Job Description Summary
Cedar Investment Group is developing large-scale data center infrastructure for the next generation of AI and high-performance computing. As our business and project portfolio continue to grow, we’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to help us build the team that will deliver it.
This is an opportunity for an experienced recruiter to take meaningful ownership of talent acquisition within a growing organization. You’ll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership, lead searches across a range of professional and technical functions and help us continue building a scalable recruiting function.
Job Description
What You’ll Do
- Lead full-cycle recruiting across Development, Construction / Project Management, Engineering, Finance & Accounting, Investments, Procurement, Corporate Operations, and Executive Leadership.
- Partner with hiring managers to understand talent needs, develop recruiting strategies, and identify and engage high-quality candidates.
- Build proactive talent pipelines for specialized and difficult-to-fill positions, reducing reliance on external search firms.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers throughout the interview and selection process, providing market intelligence, candidate insights, and recommendations.
- Develop offer strategies and lead candidate offer discussions and negotiations in partnership with HR and hiring managers.
- Maintain Cedar’s staffing plan and partner with HR and Finance to ensure recruiting activity remains aligned with approved headcount and budgets.
- Use recruiting analytics—including time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, pipeline health, offer acceptance, and agency utilization—to identify opportunities and improve results.
- Help continuously improve our recruiting processes, candidate experience, employer brand, and use of Workday Recruiting as Cedar grows.
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting or talent acquisition experience.
- Experience recruiting professional, technical, or specialized positions within construction, development, engineering, real estate, infrastructure, or a related environment.
- Strong direct sourcing skills and experience engaging passive candidates.
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple searches and partner effectively with hiring managers and senior leaders.
- Experience developing and negotiating candidate offers.
- Strong communication, relationship-building, organization, and business judgment.
- A proactive approach and interest in helping build and improve a growing talent acquisition function.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant professional experience.
What Would Be Great to Have
Experience with Workday Recruiting is strongly preferred. Experience recruiting within data centers, mission-critical infrastructure, or large-scale development and construction is also a plus, as is experience with workforce planning, recruiting analytics, and agency management.
Why Cedar
At Cedar, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact beyond filling requisitions. You’ll help shape how we attract talent, partner with our leaders, build our teams, and scale our recruiting capabilities as the company grows.
How we work is grounded in the Cedar Core: Engage. Elevate. Execute. Deliver Value. We build strong relationships, challenge ourselves to raise the standard, take ownership of execution, and stay focused on creating meaningful value.
