About the Role

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager. This person will be responsible for recruiting high quality Striders to keep up with demand.

The Talent Acquisition Manager will:

• Lead our team of Talent Acquisition Partners to source, engage, interview, and hire the best technical candidates in the country (developers, devops engineers, product managers).
• Play a critical role in Systeck’s success. As a professional services business, we cannot grow without hiring. You’ll play a key role in our growth.
• Ensure that every candidate has a positive and engaging experience. This means candidates we decide not to move forward with will leave having a greater passion for Systeck because of your ability to build relationships with them.
• Own the candidate experience from start to finish, make sure it runs smoothly and candidates and interviewers have all the information they need at every step.
• Work with our executives, consultants and technical recruiters to:
  • Determine who to advance through our process and how to evaluate candidates at each step along the way.
  • Run continual experiments on improving our hiring process
  • Roll up your sleeves and be a do’er as well as a leader
• Take a data based, yet innovative approach to improving our recruiting process –
  • Where are the bottlenecks?
  • How can we decrease the time of getting the candidate through each stage?
  • How can we improve the quality of the candidates reaching the later stages of the pipeline?
  • What activities have the best ROI? What should we start doing that we aren’t doing now? What’s the best use of our time?
  • Understand how and when to perform exit interviews for candidates who decline offers

• You embody our five core values: Honesty, Humility, Respect, Willingness to help others, and Learning from failure.
• You have a serious (read: 7+ year) track record of sourcing and hiring top talent for a variety of technical roles
• You rarely lose candidates mid-process and when you do, you can explain why
• Candidates walk away from phone screens with you excited about the role and eager for next steps
• You have a desire to learn and get more involved in people ops/human resources
• You’re data driven – you’re obsessed with charts that go up and to the right.
• When your charts don’t go up and to the right, you test different solutions until they do.

• You’re an expert at modern recruiting and business tools (Greenhouse, LinkedIn, G-Suite, etc)
• You’re a natural networker – cultivating a wide circle of relationships comes naturally to you and is enjoyable for you.
• You’re a builder: writing the playbook excites you more than running the plays.(And you can tell us about how you’ve done this in the past)

What we have to offer

• Serious career growth in the form of an opportunity to materially impact the growth of a bootstrapped tech company
• Top-of-market culture – we have a 4.9 star rating on glassdoor
