About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of experience in direct-approach recruitment in demanding, high-growth environments such as a headhunting firm, executive search, or an internal search function at a high-standard company.
  • Experience managing searches for senior or executive profiles and working comfortably with C-level stakeholders.
  • Rigor, analytical ability, and autonomy; ability to structure clear reporting, derive insights from data, and translate them into actions.
  • Interest in continuous improvement, with the ability to propose and structure changes rather than only execute.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to advise, persuade, and build trusted relationships with senior candidates and executives.
  • Proficiency with sourcing tools, including LinkedIn Recruiter, databases, and AI tools applied to recruitment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end recruitment for the company's most strategic positions in partnership with directors: define needs and success criteria, create tailored sourcing strategies, assess candidates throughout the process, and support stakeholders through the offer stage.
  • Monitor the market by building competitive mappings and sector intelligence, interpreting compensation dynamics and target-profile positioning, and advising directors on market realities to calibrate roles.
  • Serve as the primary candidate contact for high-stakes searches and provide a strong candidate experience through clear communication, process transparency, and responsiveness.
  • Conduct structured candidate evaluations, prepare evidence-based assessment summaries, provide reasoned recommendations to directors, and present the company's proposition to candidates.
  • Maintain rigorous search reporting, track and analyze KPIs including timelines, conversion rates, and pipeline quality, and regularly update directors on progress, blockers, and proposed adjustments.
  • Challenge existing practices and propose improvements to tools, processes, evaluation methodology, and the structure of the search function.
  • Share methods, experience, and execution standards to help develop more junior team members.
