About Change Craft
Change Craft is a growing California-based strategic communications, marketing, and PR agency. We work with government, public health, education, nonprofit, and social impact clients across research, strategy, communications, creative, digital, and operations.
We’re growing quickly, and so is our hiring. We’re looking for a Recruiter to become the day-to-day owner of our recruiting process and a trusted HR partner to company leadership.

About the Role
This is not an administrative recruiting role.
We need someone intelligent, highly organized, and experienced at finding and evaluating great people. You’ll work directly with our President and company leaders to understand what we need, develop recruiting strategies, source candidates, conduct interviews, manage hiring pipelines, and keep searches moving quickly.
We hire across a wide variety of functions, including marketing, communications, creative, research, project management, finance, operations, technology, AI, and administrative roles. Some searches are U.S.-based; others are international.
The right person will understand that good recruiting requires judgment. We don't just need more applicants. We need someone who can identify which candidates are actually worth our time.

What You’ll Do
Recruiting & Talent Sourcing

• Manage multiple active searches simultaneously
• Develop sourcing strategies based on each position and talent market
• Source candidates through OnlineJobs.ph, LinkedIn, Upwork, job boards, direct outreach, and other channels
• Proactively identify strong passive candidates rather than relying exclusively on applicants
• Review resumes, portfolios, profiles, applications, and work samples
• Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines

Screening & Interviewing

• Conduct initial candidate interviews independently
• Evaluate experience, communication, judgment, professionalism, and overall fit
• Prepare concise candidate assessments and recommendations for leadership
• Coordinate interview activities, assessments, references, and subsequent interview rounds
• Identify inconsistencies or potential concerns before candidates advance
• Help improve interview questions and evaluation criteria for different positions

Hiring Operations

• Maintain accurate recruiting pipelines, candidate records, interview notes, and hiring status
• Coordinate interviews across different time zones
• Follow up quickly with candidates and internal hiring managers
• Keep hiring processes moving without requiring constant oversight
• Maintain job postings and recruiting accounts
• Track recruiting metrics, hiring progress, and open positions

HR Partnership

• Work with leadership to clarify job requirements before searches begin
• Help develop and refine job descriptions
• Research compensation, titles, qualifications, and talent-market conditions
• Recommend improvements to Change Craft’s recruiting and hiring processes
• Support onboarding and other talent/HR initiatives as the role grows

Required Qualifications

• Professional experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or HR with significant recruiting responsibility
• Experience personally sourcing, screening, interviewing, and evaluating candidates
• Exceptional English communication skills, both written and verbal; near-native/native-level professional fluency is essential
• Strong interviewing and candidate-assessment skills
• Excellent judgment and ability to distinguish an impressive interview from genuine capability
• Extremely organized and able to manage multiple searches simultaneously
• Strong follow-through and responsiveness
• Comfortable working directly with executives and senior leaders
• Experience with LinkedIn and online recruiting/job platforms
• Comfortable learning new recruiting technology and AI-enabled hiring tools
• Able to work independently and make recommendations rather than waiting for instructions

Strongly Preferred

• Experience recruiting for a U.S.-based company
• Experience recruiting for marketing, advertising, PR, consulting, creative, or professional-services organizations
• Experience recruiting both U.S. and international talent
• Experience with ATS/recruiting platforms
• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, OnlineJobs.ph, Upwork, Indeed, or similar platforms
• Experience supporting broader HR or People Operations functions
• Familiarity with AI-assisted sourcing, screening, and recruiting workflows

Who We’re Looking For
You’re probably a strong fit if you’re the person who can take:
“We need a great project manager who actually understands how an advertising agency works.”
…and turn that into a recruiting strategy without needing someone to tell you every search term, platform, screening question, or next step.
You ask good questions, understand people, notice details, communicate extremely well, and know how to keep a hiring process moving.
Most importantly, you understand that your job isn't to fill interview slots. Your job is to help us make great hires.

How to Apply
Please include:
1. How many years of professional recruiting experience do you have?
2. What types of positions have you personally recruited for?
3. Approximately how many hires have you personally managed from sourcing through selection?
4. Which recruiting platforms and ATS systems have you used?
5. Have you recruited for U.S.-based companies? If yes, briefly describe your experience.
6. Please submit a 1–2 minute video introducing yourself and describing the most difficult position you’ve successfully recruited for.
7. Your expected monthly salary.

Important: Because communication and interviewing are central to this position, applications who fulfill the video introduction request will be prioritized over those who don’t include a video.
