Recruiter (automotive)

Posted Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 7:00 AM Are you a recruiter who loves the human side of the job? Do you get a thrill from building relationships and understanding people's motivations, and making perfect matches? Are you looking for opportunities to nurture pipelines? We’re not your typical staffing agency. We’re building the future of recruiting, and we need a Future-Forward Recruiter who shares our vision. Our custom-built, AI-powered platform and automation tools handle the tedious work of sourcing, screening, and matching, so you can focus on what you do best: being human. About the Role: As a Recruiter, you'll be at the forefront of our business, leveraging our proprietary technology to connect top-tier professionals with roles at the world’s leading brands. This isn't a transactional role. We're looking for someone who is innately curious, driven by a sense of urgency, and fearless in building relationships. You will be empowered by our technology, which integrates with the top candidate sources and job boards, to quickly identify and engage with a curated pool of highly qualified talent. This means less time on repetitive data entry and more time building genuine connections. While this role is talent-focused, you'll also be a key player in client engagement. You’ll become a true expert in specific industries and functional areas, building deep knowledge and understanding of our clients' unique needs and company cultures. The Startup Mindset: You’ll be instrumental in growing and expanding a market from the ground up. This role calls for a proactive, highly resourceful builder who thinks creatively about sourcing talent rather than just posting a job and waiting for applicants to appear. We’re looking for a recruiter who drives progress and takes immediate initiative rather than waiting for things to happen. What You’ll Do Develop Tech-Enabled Talent Pools: Identify unique recruiting sources to proactively build geography- and category-based Talent Pools that anticipate client requirements. Leverage AI Technology: Use our cutting-edge technology to efficiently source, screen, and present the best-matched candidates. Our platform handles the bulk of the manual work, freeing you up for high-impact activities. Be a Human Connector: Engage deeply with candidates to understand their career goals, motivations, and aspirations beyond what is written on their resume. Your ability to build rapid rapport and credibility is paramount. Build Client Relationships: Work directly with clients to understand their business needs, team dynamics, and specific requirements. Your human insights will be crucial in making successful, long-lasting placements. Become an Industry Expert: Develop deep knowledge of specific sectors and functional areas, allowing you to speak fluently and confidently with both executive clients and top-tier candidates. Influence and Advise: Use your market expertise and emotional intelligence to advise candidates on their career paths and consult clients on their overall talent strategies. Who You Are: A Proactive Driver: You possess a "startup" mentality. You don't wait for direction or wait for applicants to come to you; you think outside the box, hunt creatively, and make things happen. A Relationship Builder: You have a proven ability to build trust and rapport quickly with a diverse range of people. Innately Curious: You ask probing questions and are genuinely interested in learning about people, industries, and emerging companies. A Fearless Communicator: You are confident in making cold outreaches, picking up the phone, and building credibility from scratch. A Quick Learner: You’re excited by the prospect of adopting new technologies and constantly adapting to an ever-evolving recruiting landscape. Driven by Urgency: You have a strong internal clock and are energized by a fast-paced, high-growth environment. An Influencer: You have the ability to articulate value, handle objections, and influence decisions through compelling communication. Have Enterprise Level Experience: You understand the complexities and nuances of working inside a large enterprise company where relationships are key. Why Join Us? This is an opportunity to get ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing industry. You’ll be part of a team that is actively redefining recruiting, equipped with powerful tools that free you from the mundane. You’ll work in a role that values your human skills—your empathy, your curiosity, and your ability to connect—more than ever before.
