquarters with ability to travel 3-4 times per year to our other Midwest locations near Chicago, Kansas City and any future locations.
