Director of Recruiting

About Madison Davis

Madison Davis is a specialized staffing and recruiting firm with a strong presence across Financial Services, Banking, FinTech and Technology. As our Technology practice continues to grow, we are looking for a hands-on Delivery Director who can lead the recruiting team while remaining close enough to the work to understand where deals are moving, where support is needed and how to improve delivery.

The Opportunity

This is a player-coach position for someone who enjoys developing recruiters but does not want to become completely removed from recruiting.

The Delivery Director will spend approximately 30% of their time personally recruiting on priority searches and the remainder leading the team, assigning requisitions, managing delivery, coaching junior recruiters and partnering with sales leadership to ensure we are properly supporting client demand.

This person will play an important role in creating structure, improving execution and helping build the next generation of high-performing Technology recruiters at Madison Davis.

Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day performance and development of the Technology recruiting team
• Assign requisitions based on recruiter experience, capacity, specialization and urgency
• Personally recruit on approximately 30% of the desk’s highest-priority or most difficult searches
• Coach junior recruiters on sourcing, candidate qualification, closing and overall desk management
• Review candidate submissions and ensure quality remains consistently high
• Partner closely with sales and account management to understand priorities, client expectations and upcoming demand
• Monitor recruiter activity, pipeline health, interviews, placements and contractor starts
• Help remove obstacles when searches stall or additional recruiting support is needed
• Conduct regular one-on-one meetings, team meetings and performance reviews
• Improve recruiting processes, communication and accountability across the team
• Assist with hiring, onboarding and training new recruiters as the Technology practice grows
• Create a strong team environment where recruiters collaborate instead of guarding candidates and requisitions like medieval property

Qualifications

• At least 7 years of staffing agency experience, with a strong focus on Technology recruiting
• Previous experience managing, mentoring or formally leading recruiters
• Strong understanding of contract staffing, with permanent placement experience also valuable
• Demonstrated success recruiting across areas such as Software Engineering, Data, AI, Cybersecurity, Cloud, Infrastructure or related Technology functions
• Ability to manage multiple active requisitions while keeping the team organized and focused
• Strong judgment when assigning searches and determining where recruiting resources should be placed
• Comfortable holding people accountable while remaining actively involved in their development
• Strong communication skills and the credibility to partner with senior sales leaders and clients
• Willingness to work from our New York City office Monday through Thursday

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a manager position built around spreadsheets, meetings and asking recruiters why numbers are down after ignoring them for three weeks. The Delivery Director will have real involvement in the work, direct access to leadership and the opportunity to shape how the Technology recruiting team operates and grows.

For someone who can improve delivery, develop junior talent and still produce when needed, there is a clear path toward broader leadership within the Technology practice.
