Our primary focus is assisting students in applying to U.S. Colleges and Graduate schools. Our company is fast-paced and exciting. We operate as a team, and everyone is given opportunities to advance in the organization.
We are looking for a leader to design and execute a forward-looking talent strategy that aligns with our business goals. As the Director of Recruiting, you will take full ownership of the recruiting department, while establishing practical processes across workforce planning, onboarding, and succession. You will thrive in this role if you enjoy fast-paced environments, lead by example, use data to drive decisions, and can balance high-level execution with leadership.

Requirements

• Bring 10 or more years of experience in talent acquisition and resourcing within consulting, professional services, or delivery-based environments.
• Have a background includes at least 7 years of progressive growth with 4 or more years spent leading teams in fast-paced startup settings.

• Lead the organization with calm and credibility, moving the organization from urgency-driven hiring toward thoughtful, proactive planning

Responsibilities

• Design a comprehensive talent strategy aligned with the company mission and growth objectives.

You will evolve our model to support complex senior-level hiring, mentoring the team to abandon repetitive volume tactics in favor of bespoke, high-conversion strategies for top-tier leadership talent.
• Drive executive alignment through data-backed storytelling. You will redefine our reporting standards to focus on actionable insights rather than status updates, identifying gaps in our current datasets and presenting proactive solutions to leadership to accelerate hiring velocity.
• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and executive team, shaping hiring strategies and navigating workforce planning tradeoffs.
• Lead recruiting for high-impact roles across sales, marketing, and education, ensuring a seamless journey for every candidate.
• Build diverse talent pipelines by scouting for "grit" and looking both within and outside traditional industry boundaries.
• Manage the ATS and recruiting tools to ensure they remain scalable and data-driven
