[Hiring] Recruiting Manager @Collegewise

Role Description

Every hiring need starts with a conversation. A hiring manager needs a wave of counselors ahead of the spring peak, or one senior hire who has to be right. You'll sit down with that manager, get clear on the scope, scorecard, and timeline, and turn it into a job req and posting the team can act on.

• Run the hiring process, including writing external postings and building sourcing plans for various roles.
• Lead hiring for program advisors, who build trust with families for customized counseling and tutoring packages.
• Conduct screening and interviews through to offer, draft and track offers within approved pay bands, and keep candidates informed until they accept.
• Design the hiring process, shape screening criteria, and partner with Counseling leadership on training delivery.
• Own the employee referral program and recruiting metrics.
• Manage Rippling as the applicant tracking system, including stages, scorecards, scheduling, and reporting.
• Mentor and develop a part-time Recruiting Coordinator.
• Ensure hiring managers receive adequate information from each interview to make decisions.
• Work alongside the Chief People Officer on job descriptions, senior and corporate hires, and pay bands.

Qualifications

• Experience running full-cycle recruiting independently.
• Recruitment experience for multiple role types, including education, sales, or high-volume hiring.
• Hands-on sourcing experience: boolean search, outbound outreach, and building pipelines.
• Experience administering an ATS, including workflows, scorecards, scheduling, and reporting.
• Knowledge of pay transparency rules and EEO and ADA interview practices.
• Full-cycle recruiting experience in education, healthcare, or another high-touch field.
• Experience managing a recruiting coordinator or support staff.
• Experience managing an external recruiter or agency.
• Belief in the vision of Collegewise.

• Strong interpersonal skills to build trust quickly with candidates.

Benefits

• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage.

• 401(k) with matching.
• Generous vacation and sick day policies.
• Remote, US-based location.

How to Apply

Instead of a traditional cover letter, please choose 3 of the following questions to answer (150–250 words is a helpful guideline, but use as much or as little space as you need):

• Why recruiting, and why Collegewise? Tell us what draws you to this work and our team specifically.
• Walk us through how you'd source for a role you've never filled before. Where would you look first, and how would you know it was working?
• Walk us through a time you used data to change a hiring decision. What did the numbers show, and what did you do with them?
• Describe how you've developed someone who supports your recruiting work. What did you hand off, what did you keep, and how did you know they were ready for more?
• A candidate you really want asks for more than we can offer. What do you do next, and how do you keep them engaged while you work it out?
• Tell us about a week when three or more open roles competed for the same time and attention. What did you drop, what did you protect, and how did you tell hiring managers?

Please submit your resume and responses through our Careers page. Every single applicant will receive a response from us, and we do our very best to reply within 10 days.
