[Hiring] Recruitment Director @Remote Legal Staff

Role Description

As Recruiting Director, you'll own the strategy and long-term capacity of our external recruiting function:

• Where candidates come from
• What the bar is
• How the function is structured and funded
• How it connects to sales, placement, client success, and data

This is a senior leadership role for someone who thinks in both quarters and days:

• Comfortable building a multi-quarter strategy one moment
• Getting hands-on with a team that's off track the next

You'll report to the Director of Operations and represent recruiting in forums with sales, placement, and client success leadership.

What you'll do

• Build the annual recruiting plan from the sales forecast: required candidate volume by role type and month, channel mix, and spend.
• Own the quality bar in partnership with client success, using 90- and 180-day outcome data to revise screening and endorsement standards at least quarterly.
• Decide unit structure: org design, spans of control, specialist sourcing roles, and when to add or reduce capacity.
• Own the recruiting budget: channel ROI, tooling, and vendor and agency contracts.
• Work with sales leadership so what account executives sell matches what recruiting can realistically fill, flagging early when a market or role type is drying up.
• Own the feedback loops that connect retention and escalation data to recruiting standards, and close-rate data to sourcing priorities.
• Develop your Recruiting Manager into an independent operator, and build the succession bench beneath them.
• Report to the Director of Operations monthly on function health and quarterly on strategy.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive experience in recruitment or talent acquisition, including at least 8 years in a senior leadership role owning strategy, budget, and headcount for a recruitment function.
• A proven track record building and scaling recruitment functions at volume, including org design decisions around unit structure, spans of control, and specialist sourcing capacity.
• Experience owning a recruitment budget and vendor/agency contracts, including channel spend decisions and ROI evaluation.
• Experience setting KPI frameworks and targets for a recruitment function — not just delivering against KPIs someone else set.
• Experience partnering directly with sales or business development leadership to align pipeline capacity with what the organization sells, and holding your ground in those conversations.
• Prior leadership experience in a staffing agency, outsourcing firm, shared services environment, or BPO recruiting function, or a comparable high-volume, fast-paced recruiting environment, is strongly preferred.
• Experience hiring or managing talent across LATAM, the Philippines, or South Africa is a plus.
• Excellent, native-level or near-native English communication skills, written and verbal — non-negotiable for this role.
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable using real outcome data (cost-per-hire, retention, close-rate) to revise standards and sourcing priorities over time.
• Sound business judgment on vendor and tooling investment, and strong negotiation ability on budget and structural decisions.

What success looks like

• Within your first 30 days, you'll have the current recruiting plan, channel spend, and standards fully transferred and reviewed.
• By day 60, you'll own and have revised the annual recruiting plan and budget against the sales forecast, with a pool strategy set by role type and market.
• By day 90, you'll have led your first quarterly standards review with client success and placement, and have a development plan and succession bench in place for your Recruiting Manager.
