Zipdev is looking for a sharp, high-potential recruiting leader to own and elevate our talent fulfillment organization.
We are not looking for someone to simply supervise an already functioning recruiting team. We want someone who has lived recruiting, succeeded personally as a recruiter, progressed into leadership, and is ready to take the next major step in their career.
The ideal candidate may currently be a Recruiting Manager, Senior Recruiting Manager, Practice Manager, Branch Manager, Market Manager, or early-stage Director within a staffing or recruiting agency. They have built credibility by doing the work themselves and have since demonstrated an ability to make other recruiters better.
This person will inherit an established remote team of recruiters, sourcers, and Talent Success professionals across Latin America. Their mandate is simple: Take a good talent organization and make it exceptional.
They will own recruiting performance from the moment a client opens a position through placement, while also overseeing the success and retention of Zipdev talent currently working with our clients.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than another management position. The will have a seat at the leadership table and the autonomy to shape how Zipdev recruits, develops, measures, and retains talent as we continue to scale.
