The posting

Milltown Partners

Our clients operate at the frontiers of innovation - we advise technology companies driving change, global investors funding the future, the giants of sport and entertainment, and influential individuals on the communications and policy challenges that define their reputations. Our work spans corporate and financial communications, policy and public affairs to engage regulators and policymakers, policy communications and leadership communications. We underpin the full breadth of our capabilities with research-driven insights and campaigns. We're also pioneering AI-enhanced advisory work for both our clients and internal innovation, using technology to unlock insights from data at unprecedented scale and speed.

The role

This is a hand-on recruiting role, leading recruitment efforts in the US across New York, San Francisco and expanding into Washington, D.C. this year. We are a US team of 60 people, and growing at pace. You’ll be responsible for ensuring we hire brilliant talent in real time and getting ahead of future needs. You’ll report to the Global Head of Talent who sits in London and manage the US Talent Acquisition Manager who sits in New York.

You’re motivated when recruiting at a seriously high bar and building a recruiting engine to drive quality and growth. You can sit with leaders in the business and talk requirements, deeply understanding the skills and expertise we need across the business. This is a role for someone who wants to be an expert recruiter in a high-performing, fast-scaling, intellectually demanding professional services environment. You will draw on your prior experience recruiting for corporate communications and/or corporate public relations roles.

You’re already using LLMs to enhance and support your work, and are ideally experimenting with how recruitment-centric AI tools and automation can be additive. You are excited at the prospect of joining an agency that has placed a huge bet on how AI is going to transform the advisory world of comms, policy and research.

  • Work with US COO, Global Head of Talent, and People team to ensure alignment on recruitment priorities for the US team
  • Manage, and collaborate with, the US Talent Acquisition Manager in order to best divide and conquer live briefs as well as driving long-term improvements to our approach to the US talent market
  • Manage and execute a world-class candidate experience from first contact to close
  • Run a comprehensive kick off process to align on profile and process for each role, and prepare the interview team accordingly
  • Oversee and deliver sourcing strategy from advertising to outreach to managing recruiter agency relationships
  • Ensure deliberate attention is paid to diversifying our candidate pipeline
  • Lead the practical execution of recruitment activity for the roles you’re owning e.g. candidate liaison, calendar management, running introductory calls
  • Deliver internal US interviewer training
  • Develop a deep understanding of Milltown's work and talent strategy
  • Build and maintain an active network of candidates, market contacts, and peers across the US communications and policy advisory landscape
  • Use market intelligence to inform sourcing strategy: where the best talent is, what they are looking for, and how Milltown competes
  • Contribute insights on compensation, talent availability, and competitor activity internally to the Global People & Talent function
  • Ensure consistent, high quality and advisory-led communications with US leaders about recruitment activity
  • Escalate risks, delays, or misalignments to relevant leadership early and with a proposed solution
  • Act as a close collaborator to the Head of Talent to continuously spot opportunities for improvement, refinement and creativity across recruitment activity
  • Collaborate with the wider People & Talent team to ensure seamless integration between recruitment activity and company DEI efforts, marketing activity and employee experience
  • Use data and insight to drive continuous improvement in hiring quality: tracking pipeline conversion, assessing the quality of assessment at each stage, and identifying patterns that can inform better decisions
  • Use AI tools and efficient workflows to improve the quality and efficiency of the Talent teams’ delivery
  • Contribute to the development of our Talent toolkit: team materials and templates
  • Maintain clean and accurate records in Lever (or any future ATS platform) at all times, and coach interviewers to use the tool effectively
  • Manage the US Talent Acquisition Manager’s day-to-day work; acting as their first port of call for questions, feedback and collaboration
  • Act as the US Talent Acquisition Manager’s Development Coach; providing developmental support, identifying stretch opportunities, and providing clear performance feedback
  • Spot opportunities to contribute and collaborate with the wider People & Talent team, sharing in the responsibility to hold yourself and others to high standards as well as fostering a culture where exceptional advice, continuous learning and collaboration are the norm.
  • Minimum 8 years' recruitment experience, in the communications/ PR/ public affairs space (e.g., in-house with a consultancy, RPO, or specialist recruitment agency)
  • Strong track record of running end-to-end processes in a fast-paced high-quality environment, including managing multiple live roles
  • Confident stakeholder manager: able to push back, set expectations, and build credibility quickly with senior people
  • Solid understanding of the US communications, public affairs, or professional services talent market
  • Proficient with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS (Lever experience advantageous)
  • Experience using LLMs (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) effectively, safely and critically in a work setting
  • Strong communication skills: able to write compelling job adverts and clear candidate-facing materials, run prioritisation exercises with senior team members, facilitate kick-off sessions
  • Intellectual curiosity to develop subject matter expertise in new topics and share that knowledge with colleagues
  • Collaborative instincts and a genuine commitment to contributing to an inclusive culture
  • Experience experimenting with AI tools that are specifically designed to support people and talent functions
  • Experience working in a scaling environment
  • Competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses
  • 401(k) with company match, eligible from day one
  • Robust healthcare options, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus dedicated mental health support
  • 26 days PTO, 10 sick days, and 10 public holidays
  • Two-week company-wide winter break
  • Paid parental leave
  • Sabbatical leave
  • $100/month commuter benefit
  • Hybrid working model with three days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
  • Structured career development with clear progression pathways and a defined career framework

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
