What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Attraction, Lead Recruiter position at PlayMetrics?
PlayMetrics is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company revolutionizing the way youth sports organizations operate. Our industry-leading platform is trusted by thousands of clubs, leagues, and governing bodies to manage operations, communication, scheduling, and player development, all in one place. We’re backed by private equity and run with the speed and ownership mindset of a startup - we move fast, build lean, and expect everyone to make a visible impact.
This is a full-time position based at our Morrisville, NC headquarters, and we’re looking for a local candidate. The role is hybrid, in the office Mondays and Thursdays, with flexibility to work remotely the rest of the week, subject to the Company’s needs and policies in the future.
The Role
We’re looking for a Recruiter to be the architect of our hiring engine. This is currently a department of one, so you’ll need to be just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves on day-to-day sourcing and scheduling as you are setting strategy. We have limited recruiting processes in place today, and we’re looking for the right person to build our talent acquisition function from the ground up. The successful candidate will not only be a killer recruiter but will own the full recruitment lifecycle, partner directly with our hiring managers, and create the scalable processes needed to grow our organization. If you love an entrepreneurial environment, want full ownership of a function you build yourself, and welcome the challenge of being a true one-person department, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)
- Design the Process: Create standardized, equitable, and efficient interview workflows, evaluation rubrics, and feedback loops for all roles (Business Development, Sales, Customer Success, etc.).
- Full-Cycle Recruiting: Own the end-to-end hiring process. You will source, screen, interview, and close top-tier talent for positions in Product Management, Development, Dev/Ops, Marketing, Operations, and more.
- Strategic Sourcing: Develop creative outbound sourcing strategies to engage passive candidates in a highly competitive market.
- Partner with Hiring Managers: Act as a strategic advisor to the leadership team. You will help define job requirements, align on compensation strategies, and train interviewers on best practices.

- Candidate Experience: Ensure every candidate, whether they get an offer or not, has a seamless, respectful, and transparent experience.
- Experience: 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably with a mix of technical and non-technical roles.
- Startup & PE-Backed DNA: You’ve worked in an early-stage, high-growth startup or a PE-backed environment, and you know what it takes to deliver results without a big team behind you. You are comfortable with ambiguity, pivoting quickly, and rolling up your sleeves.
- Builder Mentality: Proven experience building or completely revamping recruiting processes, tools, and workflows from scratch, and the independence to run them solo once built.
- Sourcing Expertise: Deep knowledge of modern sourcing tools and techniques (LinkedIn Recruiter, X-Ray searches, GitHub, networking events).
