Job Description

Executive Recruiter

Part headhunter. Part matchmaker. Part trusted advisor. Full-time closer.

We’re looking for an Executive Recruiter who thrives in complex, fast-moving enterprise environment and knows how to land leaders who can operate at scale. This role is for someone who understands that executive recruiting is equal parts strategy, relationship-building, and flawless execution. This Executive Recruiter will know how to spot exceptional talent from a mile away, ask the right questions, and deliver candidates who actually move the needle. If you love digging into complex roles, building real relationships, and winning searches (not just filling seats), keep reading.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end-to-end executive searches across technical, professional services, and leadership roles
  • Partner closely with clients to truly understand the role, the business, and the “unwritten rules”
  • Identify, attract, and engage top-tier passive talent who isn’t scrolling job boards
  • Craft compelling outreach that feels human, not spammy
  • Vet candidates thoroughly so hiring managers don’t have to “read between the lines”
  • Manage candidate experience from first conversation to offer close (and beyond)
  • Act as a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates, because great recruiting is built on trust

What You’re Great At

  • Asking smart, strategic questions and actually listening to the answers
  • Reading between the lines on resumes and people
  • Balancing professionalism with personality
  • Juggling multiple searches without dropping the ball
  • Communicating clearly, confidently, and honestly
  • Closing offers without making it weird

What You Bring

  • Proven experience recruiting executive or senior leadership roles within a large enterprise or complex organization
  • Strong business and financial acumen with the ability to quickly understand different functions and operating models
  • Experience partnering directly with executives, HR leadership, and talent teams
  • Exceptional judgment, discretion, and professionalism
  • A collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in building long-term leadership pipelines
  • Confidence working directly with senior leaders and decision-makers
  • A high bar for quality (you care more about the right hire than the fastest hire)

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • You'll have a fantastic boss & a fabulous team (I cannot emphasize this enough)
  • A company and brand you are proud to represent and excited to be part of every day
  • You’re trusted to run your desk like a business
  • No volume recruiting. No spray-and-pray
  • Smart clients, interesting roles, and high expectations (in a good way)
  • Flexibility, autonomy, and room to grow
  • A team that values quality, integrity, and results
  • Competitive salary & comprehensive benefits plans + opportunity for growth
  • & MUCH more

Bottom line: If you’re the kind of recruiter who takes pride in delivering standout talent, building long-term relationships, and doing the job the right way, we’d love to talk.
