Head of Recruiting

Entrepreneur Cooperative•, (Multiple States)

3d•$12,000 - $12,000•Remote

About The Position

Our client is a fast-growing U.S.-based digital marketing company helping local and home service businesses generate qualified leads, strengthen their online presence, and grow through innovative organic marketing strategies. The organization operates in a high-growth, performance-driven environment where speed, creativity, ownership, and measurable results are highly valued. As the company continues to scale, it is investing in building a world-class recruiting function capable of consistently identifying, attracting, and hiring exceptional talent across multiple areas of the business. We are looking for a highly driven Head of Recruiting who combines exceptional sourcing and headhunting ability with strong recruiting leadership and practical knowledge of U.S. hiring compliance. This is not a traditional HR leadership role and is not intended for someone who primarily wants to manage processes, policies, or administrative functions. We are looking first and foremost for an outstanding recruiter: someone who knows how to identify difficult-to-find talent, approach passive candidates, generate interest, assess quality quickly, and consistently bring exceptional people into an organization. The successful candidate will remain deeply involved in recruiting execution while also improving processes, building talent pipelines, advising hiring leaders, and developing the recruiting function as the company continues to grow.

Requirements

Significant experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, executive search, or professional headhunting.
Proven track record successfully identifying and recruiting high-quality passive candidates.
Exceptional sourcing skills across LinkedIn, databases, networks, referrals, direct outreach, and creative sourcing channels.
Strong ability to sell opportunities and generate candidate interest.
Excellent interviewing and candidate-assessment skills.
Experience managing recruiting processes from hiring intake through offer acceptance.
Strong understanding of recruiting strategy, talent pipelines, and hiring-market dynamics.
Working knowledge of U.S. recruiting and hiring compliance requirements.
Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
Ability to influence senior leaders and hiring managers.
Highly resourceful, persistent, competitive, and results-oriented.
Comfortable recruiting across multiple roles and functions simultaneously.
Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and move quickly in a high-growth environment.
