We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruitment across a broad range of positions.

In this role, you will serve as a trusted talent advisor to hiring managers and senior leaders. You will independently develop search strategies, identify and engage qualified candidates, provide labor-market insights and guide hiring teams through candidate evaluation and selection.
The ideal candidate can comfortably shift between high-volume recruiting and complex, difficult-to-fill searches, work with minimal direction and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, growing organization.

- Proactively identify and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, professional networks, industry associations, referrals, job boards and other sourcing tools.
- Partner with hiring managers, senior leaders and executives to understand business needs, define candidate profiles and establish effective recruiting plans.
- Lead productive calibration and candidate-review discussions, helping hiring teams align expectations with available talent and current market conditions.
- Provide insight into talent availability, competitive compensation, candidate expectations and potential recruiting challenges.
- Prioritize searches based on business impact, hiring urgency and workforce plans while maintaining momentum across multiple active requisitions.
- Build talent pipelines for recurring, specialized and business-critical positions.
- Coordinate with the Talent Acquisition Coordinator to support interview scheduling and candidate communication.
- Ensure accurate and timely handoffs to the pre-hire and onboarding team following offer acceptance.
- Partner with RPO providers and recruiting agencies when additional support or specialized expertise is needed.
- Evaluate agency usage and identify opportunities to bring searches in-house.
- Maintain accurate candidate, requisition and recruiting activity information within the applicant tracking system.
- Track and communicate recruiting metrics, pipeline health, hiring risks and search progress.
- Support continuous improvement of recruiting processes, sourcing tools, interview practices and hiring manager resources.
- Coach and support less-experienced recruiters while promoting consistent recruiting practices across the team.
- Deliver a professional, responsive and positive candidate experience.
- Ensure recruiting practices comply with applicable employment laws and company policies.
What You’ll Bring

- Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems, job boards and other recruiting technologies.
