ABOUT OUR PARTNER 

We're partnering with a fast-growing, performance-driven professional services firm headquartered in Costa Mesa, CA. The firm is building the talent pipelines to support its current growth and future business needs.

The culture rewards results. Recruiters here are treated as true talent partners, not order-takers.

WHY CANDIDATES LEAN IN

• Real Recruiting, Not Admin Work:This is a hunter's seat. You'll spend your time sourcing, building relationships, and closing talent rather than processing paperwork or waiting on applicants. 
  
• Visible Impact and Influence: You'll report directly to the VP of People & Culture and partner closely with hiring managers. You'll shape employer brand, interview practices, and recruiting strategy across the firm.
  
• Performance-Based Upside: You'll get a wide compensation range based on experience and an unlimited vacation policy tied to hitting your goals. Firm paid dental, vision, and life insurance start about 60 days.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS REALLY ABOUT

It's not a post-and-pray mindset. It's a "lock in and execute" mindset. 

Most of your hiring will cover administrative, customer service, and operational roles, with occasional attorney and paralegal searches. You'll juggle multiple requisitions at once and proactively source talent instead of relying on inbound applicants.

Success is measured by hiring results, speed, quality of hire, and candidate experience. It is also measured by the strength of the pipelines you build for future needs.
