Director of Talent Acquisition

Director of Talent Acquisition FrontSteps, a profitable high-growth industry leader, is seeking their first Director of Talent Acquisition to partner directly with the CEO and build the best team in the game. This is a hands-on recruiting seat, not a management layer. You carry the reqs, you work the phones, and you close.

The mandate is simple and it is measured: raise talent density by bringing in exceptional talent at all times, across every function, faster and better than the competition can. Talent gaps rarely close on their own, so this role acts with urgency and conviction rather than waiting for the market to deliver. What You Will Own: Full-cycle recruiting, end to end and on-site.

You personally source, screen, assess, and close talent from individual contributor through VP and executive leadership. Pipeline building. Proactive outbound sourcing of passive, top-performing candidates and a standing bench of talent for the roles the business will need next, not just the ones open today. Hiring manager partnership.

Set the bar with each functional leader, write the scorecard, run the process, and hold the line on quality. Offers and closing. Market data, leveling, and offer construction that wins the candidates you want without breaking the bands. Recruiting operations and employer brand. The ATS, the sourcing stack, the metrics that drive data-driven hiring decisions, and the story that makes this company worth joining.

Speed and cost. Own time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, and the elimination of agency spend.
