Own full-cycle recruiting for 8-12 roles annually across marketing, sales, creative, and operations. Source candidates, conduct first-round screens and assessments, coordinate interviews and offers, run reference checks, build a candidate bench, and track hiring metrics (time-to-fill, sourcing ROI, offer-accept rate, 90-day retention).
Location: Remote - US only
Compensation: $65-85K base + bonus per successful hire
We're a remote-first marketing agency growing quickly and we need a Talent Acquisition Manager to own our entire hiring engine. You'll be the first full-time recruiter on the team, reporting directly to the founder, and your work will directly determine how fast we can grow.
This is a high-ownership role. You'll source, screen, and shortlist candidates across marketing, sales, creative, and operations roles - and you'll build a pipeline so we're never hiring reactively.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN -
- Full-cycle recruiting for 8–12 roles per year across paid media, video editing, account management, sales, and operations
- Sourcing across LinkedIn Recruiter, Wellfound, Indeed, and niche agency communities
- First-round screening calls and written candidate assessments
- Interview loop coordination, reference checks, and offer logistics
- Building and maintaining a bench of pre-qualified candidates
- Tracking and reporting on time-to-fill, sourcing channel ROI, offer-accept rate, and 90-day retention
Requirements
- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a marketing agency, SaaS company, or remote-first business
- A track record of filling roles in under 30 days
- Strong written communication - async-first culture
- Comfort owning both high-volume sourcing AND high-judgment screening
- US-based with availability during 9am–5pm CT core hours
HOW TO APPLY
As part of this application, you'll be asked to submit a short Loom video answering a few short questions about your recruiting experience. The Loom is required - applications without it may not be reviewed. We use the Loom to assess communication skills and role fit before scheduling interviews.
