Sr Talent Acquisition Specialist

About the role

We use a trust-over-performance lens borrowed from how elite teams select people. High performance, paired with low trust doesn't get a pass here, it's the profile most likely to quietly damage a team. We'd rather have someone who's a strong (not flashy) performer and who everyone on the team trusts completely, than a top performer nobody wants to work with. You'll be expected to screen candidates the same way, and to hold yourself to it too. We're specifically looking for the Ideal Team Player profile (Lencioni): Humble: You teach and you learn. You don't need to be the smartest person in the room; you need the room to get smarter. Hungry: You take on new challenges without being asked twice. If you didn't have to sleep, you'd probably be building or learning something anyway. Passive learning ("I watched some videos") isn't hunger. Active experimentation is. Smart (people-smart): You read a room, adjust how you talk to different people, and know when to push and when to listen. Without integrity, the other two don't matter; they'll work against you instead of for you.

Responsibilities

What that looks like day to day:

• Proactive, direct outreach to passive candidates. Cold and warm. LinkedIn, referrals, community, whatever works.
• Posting and managing applicant response, but never relying on it as the primary source
• Asking our own team who they'd refer, and following up on it
• Sending personalized video introductions to candidates, a tactic we use that most recruiters don't
• Screening interviews using a structured Humble/Hungry/Smart scorecard, shared with the hiring manager after every screen
• Learning the Salesforce ecosystem well enough to have a real conversation with a candidate, not just read a job description back to them
• Getting specific, fast feedback from hiring managers and adjusting your search based on it

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have:

• 7-10+ years of full-lifecycle technical recruiting in Professional Services / Consulting
• Proven track record recruiting technology consultants, ideally within an ecosystem like Salesforce, ServiceNow, AWS, or similar
• Comfortable with Boolean search and proactive sourcing, not just ATS management
• Genuinely excited about AI, not just tolerant of it. You already use tools like LinkedIn Recruiter + Hiring Assistant, and you're eager to pick up tools like Claude and use them to work faster and smarter, not because you're told to, but because you actually like this stuff.
• Strong verbal and written communication
• Bachelor's degree preferred
