    Job Description

    Who You Are

    You’re a recruiter who runs toward hard searches, not away from them. You don’t wait for a hiring manager to tell you the pipeline is thin; you’ve already been building it. You care about candidate experience not because someone told you to, but because you know it directly reflects the company you’re representing.

    Specifically, you’re someone who:

    • Thinks in pipelines , not just requisitions. You’re always sourcing , even when there’s no open role yet.

    • Owns the outcome. You’re not waiting for candidates to find you. You go get them, passive outreach , creative Boolean searches, referral networks, all of it.

    • Builds real relationships with hiring managers, not just transactional status updates. You push back when a job description is unrealistic and earn trust by delivering.

    • Has range. You’re as comfortable recruiting a software engineer as you are a sales rep or a licensed nurse consultant. You learn what good looks like in each function and apply it.

    • Moves with urgency and doesn’t let candidates go dark. You know a slow process loses great people.

    • Keeps your house in order. Your ATS is current , your pipelines are documented, and you can tell a hiring manager exactly where every candidate stands without hesitating.

    The Role

    You’ll own full-cycle hiring for our most strategic and specialized roles — sales, software engineering, product, legal nurse consulting, and marketing — partnering directly with hiring managers and the VP of People to build the team that powers our next phase of growth.

    What You’ll Do

    • Meet with hiring managers to understand what they actually need (not just what’s in the job description) and build a search strategy from there

    • Source candidates proactively, LinkedIn outreach, networking, referrals, so you’re never starting from zero when a role opens

    • Keep a live sales talent pipeline at all times; sales is always recruiting, and you’ll be the engine that makes that possible

    • Screen candidates over the phone, use AI to complete full assessments, and give hiring managers a real recommendation, not just a summary

    • Coordinate interviews, prep candidates, and keep everyone on track so the process doesn’t slow down unnecessarily

    • Administer pre-employment assessments for applicable roles and help interpret results alongside the hiring team

    • Conduct structured reference checks for finalist candidates

    • Extend and negotiate offers; close candidates with confidence and honesty

    • Keep SmartRecruiters (our ATS) organized and current, so nothing falls through the cracks

    • Track your metrics, time-to-fill, source of hire, offer acceptance rate, and use the data to keep improving

    • Represent Expert Institute well to every candidate, every time, regardless of the outcome

  • Qualifications

    Qualifications

    What We’re Looking For

    You bring:

    • At least 2–3 years of full-cycle recruiting experience , either in-house or at an agency

    • A real track record closing candidates for specialized or technical roles — not just high-volume, easy-to-fill positions

    • Strong LinkedIn Recruiter skills and comfort with Boolean search and AI tools to make the process efficient

    • Experience working in an ATS — SmartRecruiters is a plus

    • Communication skills that work at every level: a skeptical senior candidate, an impatient hiring manager, a nervous new grad

    • The ability to manage multiple open roles at once without losing detail or momentum on any of them

    Even better if you have:

    • Background in legal tech, SaaS, or professional services

    • Familiarity with structured pre-employment assessments (Criteria, OMG, Kolbe, or similar)
