The Company You’ll Join: At Veris Insights, our mission is to build an exceptional firm dedicated to improving the world of work. Through granular candidate insights, comprehensive employer benchmarking, ongoing market intelligence, strategic guidance, and recruiting feedback platforms, we're redefining how North America's leading organizations approach recruiting, employer branding, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and talent management. We partner with hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies, setting a new standard for research, analytics, and insights in university recruiting. Our research shapes the strategic narratives talent leaders rely on to make critical decisions, uniquely positioning us at the forefront of the industry.


The Team You’ll Join: The Custom Insights team provides customized, actionable research tailored specifically to each of our employer partners. We focus on gathering pivotal candidate data at critical decision-making points—the decision to apply, the decision to accept an offer, and the internship experience—to deliver bespoke insights and strategic recommendations that significantly enhance candidate experiences and recruitment outcomes.


As a Senior Research Consultant, you will independently lead customized research projects from conception through delivery. You’ll partner directly with senior-level stakeholders at some of the nation’s most prominent organizations, serving as their trusted advisor on critical recruitment strategy and candidate experience decisions.


How You’ll Grow: The Custom Insights team is one of the most dynamic and impactful groups at Veris Insights, encompassing strategic client engagement, data-driven research design, and influential presentation delivery. You'll collaborate closely with senior leaders to manage and deliver customized research projects including independently shaping survey methodologies to clients needs, owning client interactions, and confidently delivering bespoke research projects to executive stakeholders. You’ll have exposure to an array of growth opportunities, from building trusted advisory relationships to mastering research design and strategic storytelling. No one day looks like another, and opportunities for skill growth are incredibly varied in nature.
