Executive Recruiter

What You'll Do:

• Lead the research and early outreach on senior and executive-level searches

• Map talent across our space, uncovering strong candidates in unexpected places — overlooked companies, direct competitors, adjacent industries

• Think beyond LinkedIn Recruiter — tapping into industry communities, warm networks, referrals, and other creative channels to find talent others miss

• Be the first voice a candidate hears from us — credible outreach and initial phone screens before handoff

• Maintain clean, accurate pipelines in Ashby so nothing falls through the cracks

• Help shape job specs, scorecards, and other search materials alongside our recruiters

• Bring market and comp insight to the table to sharpen sourcing strategy

• Share what you learn from each search to keep our playbook — and our talent database — growing

• Team up with recruiters, hiring managers, and partners across the business as each search calls for it

• Take on more full-cycle ownership of executive searches over time, as your scope grows with the role

• Other duties as assigned.

Who You Are:

• 4+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience — no executive search firm background required, but you understand what it takes to earn a senior leader's attention

• A natural at engaging senior and C-level candidates: clear, confident, and fluent enough in our business strategy to make the case to talent who isn't actively looking

• Sharp instincts and sound judgment — you know which questions actually reveal fit, and you're not afraid to push back when something doesn't add up

• Curious and resourceful; every search looks different, and you genuinely enjoy the hunt for where to look next

• Discreet and trustworthy with confidential searches and sensitive information

• Self-motivated and organized, with a genuine desire to grow from sourcing into full-cycle executive recruiting

• Proficient with an ATS (we use Ashby) — you know how to use it to keep a search sharp, not just organized
