Specialist, Talent Recruitment - Home Office Outreach
About The Position
You understand that the best talent often isn't looking for a job—they need to be discovered, inspired, and invited to join a movement. As our Specialist, Talent Recruitment - Home Office Outreach, you will act as a strategic headhunter, identifying and engaging high-caliber professionals who fuel our mission from behind the scenes. By building deep relationships and guiding candidates through a thoughtful selection process, you will ensure that the central and regional teams supporting our students are composed of the most skilled and dedicated leaders in their fields.
Requirements
- A Bachelor’s degree is required
- Previous experience in talent acquisition, human resources, operations, or relationship-based roles where you have successfully managed multiple priorities in a non-profit or charter setting.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to tell a compelling story about our mission.
- A clear dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion, with an understanding of how to mitigate bias in the recruitment process.
- Comfort using LinkedIn Recruiter, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), or similar database management tools.

- Guide candidates through the initial stages of the hiring journey, conducting deep-dive interviews to assess mission alignment, technical expertise, and core competencies.
- Manage the candidate experience with a high-touch, "white-glove" approach, ensuring every individual feels valued and informed regardless of the final hiring decision.
- Evaluate candidate profiles against role-specific requirements to ensure a high-quality and equitable selection process that minimizes bias.
- Collaborate closely with hiring managers to deeply understand their team's needs and provide expert guidance on market trends and candidate expectations.
