Talent Acquisition Lead

BusRight • New York, NY

14h • Remote

About The Position

Now more than ever, we recognize that Talent will have a disproportionate impact on the future of our business, as constantly evolving technological solutions make the human touch more important than ever. We’re ready to bring on board our first in-house Talent Acquisition Lead to identify the next generation of talent that will shape BusRight and the student transportation industry.
As BusRight’s Talent Acquisition Lead, you’ll create the systems, processes, and brand that power our next chapter by helping us attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent across every team. From GTM to Engineering, you’ll turn data and storytelling into a recruiting engine that’s scalable, human, and uniquely BusRight.
This is an opportunity for someone who’s entrepreneurial, disciplined, and energized by the challenge of scaling a fast growing tech company by influencing its most important driver of success: its people.

Requirements

• You’ve spent 5-7 years helping venture-backed, high-growth technology companies attract and hire great people.
• You’ve hired across every corner of the org (e.g., GTM, Product, Engineering) and you love figuring out what makes someone not just qualified, but value-added to the organization
• You thrive in ambiguous situations and know how to operate in the “grey area” between problems and processes. You don’t require prescriptive direction and are motivated by the opportunity to propose novel solutions to challenges others haven’t yet addressed.
• You’ve built (or rebuilt) recruiting playbooks, interview scorecards, and candidate experiences that feel thoughtful and human. You’re just as comfortable mapping a hiring strategy as you are jumping into a sourcing sprint.
• You communicate clearly, think systematically, and use strong judgment to make critical decisions.
• You’re creative and entrepreneurial. You’d rather develop bespoke solutions than run the same play as the other team.
• You’re tech-savvy and focused on relentless personal development, recognizing that technology only amplifies the importance of human capability.
• Most of all, you’re humble, curious, and down to earth. You care about people, education, and building something that matters - and you want to help BusRight grow by finding the kind of teammates who care just as much.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full recruiting journey across every department, from the first outreach to the final offer, ensuring every candidate experience reflects our core tenet of magical hospitality.
• Partner with department heads to define excellence for each new role, building structured, thoughtful hiring processes that help us move fast without sacrificing quality.
• Build and maintain pipelines that keep us ahead of our hiring needs, nurturing relationships with exceptional talent even before new roles exist.
• Create the recruiting infrastructure (e.g., tools, metrics, and rituals) that keeps our hiring transparent, efficient, and deeply aligned with our values.
• Design a candidate experience that feels personal, purposeful, and unmistakably BusRight.
• Collaborate with Marketing and Leadership to bring BusRight’s employer brand to life through storytelling, events, and creative outreach that show who we are and why people love working here.
