Summary

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY We’re looking for an experienced full-cycle recruiter and talent sourcer to become a long-term recruiting partner to our company. This is not simply an applicant-processing role. We want to move from reactive hiring to proactive recruiting by continuously identifying, engaging, and maintaining relationships with strong prospective candidates before we urgently need them. Today, some positions can take 3–6 months to fill. Our goal is to substantially reduce that hiring lag by building an ongoing talent pipeline so we aren't starting from zero every time a position opens. A quick message from our CEO about what we're looking to build: https://vimeo.com/1220291794/48ec039e4a?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci A major initial priority will be developing a strong pipeline of accounting, finance, and bookkeeping professionals. Over time, you will support hiring across the organization, including operations, administrative, client service, sales, leadership, and other positions as our needs evolve.
