  • Partner closely with internal leadership and client stakeholders to understand evolving hiring needs
  • Provide real-time market insights (talent trends, compensation, competition) to guide hiring strategy
  • Manage candidates throughout the full lifecycle, from first outreach through offer acceptance
  • Continuously refine search strategies to break into competitive and niche talent markets


What We’re Looking For

  • 1 Year of Professional Experience

  • Natural ability to build relationships and align people
  • High energy, competitive mindset, and curiosity
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Ability to think strategically and solve problems
