Recruiter

Chandos • Edmonton, AB

12d • CA$65,000 - CA$75,000 • Remote

About The Position

We are looking for a highly driven Recruiter to act as the foundational support for our internal recruitment function. In this role, you will work side by side with recruitment leadership to take ownership of candidate screening, recruitment administration, and external agency management. This is a growth position designed for someone with the raw DNA of a headhunter who is ready to refine their corporate HR skills. You will come in to handle the critical groundwork, with the direct goal of being mentored and trained to eventually grow into a highly valued internal headhunter in this fast moving and fast growing company.

Requirements

• Minimum 1 year of experience in an agency recruitment environment.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in corporate or in-house recruitment.
• Degree or Diploma in Human Resources, Business, or a related field.
• You have a natural ability to build instant trust, actively listen, and artfully sell an opportunity to a passive candidate. You are fearless on the phone and comfortable cold calling.
• You are genuine, authentic, and outgoing, yet you always remain polished and professional as an ambassador for our brand.
• Even while handling administrative tasks, you think proactively like a hunter. You are always looking for the next great candidate, not just waiting for them to apply.
• You are AI savvy, intelligent, and exceptional with details. You love finding ways to use new tools and technology to make your workflow faster and cleaner.
• You do not freeze in ambiguity. You ask the right questions, take rough ideas, and figure out the path forward to keep momentum going.
• You operate at light speed but know how to execute flawlessly within corporate HR, governance, and equity guardrails.
• You seamlessly adapt your communication. You can manage agency partnerships effectively in the morning, build casual rapport with site teams at lunch, and present polished data to executives in the afternoon.
• You know time kills deals. You move with purpose, follow up instantly, and never let candidates go cold.
• You reject the hyper competitive, individualistic nature of traditional headhunting. You are deeply collaborative, genuinely care about the success of your peers, and know that we accomplish more when we work as a unified team.
• You deeply care about your candidates, clients, and team. You are human, not a machine. When things get difficult, you have the grit to keep getting back up. You do not let blunt feedback or the inevitable rejection of headhunting defeat you. Instead, you process it, shake it off, and keep pushing forward. Grit.
