Hey, it’s us, The Hired Guns, looking for an experienced recruiter who can help us keep growing at the gonzo pace we’ve been keeping up lately. If you’re a hot-for-digital recruiter looking for one of SIA’s “2017 Best Firms to Work For,” we want you on our team to help sniff out the very best hires for some hugely successful, highly innovative, and sometimes very prestigious clients. If that’s you, come on board and share with us this work we love.
Nitty Gritty
What sets us — and now you — apart is a thoroughly consultative approach in which you’ll immerse yourself in the client and their needs. With the promise of delivering their dream hire, you’ll establish a strong rapport and begin asking tons of questions (many of them starting with “why”) to get a thorough understanding of the business and the implications of the hire. Then you’ll leave no stone unturned in your relentless pursuit of the right person for the job — combing through social media and online portfolios, reaching out to our network of Guns, sending out feelers, collaring random strangers on the subway (okay, maybe not that, but you get the idea). Once you have your pool of candidates, you’ll undertake a careful vetting and interviewing process, finally producing the shiny talent-gem that is, if you don’t’ mind mixed metaphors, the lifeblood of a modern digital employer.
To be clear, this won’t be a string of one-offs. You’ll be building and nurturing relationships that will in many cases last for years.
Hired Gun Profile
Your recent work has given you an unusually intimate and varied window onto the digital landscape. Whatever you’ve been up to (we hope it’s actual recruiting, but we of all people know enough to be open-minded about this stuff), it’s left you in a perfect position to know where to find the most innovative professionals and what their work-lives consist of.
You have a salesperson’s ability to put people at their ease, whether that’s a handful of talented-but-overwhelmed startup folks trying to staff up their org, a harried HR manager, or an on-the-fence talent prospect. You use that interpersonal skill of yours to reassure people as you go about helping them to solve their problems.
You have a real drive to succeed, to win new business, to cultivate your own accounts and to walk away from every recruiting effort with the belief that you’ve matched the client’s need to the perfect talent.
Inside Skinny
It’s hugely important that you convince us of your understanding of New York’s ultra-competitive scene, and you’ll particularly impress us with a Rolodex full of top-shelf digital folk.
