Executive Recruiter
Posted 2026-05-05
This is a remote position.
Role Overview
Our client is 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 volume-based sourcing position.
As an Executive Recruiter, 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 role intake and strategy to candidate assessment, client advisory, and offer support.
This role is ideal for a recruiter who values quality over quantity, exercises strong judgment, and is comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced, remote environment.
