Part-Time Recruiter, Freelance Roles

The role

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Recruiter (Part-Time Contract), working with the People & Culture (P&C) team, to own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for long-term, freelance positions across our core agency tracks in North America.

WE ARE 

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we’re proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• We like to laugh, we live for celeb gossip and we’re great on AUX.
• Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
• You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn). 
• From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we’re passionate about making a difference. 

YOU ARE

• A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
• Not interested in just following trends – you want to create them
• A self-starter, who’ll take ownership of initiatives from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro  

Traditional agency experience is not required, but it’s a plus. What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with a social agency. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Dive deep into our business to understand the work we do and the caliber of resources and skill sets required to deliver best in class candidates. 
• Take end-to-end ownership of the freelance candidate journey, including hosting department briefings, sourcing talent, screening applicants, conducting interviews, and executing final rate negotiations.
• Contribute to building active pipelines and continuous rosters for freelance placement demands across Account Management, Strategy, Production, Creative & Design, and Influencer tracks.
• Maintain detailed, up-to-date tracking in our centralized resourcing tracker documents to guarantee full team visibility and seamless coverage.
• Facilitate clean operational handoffs by packaging negotiated rates, availability, and onboarding data to internal operations leads to trigger prompt onboarding protocols via our third party EOR service. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
• Proven experience as a contract or freelance recruiter managing high-volume candidate outreach in an agency, digital, social or creative ecosystem.
• Deep reach and a pre-existing contractor roster focused heavily on creative agency tracks (Account Management, Creative, Production, Strategy, and Influencer specialists). The ideal candidate will have both US and Canadian market experience. 
• Strong baseline proficiency using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Workable, along with central tracking spreadsheets.
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder collaboration, and candidate negotiation capabilities.
• Experience recruiting for ad agencies strongly preferred.
