Talent Scout (In-House Recruiting)

Allied Maker • Glen Cove, NY

6d • $70,000 - $110,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Allied Maker is an American lighting manufacturer producing high-quality, bench-made lighting for leading interior design and architectural projects worldwide. All designs and fabrication are completed in-house or in partnership with generational craftspeople. Our work is grounded in materiality, and our production environment relies on human skill and judgment, with long learning curves and hands-on experience central to quality, aesthetics, and execution.

As we prepare to move into a new 72,000 sq ft headquarters in Glen Cove, NY, we are building an internal Talent Scout function to support the company’s next phase of growth. The Talent Scout role exists to proactively identify, engage, and introduce high-quality candidates across manufacturing, design, engineering, operations, and leadership roles.

This is not a generalist HR role. The Talent Scout is focused exclusively on talent identification and attraction, operating with discernment, discipline, and a long-term view of building the Allied Maker team.
