This is a player coach role. You will personally recruit for critical roles while managing and developing 2 to 3 recruiters. You are accountable for talent quality, hiring velocity, and team output.

    • Recruiting Systems and Process

  • Own the ATS and ensure clean data and accurate reporting
  • Build and refine recruiting workflows, scorecards, and interview guides
  • Create repeatable playbooks for recurring roles such as SDRs, AEs, PMs, and specialists
  • Continuously improve recruiting efficiency and decision clarity

    • Hiring Manager Enablement

  • Train hiring managers on structured interviewing and evaluation
  • Ensure hiring managers provide timely and meaningful feedback
  • Hold hiring managers accountable to recruiting timelines and decisions
  • Act as a thought partner on final hiring calls

    • Employer Brand and Candidate Experience

  • Ensure candidates have a clear and honest view of expectations and culture
  • Maintain a professional, direct, and respectful candidate experience
  • Protect Blacksmith Agency's reputation as a selective and well run company

    • Onboarding Handoff and Feedback Loop

  • Partner with operations and leadership on clean onboarding handoffs
  • Track early performance and retention of new hires
  • Use post hire outcomes to refine screening criteria and recruiter coaching

    • Success Metrics

  • Quality of hire and early performance outcomes
  • Time to fill and pipeline health
  • Recruiter productivity and consistency
  • Hiring manager satisfaction
  • Reduction in mis hires and early churn

    • Ideal Background

    • Personal Traits That Matter Here

  • High ownership and high standards
  • Direct, calm, and decisive communicator
  • Strong people judgment and pattern recognition
