Balsam Brands is looking for an experienced, dynamic recruiter to drive Balsam recruiting from beginning-to-end, delivering a candidate experience which reflects our unique workplace. In this role, you’ll get to learn from and work within our global Recruiting Team to understand and execute the nuts and bolts of Balsam’s recruiting process. You will source and interact with talented individuals to join our team, while always striving to improve our candidate experience and employer brand.

Our ideal candidate will be proactive, organized in a fast-paced environment, an excellent communicator, and has an eye for process improvement. Prior experience in technical recruiting (or a strong desire to learn!) and/or experience working for an eCommerce company is beneficial to the role. The role works at both a strategic level and in the details, and we are looking for someone who is excited to join and begin building relationships with a global team.

The Recruiting Strategist reports to our Senior Recruiting Manager. This is a full-time position located in Boise, Idaho. We have a hybrid work setup, which will include a blend of days working in-office and remote once we can all safely return.

What you’ll do:

• Effectively learn and execute Balsam Brands’ short- and long-term hiring strategies as a full-cycle recruiter for U.S. and Ireland-based roles
• Ensure recruiting practices reflect Balsam Brands’ dedication to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace
• Provide a positive and professional experience for all candidates and internal team members across all geographies
• Serve as a recruiting lead overseeing the Balsam interview process, which includes:
  • Collaboration with hiring managers and interviewers across Balsam offices on technical and non-technical roles
  • Assisting hiring managers in crafting compelling and inclusive job postings that provide an accurate job preview and appeal to the target audience
  • Sourcing/reviewing resumes, screening, and scheduling interviews for qualified candidates 
  • Building hiring strategies and pipeline; assess and unblock challenges in the candidate funnel
  • Developing interview questions that are appropriate and insightful for each role
  • Conducting phone, video, and in-person interviews
  • Facilitating interview and hiring discussions with interviewers and hiring managers
  • Conducting reference checks as needed
• Establish and maintain strong partnerships with internal global hiring teams, recruiting team members, partners at nationwide colleges and universities, staffing/recruiting agencies, and other organizations   
• Learn to work within and improve our suite of recruiting software and tools (SmartRecruiters, LinkedIn Recruiter)
• Think outside-the-box to improve the Balsam employer brand and recruiting processes, maintaining an active awareness of the talent market
• Take the lead on other tasks and projects, as needed

What you bring to the table:

• 2+ years’ work experience, preferably as a full-cycle recruiter; prior experience in technical recruiting is strongly desired
• Experience working in a culturally and intellectually diverse workforce and understanding the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion in recruitment and hiring 
• Must have respect for different perspectives and thinking preferences, as well as differences in backgrounds, experiences, personalities, skill sets, and knowledge bases
• Resourcefulness and adaptability:
  • You are game for a dynamically changing and sometimes ambiguous environment
  • You embrace evolving priorities and shift gears easily and often
  • You can work efficiently with minimal guidance, ask great questions, and escalate concerns appropriately and promptly
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information appropriately
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Strong prioritization skills & ability to move multiple projects forward simultaneously
• Strong relationship building skills
• Flexibility to adapt in a rapidly changing environment and recruiting landscape

Travel: TBD. Role may entail some travel to other office locations and/or to university-based recruiting events when we can safely travel.

Notes: This is a full-time, permanent position with benefits. Please submit a cover letter and resume. Please include in your cover letter a dish that you would like to bring to one of our potlucks.
