Here at Hiretalent, we are passionate about matching talented candidates with the best companies out there. Diversity is part of our DNA. We work with many Fortune 500 companies and high-profile startups to fill their most challenging positions, and we pride ourselves in forging strong relationships with both candidates and hiring managers. This time, we want to match a fantastic candidate with ourselves. We are open to various locations for this role. Position could be located in either NYC, St Louis, Nashville, Washington DC, Philadelphia, San Diego, Cleaveland, Seattle or Phoenix. You will be part of a team focusing on permanent placements across our client portfolio. Responsibilities include sourcing for candidates, assessing their skillset and fit in an interview, presenting candidates to our clients, setting up interviews, and (the best part) offering a candidate his or her new job. All in a day's work!

What Makes You Successful Here

• You're an adaptable, quick learner. If you come across a job or industry you are not familiar with, your first instinct is to do some research to understand what you are dealing with.
• You're a good team player. While we all work individually on our own jobs, we are happy to help and share our expertise with each other.
• You're professional and attentive to detail. There's nothing worse than a recruiter who makes spelling mistakes in an email, or who doesn't follow up with candidates. Email and phone etiquette are key.
• You're great at reading people. We deal with all sorts of personalities, quirks, and demands from candidates and clients alike. Be ready to put on your game face and deal with any and all challenges in a professional manner.
