We are looking for a Leadership Recruiter, where you’ll partner directly with executives and senior leaders to identify and hire exceptional leadership talent across the company
You’ll operate as an internal executive search partner, owning searches from profile development and deep market research and mapping through candidate engagement, assessment, and close

Develop and continuously refine hypotheses around where the strongest talent is likely to sit, using candidate conversations and market intelligence to improve the search
Translate research into actionable market insights for hiring executives, including talent availability, compensation, organizational structures, candidate patterns, and potential tradeoffs
Proactively identify and engage passive leadership candidates through thoughtful, highly personalized outreach and relationship building
Conduct substantive candidate conversations that assess leadership trajectory, scope, impact, motivations, and alignment with the opportunity
Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring executives throughout the search, providing market intelligence, candidate calibration, and recommendations rather than simply facilitating the process

Maintain a high bar for candidate experience and discretion, particularly for confidential or highly sensitive searches
Build long-term relationships with exceptional leaders who may become relevant to the company over time
