Recruitment Lead

Emerson Croft is looking for a Recruitment Lead to join our staff and help build world-class remote-first teams.

We occupy a unique niche in the talent-sourcing world. Even before COVID-19 reshaped the way we work, Emerson Croft was betting on the power of remote work to build teams that are happier, more productive, and more diverse. As a recruitment lead on our team, you’ll be responsible for building a new kind of sourcing, where candidates are enticed by the chance to control their own working lives while working on problems that reduce aggregate human suffering. There’s still a lot of unexplored space in fully remote recruiting, and we’re counting on you to lead us there.

For this role, we’re looking for candidates with hard-earned experience, won through multiple project successes and even a few failures. On our recruitment team, you’ll get to apply that experience in a dynamic, challenging environment. Senior leadership will regularly need your input on both day-to-day processes and long-term strategy.

Our culture encourages you to take the initiative, push back against leadership, and focus on deliverables. Working remotely, you’ll have near-total control over your time. Use your ops experience to make an impact — contact us about this role today.
