Talent Acquisition Manager

About the Role

As a Talent Acquisition Manager, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting while serving as a trusted talent partner to hiring managers across the organization. You’ll develop recruiting and sourcing strategies, build relationships with prospective talent, and lead searches from kickoff through hire.

This role is for someone who enjoys recruiting, sourcing, relationship building, and problem solving. You won’t simply execute a hiring process. You’ll be expected to ask thoughtful questions, bring a point of view, challenge assumptions when appropriate, recognize when a strategy isn’t working, and recommend a better path forward.

You’ll also think beyond today's open roles. You’ll proactively identify and engage talent in the markets and industries important to Scorpion, including leveraging company-attended partnership and industry events to create new opportunities for relationship building and talent engagement.

You’ll have the opportunity to help shape how we recruit at Scorpion by continuously improving our sourcing strategies, processes, technology, candidate experience, and approach to building strong and diverse talent pipelines, all while maintaining fair and consistent hiring practices.
