About
We are seeking an experienced Executive Recruiter to lead high-impact searches for senior, specialist, and business-critical roles across multiple industries. This is a consultative recruitment role, not a high-volume sourcing position.
In this role, you will partner directly with founders, executives, and senior stakeholders to understand business needs, define success profiles, and deliver top-tier talent. You will own searches end-to-end—from intake and strategy to candidate assessment, client advisory, and offer support.
This position is ideal for a recruiter who values quality over quantity, exercises strong judgment, and thrives in a fast-paced, remote environment.

- Provide regular updates, feedback summaries, and hiring recommendations
- Support offer negotiations and hiring decisions
