[Hiring] Head of Talent Acquisition @Launch Potato

Role Description

We're looking for the recruiter who finds the senior and hard-to-fill talent no one else surfaces, runs each search first touch to close, and makes our recruiting function sharper over time.

• You own the whole talent acquisition function and searches that matter most to an affiliate and performance marketing business.
• You'll do it without layers or handoffs, ensuring nobody downstream catches what you miss.
• The best recruiters can move quickly and strategically, aligning talent acquisition to our business.

Tip: Only apply if you have had success hiring for an affiliate/performance marketing business OR built performance marketing teams (paid media, yield, CRO, tech roles focused on metrics that make an impact i.e. ROAS, margin, EBITDA, etc.)

Qualifications

• Intimate knowledge of an affiliate or performance marketing business.
• Track record recruiting and building performance marketing teams: paid media, yield, CRO, and data science focused on metrics that move the business.
• Full-cycle ownership of searches from first touch to close.
• A sourcing engine you built yourself, including inbound and outbound, passive included.
• Outreach that converts, with measurable results.
• Ability to defend your calls and decisions.

Requirements

• Built search reporting that lets leadership see status at a glance and spot stalls early.
• Designed scorecards, pre-screen rubrics, or interview loops that sped up panel decisions.
• Recruited technical roles alongside engineering leaders.
• Coached an ops or coordinator teammate into a bigger role.

What You'll Own

• Our senior and hard-to-fill searches, from intake through close.
• Pipeline built ahead of demand, so when a req opens you already know who to call.
• The recruiting playbook: scorecard floors per req, pre-screen rubrics, interview design.
• Direction and growth for our Recruiting Ops Manager.
• The reporting layer leadership uses to see search status and forecast stalls.

What Good Looks Like

• Our hardest searches close faster than they do today, with healthier pipelines behind them.
• Standout candidates you met months ago get the call when the right req opens.
• Hiring managers ask for you by name.
• Panels decide faster because every req runs on a floor and a rubric you sharpened.
• The backend never bottlenecks a search, and our Recruiting Ops Manager keeps growing.
• Leadership sees search status at a glance and sees stalls coming.

This Isn't the Right Seat If You

• Lean on agencies to build your pipeline.
• Have mostly sourced or coordinated for other recruiters.
• Recruit for roles without wanting to understand the business behind them.
• Make the call on gut and fill in the reasoning later.
