We are hiring an expert Talent Acquisition Lead to find, vet, and close the best talent for every level of the company - from high-level executive roles to niche technical positions and junior staff. You will work directly with management to identify hiring needs and then handle the entire process - sourcing, networking, interviewing, and negotiating. You are well-connected and can coordinate the logistics with our HR team to ensure a smooth onboarding.
What You'll Do
- Source candidates through job portals, professional networks, and non-standard channels.
- Work with management to turn a simple verbal description into a specific hiring plan.
- Use your existing connections to find top-tier talent even if they aren’t actively looking for jobs.
- Lead the interview process and manage the logistics of moving candidates through the pipeline.
- Use strong negotiation skills to ensure we land the right candidates within budget.
- Partner with the HR team to handle contracts and ensure the hiring process is professional and fast.
- Come up with and implement ideas to find talent for extremely niche or difficult-to-fill roles.
What We're Looking For
- You have years of experience running recruitment for high-growth startups or consumer companies.
- You do not need instructions. You understand the vibe and the requirement and just go find the person.
- You are equally comfortable hiring a Chief of Staff as you are hiring a junior designer or a niche engineer.
- You have a deep network and know how to use it to find people who don't apply to standard job boards.
- You have a personality that represents the company well and the negotiation skills to get the deal done.
General Notes
- Availability: <4 weeks
- Prior startup experience is highly valued.
- Compensation Range: Competitive and market-aligned. The final package depends on skills, experience, and abilities – not your degree.
