About the Role

~4 min read

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to lead and scale our Talent Acquisition organization as we grow.

This is an opportunity for a recruiting leader who enjoys building—not just maintaining—a TA function. You will lead a team of recruiters and sourcers, improve how we identify and engage talent, build scalable recruiting processes, and help create an organization that can support increasingly ambitious hiring goals.

You will report to the Director of Talent Acquisition and own the day-to-day leadership and operation of the TA function, while partnering with the Director on broader TA strategy and high-level decisions.

This is not primarily a hands-on recruiting role. Instead, you'll be responsible for making the team and the overall recruiting function more effective.

Lead, coach, and develop a team of recruiters and sourcers.

Build an effective operating model between sourcing and recruiting and continuously improve how the team works.

Develop and improve sourcing strategies for both active and passive candidates, particularly for difficult-to-fill roles.

Use data and recruiting analytics to understand what is working and identify opportunities to improve.

Explore practical applications of AI and emerging recruiting technology to improve sourcing, research, outreach, and efficiency.

Build scalable recruiting processes, screening frameworks, interview rubric templates, and best practices.

Drive consistent adoption of effective interviewing and candidate assessment practices across the organization.

Help develop and roll out interviewer training, including behavioral interviewing.

Partner with business leaders on workforce planning and determine the TA resources needed to support company growth.

Lead internship and new-grad recruiting programs as they scale.

Manage recruiting agencies and other external recruiting partners when they are needed.

Oversee key recruiting operations, including requisition and offer processes.

Serve as a trusted thought partner to the Director of Talent Acquisition and business leaders, bringing thoughtful analysis, sound judgment, and practical recommendations to recruiting challenges.

We're less concerned with a specific number of years of experience than with what you've demonstrated you can do.

You may come from a traditional corporate TA organization, an agency environment, or another recruiting environment where you've had meaningful responsibility for teams, strategy, or operations. What matters is that you have demonstrated the ability to:

Lead and develop recruiting professionals.

Think strategically while translating ideas into practical execution.

Make sound decisions and exercise strong business judgment.

Build processes that make teams more effective without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Prioritize effectively and stay organized while managing multiple competing priorities.

Use data to understand recruiting performance and make better decisions.

Communicate clearly and confidently with recruiters, hiring managers, and senior leaders.

Solve problems logically and independently.

Adapt quickly as priorities and business needs change.

Create a positive, supportive, and accountable team environment

Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement.

Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
