About The Position

We’re looking for a dynamic, adaptable, and analytically-minded Talent Acquisition Specialist who can own full-cycle recruitment across a range of corporate disciplines while also bringing strong HR generalist skills to the table. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-growth environments, is deeply organized, and is energized by context-switching between fast-paced recruiting and hands-on people team support. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with senior leaders, manage a diverse requisition load, and create clear, data-driven hiring dashboards to help executives make informed workforce decisions. When hiring volume fluctuates, this person will assist with onboarding, employee engagement, people ops projects, and more.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a proven track record of managing high-volume, recurring requisitions across sales (e.g., Territory Managers) and customer support/operations. Agency or fast-growing corporate background strongly preferred.
• Thrives in high-growth, high-output environments, with demonstrated success hitting aggressive monthly hiring quotas and managing a continuous, high-capacity requisition load.
• Mastery over pipeline velocity and conversion—able to juggle 15–20+ active requisitions simultaneously while maintaining strict response time SLAs and a white-glove candidate experience.
• Data-driven partner to hiring managers, capable of setting clear interview SLAs, leading calibration sessions, and using pipeline metrics to guide executive decision-making.
• Agile and operationally minded, eager to optimize recruitment processes, jump into batch/event hiring, and support broader People Operations initiatives as the team scales.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Rippling or UKG)
• Previous Startup experience a plus

Responsibilities

• Drive full-cycle, high-volume recruitment, prioritizing high-output pipelines for core roles (e.g., Sales / Territory Managers and Intake Specialists) alongside niche non-clinical positions.
• Partner with hiring managers to scope roles, develop job descriptions, calibrate on candidate profiles, and provide consistent updates throughout the hiring process.
• Build and maintain robust candidate pipelines through proactive outbound sourcing (LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, cold outreach), targeted local campaigns, and referral programs to ensure a continuous flow of qualified applicants.
• Deliver a seamless, high-touch candidate experience while maintaining fast velocity through the pipeline—moving applicants swiftly from initial screen to offer extension without sacrificing quality.
• Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., Finance, People Operations, Sr. Leadership) to ensure roles are aligned with headcount plans and organizational goals.
• Simultaneously run multiple fast-moving candidate funnels, maintaining strict SLAs for interview turnaround times, candidate feedback, and time-to-fill.
• Continuously monitor conversion rates across recruitment stages (screen-to-interview, interview-to-offer, offer-to-accept) to identify bottlenecks and optimize hiring speed.
• Selection & Assessment Screening: Conduct targeted, high-efficiency phone screens to quickly evaluate candidate capability, sales aptitude, and cultural alignment against role profiles.
