That means we need someone who can find talent before they're looking and get them excited about what we're creating. This is a full-cycle recruiting role for someone who knows how to source passive candidates, build talent networks, and sell a compelling story to people who have options.

• Strong storytelling skills and ability to sell a compelling vision to candidates
• Experience with Rippling or similar ATS/HRIS platforms
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Responsibilities

• Proactively source and engage passive candidates for corporate, mining, and engineering roles
