About The Position

Red Oak is hiring a Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle recruiting across every department, partnering directly with executives and hiring managers from intake through accepted offer. The role sits on the People team and handles several concurrent searches at varying stages, including intake calls, sourcing, candidate screening, interview coordination, debriefs, and offer negotiation. The recruiting function uses Ashby, SeekOut, a daily AI sourcing agent, a recruitment dashboard, and automated candidate workflows. The Talent Acquisition Partner operates and improves these tools and determines when agency support is appropriate versus in-house recruiting. The role also owns the salary data behind offers and manages external agency relationships and job-board and LinkedIn postings. The successful hire will become fluent in the recruiting tools and processes, participate in live searches and intake calls during the first 30 days, and take multiple searches end to end within 90 days. By six months, the goal is to maintain time-to-fill across the hiring plan while increasing the share of hires led in-house. Within a year, hiring managers and executives should view the person as the trusted owner of recruiting, with candidates consistently rating their experience highly. The role is based at Red Oak’s Austin headquarters on the People team and follows a hybrid schedule: in office Tuesday through Thursday and remote Monday and Friday.
