Talent Acquisition Manager

Valeo Financial Advisors is seeking a relationship-driven Talent Acquisition Manager to own and shape our targeted campus and professional recruiting strategy. This is a front-line growth role responsible for identifying where top talent exists, building credibility in those communities, and consistently attracting high-performing talent.

You will strengthen Valeo’s long-term talent pipeline through a focused, relationship-first approach, prioritizing high-quality engagement over broad, event-driven activity.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a people-facing environment, brings a business development mindset, and is energized by earning trust with candidates and connectors over time.

This position requires consistent in-person attendance at our Carmel, Indiana headquarters.

What You’ll Do

• Own relationships with a focused set of universities, career centers, and student organizations to build a high-quality emerging-talent pipeline aligned to Valeo’s growth strategy
• Identify and engage experienced professionals through targeted networking, referrals, and direct outreach, positioning Valeo as a destination for top-tier talent
• Represent Valeo at select campus and industry events, creating high-quality candidate conversations and follow-up
• Maintain warm candidate relationships for future roles, even when there isn’t an immediate opening
• Manage candidate pipelines with disciplined follow-through and accurate, timely communication
• Partner with executive leadership to anticipate hiring needs, shape recruiting strategy, and stay aligned with growth priorities
• Coordinate and facilitate interview processes, candidate communications, and recruiting logistics with consistency and professionalism
• Serve as a brand ambassador for Valeo, shaping candidate perception and articulating a compelling career story
  
  

Our Approach to Talent

We invest deeply in a select group of universities, networks, and professional communities, prioritizing depth and continuity over a broad, transactional model. Success in this role comes from strong relationship skills, disciplined pipeline management, and a proactive, competitive approach to recruiting.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Proven experience in sales, business development, recruiting, or a highly relationship-driven role
• Demonstrated ability to build genuine connections and engage effectively with individuals at all levels, from college students to senior industry professionals
• High level of professionalism and confidence in social, client-facing, and networking environments
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple pipelines and priorities
• Clear communicator with sharp follow-up skills and attention to detail
• Self-starter who is proactive, resourceful, and comfortable building pipeline ahead of open roles
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in financial services or a related professional services environment
• Prior experience in campus recruiting, talent acquisition, or business development
