This full-time position is a leadership-candidate role on the mid-career recruiting team within the Human Resources Department of the Corporate Division. The employer operates advertising platform, marketing SaaS, and digital public relations businesses, and has an AI-focused subsidiary. The recruiting team supports hiring as the organization changes through product diversification and continued mergers and acquisitions. Approximately 70 mid-career hires were made in the previous fiscal year, with more expected in the current year.

The role covers planning hiring programs, defining hiring requirements, and creating and executing recruiting strategies and tactics. Responsibilities extend from building the candidate pool through accepting new employees after joining. Daily work includes preparing job descriptions and job postings, communicating with recruitment agencies, promoting direct recruiting, and handling onboarding. The position also participates in projects such as systematizing and improving recruiting operations, analyzing company-wide hiring data, and managing recruitment KPIs.

Applicants must have either at least two years of mid-career recruiting experience at an operating company, with no industry or job-type restriction, or at least three years of mid-career recruiting experience through an RPO provider or as an outsourced worker. Experience limited only to scouting or only to operations does not meet the stated requirement. Preferred experience includes recruiting at an IT company, recruiting in an organization that grew from several dozen to several hundred employees, hiring mid-level or senior candidates, and understanding or applying current trends in recruitment marketing and the human-resources field. Experience recruiting for a particular job family, such as corporate, business, or engineering roles, is also welcomed.

The team is organized as one manager, one leader who is the position being recruited for, four members, and four outsourced staff. The posting describes potential future paths including recruiting manager, combined responsibility for talent or organizational development, head of human resources, subsidiary HR head, and HR business partner.
