Job Responsibilities

As our Strategic Talent Acquisition Partner, you are a crucial link between our company's vision and the high-impact talent who will help us achieve it. This role is for a proactive and process-driven professional who sees every candidate as a customer and every hiring manager as a partner. Your success is defined by your ability to drive exceptional results, build trust through flawless execution, and leave every stakeholder feeling valued and respected.

  • Elevate the Customer Experience: Deliver a world-class experience for every candidate and hiring team. You will ensure a transparent, engaging, and respectful journey that reinforces our brand and builds long-term trust, regardless of the hiring outcome.
  • Champion Continuous Improvement (CI): Apply a CI mindset to our recruitment processes. You will analyze data, identify inefficiencies, and drive scalable enhancements to our sourcing, screening, and selection methods, moving us from reactive to strategic.
  • Facilitate High-Impact Talent Acquisition: Master the art of full-cycle recruiting to acquire high-impact talent. This includes proactive, creative sourcing to build robust, diverse pipelines for both critical and standard positions.
  • Utilize Data for Impact: Leverage recruitment metrics—from time-to-fill to quality of hire—to tell the story of your impact. You will use data to drive decisions, optimize strategies, and report on the value you bring to the business.
  • Drive Diversity & Inclusion: Be an active champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion in all hiring practices. You will ensure our candidate pools are broad and inclusive, helping us build a team that reflects the rich diversity of our communities.


Job Requirements

  • Mindset: A relentless customer focus and a demonstrated passion for continuous improvement. You're proactive, adaptable, and a natural problem-solver committed to building strong partnerships.
  • Skill Set:
  • Proficiency in full-cycle recruiting and advanced sourcing techniques.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
  • Adept at leveraging data and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
  • Experience: A minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in recruiting or HR is preferred, but we value potential. If you have equivalent experience in a role requiring a high degree of customer service, process execution, and problem-solving, we encourage you to apply. We are open to training the right person who demonstrates a strategic mindset and a passion for our mission.
  • Learning Agility: A growth mindset and a desire to learn are critical. We are committed to providing the training and support you need to succeed and grow your career with us.
