Talent Acquisition Manager

You will partner closely with leaders by understanding what their teams need, bringing perspective on the talent market, and helping them make thoughtful hiring decisions. At the same time, you will continue building a talent acquisition function that can grow with the organization, creating the right amount of structure, developing stronger talent pipelines, and finding better ways to work as our needs evolve. 

This role is a strong fit for someone who sees talent acquisition as more than filling open positions. You are curious about what makes an organization successful, willing to challenge an approach that is not working, and energized by the opportunity to build while you execute. 

What You’ll Do

Build a Scalable Talent Acquisition Function

• Own and continuously improve Profound’s talent acquisition approach, creating practical systems and processes that support quality, consistency, and growth without unnecessary complexity

• Anticipate how recruiting needs will evolve as the organization grows and build the infrastructure, tools, and practices needed to support that growth

• Evaluate and improve how we use recruiting technology, external partners, sourcing support, and other resources to create an effective and flexible TA model

Recruit Exceptional Talent

• Lead full-cycle recruiting across the organization, adapting sourcing and recruiting strategies based on the role, talent market, and business need

• Build strong talent pipelines for recurring, difficult-to-fill, and strategically important roles while remaining hands-on in sourcing, assessment, and candidate engagement

• Deliver a thoughtful candidate experience that reflects Profound’s culture, values, and expectations while maintaining appropriate urgency and a high bar for talent

Partner With Leaders to Make Better Hiring Decisions

• Serve as a trusted talent advisor to hiring managers, helping them define what success requires and translate business needs into effective recruiting strategies

• Bring external market perspective, challenge assumptions when needed, and help leaders make thoughtful decisions about candidate profiles, assessment, and selection

• Strengthen hiring capability across Profound by creating clear expectations and giving managers the coaching, tools, and support they need to hire well

Use Talent Insights to Drive Better Outcomes

• Maintain a clear view of current and anticipated hiring demand, recruiting capacity, and talent-market conditions so risks and constraints can be addressed early

• Use meaningful recruiting data and patterns to understand what is working, diagnose challenges, and recommend changes that improve hiring outcomes

• Make thoughtful recommendations about where internal resources, sourcing support, agencies, or other flexible capacity will create the greatest value
