You are around 2-3 years into a talent acquisition career focused on technical recruiting
Output Driven: You are hungry to learn and grow fast—and have a track record of exceeding quotas and expectations. (You recognize this role is a stepping stone to your dream job)
Technical fluency: Proficient in a modern recruiting stack (and critical of their limitations), a demonstrated track record in early tool adoption, and a love for automating repetitive recruiting tasks. (We will test many tools for ourselves & the portfolio to streamline workflows)
An ethic of excellence: You take pride in your work and want to build an A Player resume… … and have a reputation for positively improving the processes, systems, and teams you are a part of. (Your current team and manager should be sad to see you departing but excited for what you will do next)
High velocity ownership: You don't just have ideas, you implement them. You know when & how to escalate vs fix independently. (You can take partially baked ideas and bring them across the finish line.)
