Talent Acquisition Partner

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for Community Manager-level and above positions, including regional and portfolio-level roles, as well as other priority searches assigned by the Talent Acquisition Manager.
• Source and engage high-performing talent and partner with hiring managers and HR People Partners to define the skills and experience needed for each role.
• Build a real understanding of how our different markets differ (talent supply, compensation norms, competitive landscape, seasonality) and adjust sourcing and pitch accordingly.
• Act as a strong partner to hiring managers and regional leaders, advising on hiring strategy rather than only filling open requisitions.
• Ability to travel to multiple locations to host onsite job fairs.

• Help improve and standardize recruiting processes, identifying opportunities to increase efficiency through technology and automation.
• Support the Talent Acquisition Manager in optimizing recruiting technology, workflows, automation, and candidate experience.
• Assist in creating workflows and automated interview kits and questions for high-volume, high-turnover role categories (e.g., leasing, maintenance, community management) as well as more selective processes for senior hires.
• Track, analyze, and report on recruiting metrics, including pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, cost-per-hire, and quality-of-hire.
• Document recruiting workflows and processes to support consistency across markets.
• Identify recruiting inefficiencies and recommend opportunities for automation, technology, or process improvement to the Talent Acquisition Manager.
• Stay current on recruiting technology and multifamily/property-management hiring trends, particularly anything relevant to high-volume, multi-market hiring.

• Consistently strong quality-of-hire and retention in the roles you fill, alongside fast fill times.
• Consistent use of recruiting processes and technology that supports an efficient hiring experience.
• Time-to-fill and cost-per-hire trending down as automation takes hold.
• Hiring managers and regional leaders who see you as a strategic partner in hiring decisions.
• Regular recommendations for recruiting process, technology, and automation improvements.

• 3 - 6 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally including high-volume or multi-site hiring (property management, hospitality, retail, healthcare, or similar industries welcome).
• Experience improving recruiting processes and leveraging recruiting technology to increase efficiency, consistency, and candidate experience.
• Hands-on experience with an ATS — we currently use Greenhouse, so direct experience there is a strong plus — along with a working knowledge of sourcing, scheduling, and workflow-automation tools.
• Comfort with data: you can build and read a recruiting dashboard, and you make decisions from it.
• The judgment to know what to automate, what still needs a human touch, and when a process is genuinely ready to scale.
• Strong stakeholder management skills: you can influence regional and site-level leaders who don't report to you.
• Understanding (or a fast ability to learn) how recruiting needs differ across geographic markets: labor supply, comp benchmarks, competitive dynamics.

• Experience recruiting specifically for multifamily, affordable housing, or property management roles.
• Experience with Workday.
• Experience with AI-powered sourcing, screening, or scheduling tools.
• Experience recruiting across a large multi-state footprint.

Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location. Our goal is to ensure competitive total compensation that is commensurate with experience, location, and other market benchmarks.
