• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field required, or equivalent related experience considered. 
• 3–5 years of experience in full-cycle recruiting, ideally within a SaaS or tech environment.
• Familiarity with ATS systems – Lever experience strongly preferred, experience with Dayforce HRIS also a plus.
• Strong understanding of technical and non-technical roles, and the ability to tailor strategies accordingly.
• Proven ability to build consultative relationships with hiring managers and provide coaching throughout the hiring process.
• Demonstrated proactive sourcing capabilities, especially in competitive talent markets.
• Exceptional organizational and time management skills; you know how to juggle priorities and deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Excellent communication skills – written, verbal, and interpersonal – and a knack for building candidate rapport.
• Up-to-date knowledge of hiring laws and HR best practices.
• High level of integrity with the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information appropriately.
• Comfortable using social media, LinkedIn, job boards, and CRM/ATS tools to reach and engage talent.
