You'll be at the helm of the entire recruitment process, from forging connections and orchestrating events to executing high-impact outreach and ensuring candidate conversion.

Forget about fancy dinners and branded giveaways; it's all about achieving results. You'll enjoy full autonomy, a competitive budget, and crystal-clear objectives, all while working with the best in the field.
If you thrive on challenges, take ownership of your success, and have a knack for identifying and securing exceptional CS talent, this is the opportunity for you.
Here's what you need to know:
- Annual salary: $75,000, plus all travel expenses covered

- Depending on a logistics team for execution; you will personally handle room bookings, swag shipments, and catering arrangements
