Job Description


Recruiting Manager — Lead, Scale & Elevate Talent Acquisition


About Us

We’re a fast-scaling, founder-led company helping law firms grow with offshore legal talent. We move fast, aim high, and expect excellence. Our team is global, but our culture is close-knit, high-trust, and built on results—not red tape.


The Role

We’re hiring a Recruiting Manager to lead our recruitment team, build scalable systems, and drive hiring outcomes across the company.

This isn’t just about filling roles. You’ll manage a team of recruiters, improve performance, build recruiting strategies, and make sure the right people are hired—fast, consistently, and at scale.

You’ll work closely with leadership to forecast hiring needs, optimize processes, implement KPIs, and ensure every candidate experience reflects our standards and values.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead, manage, and mentor a team of recruiters across multiple time zones
  • Own recruiting performance—time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, pipeline health, and team productivity
  • Build and refine recruiting systems, scorecards, interview flows, and sourcing strategies
  • Partner with leadership to forecast hiring needs and align recruiting priorities accordingly
  • Implement KPIs, dashboards, and weekly performance reviews for the recruiting team
  • Ensure strong talent pipelines through proactive sourcing and headhunting initiatives
  • Oversee candidate experience—from first touch to offer acceptance and handoff to onboarding
  • Improve tools, automation, and workflows to make recruiting faster and more accurate
  • Handle escalation points—difficult roles, candidate issues, or team underperformance
  • Collaborate with marketing to build employer brand assets and campaigns


You’ll Thrive Here If You…

  • Have led a recruiting team and can drive results—not just manage tasks
  • Love building systems, optimizing processes, and tracking metrics
  • Think strategically but aren’t afraid to jump into the trenches when needed
  • Hold your team accountable but also coach them to grow and succeed
  • Move fast, communicate clearly, and solve problems before they grow
  • Believe recruiting is both a science (data, systems, KPIs) and an art (people, intuition)
  • Are comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment


This Isn’t for You If…

  • You’ve never managed other recruiters
  • You wait for direction instead of creating direction
  • You don’t track metrics or believe recruiting performance should be measured
  • You avoid hard conversations or accountability
  • You prefer slow-moving corporate environments


Requirements

  • 2+ years managing a team of recruiters (agency or in-house)
  • Proven success hiring at volume and improving recruiting systems
  • Strong understanding of recruitment metrics, sourcing strategies, and hiring funnels
  • Experience building scorecards, interview structures, and hiring workflows
  • Comfortable with recruitment tools (ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, KPI dashboards, etc.)
  • Experience in high-growth, remote, or startup environments preferred
  • Legal industry or offshore staffing experience is a plus, not required


What We Offer

  • High-ownership leadership role with strategic impact
  • A recruiting team that’s ready to be led, developed, and optimized
  • Close collaboration with the CEO and leadership team
  • Fully remote environment with flexibility and autonomy
  • Competitive compensation + performance-based bonuses
  • Paid time off & health/wellness stipend
  • Ongoing training and growth opportunities
