About Red Antler

The Role
We are hiring a Senior Recruiter to own talent acquisition at Red Antler Group. As our sole in-house recruiter, you will lead full-cycle hiring across every team and every level — from coordinators and individual contributors through senior leadership. You will manage a high-volume req load, while also building the recruiting infrastructure, tools, and processes that allow our hiring to scale.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a recruiter who has worked inside a creative environment, and who is energized by both the day-to-day craft of recruiting and the operational work of building a function.
What You’ll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for all open roles at Red Antler Group, partnering with hiring managers across creative, strategy, client services, and operations teams.
- Source actively and creatively for hard-to-fill roles using LinkedIn Recruiter, talent communities, referrals, industry networks, and personalized outreach.
- Manage a high-volume, multi-discipline requisition load, running multiple searches in parallel without compromising candidate experience or quality of hire.
- Partner with hiring managers and department leads to scope roles, calibrate on must-haves, structure interview loops, and coach interviewers.
- Evaluate creative portfolios and craft quality alongside hiring managers, and bring a strong point of view on talent.
- Build and refine recruiting operations: ATS hygiene, interview scorecards, sourcing trackers, hiring manager templates, candidate communications, and reporting.
- Develop and maintain pipelines for evergreen roles (e.g., designers, strategists, producers, engineers) so we can move quickly when a need opens.
- Identify and implement tools, processes, and metrics that improve speed-to-hire, quality of hire, and overall recruiter productivity.
- Track and report on recruiting metrics and pipeline health, sharing insight and recommendations with the People team and senior leadership.
- Champion an exceptional candidate experience at every stage, from first outreach through offer and close.
What You Bring
- 5–7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including experience at a creative agency, design studio, brand or marketing agency, or similar creative-led organization.
- Proven ability to source and evaluate creative talent — designers, brand strategists, copywriters, art directors — with a strong eye for craft and portfolio quality. In the absence of significant experience reviewing portfolios, proven ability to partner with hiring managers to learn and absorb the needs of a role or function and evaluate both quality and fit.
- Demonstrated track record of carrying a high-volume, multi-discipline req load and consistently hitting hiring goals.
- Strong operational instincts: you have designed and improved recruiting processes, workflows, tools, and reporting, not just executed against an existing playbook.
- Hands-on expertise with modern ATS platforms and sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the credibility and judgment to partner closely with senior leaders and high-bar creative talent.
- A bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and the discipline to bring structure to a fast-moving environment.
