Senior Corporate Recruiter & Lead Sourcer (6-Month Project)

Fairfield County, CT

Hybrid

Duration: 6+ Months (Consulting Engagement)

The Mission

We are a global consumer products powerhouse in a state of rapid scale. To meet our growth targets, we are moving away from passive "resume gathering" and shifting toward a true headhunting model. We need a high-energy, agency-bred recruiter who can act as the "face of the brand," proactively hunting and landing top-tier talent across all HQ functions.

Key Responsibilities

• Aggressive Outbound Sourcing: Use advanced Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and "old school" cold outreach to identify and engage passive candidates who may not be looking at job boards.
• Elevated Brand Ambassadorship: Act as the first point of contact for the organization. You must be able to articulate our value proposition, scale story, and culture with the polish of a high-end executive search professional.
• KPI Driven Velocity: Focus on drastically reducing "Time-to-Fill" by maintaining a constant, high-quality pipeline. You don't wait for candidates to apply; you create the applicant pool.
• Full HQ Scope: Source across a diverse range of departments, including Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, IT, and Creative.
• Strategic Intake: Partner with internal Hiring Managers to "pressure test" job requirements, ensuring we are hunting for the right profiles from day one.
• Candidate Experience: Manage the "sell" throughout the entire process, ensuring every candidate, whether hired or not, has a premium experience with our global brand.

The Profile: "The Agency Hunter"

• Experience: 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a strong preference for those with 3+ years in a fast-paced agency/search firm environment.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. You must be articulate, persuasive, and able to "hook" high-level talent quickly.
• Tech Savvy: Expert-level knowledge of LinkedIn Recruiter and modern CRM/ATS systems.
• The "Hustle" Factor: You possess a "do what it takes" attitude. You are comfortable making high-volume cold calls and navigating complex org charts to find the right person.
• Consultative Mindset: You aren't just an order taker; you provide market feedback and data to hiring managers to help them make better, faster decisions.

Why Join This Project?

• Scale Influence: You will have a direct hand in building the HQ of a globally recognized brand during a pivotal growth phase.
• High Visibility: This is a long-term consulting role (6+ months) with potential for extension, working directly with senior leadership.
• Autonomy: We trust your process. If you have the "hunter" DNA, you’ll have the freedom to execute your sourcing strategy.
