Talent Acquisition (IT Recruiter) Role and Responsibilities

To further our mission, we are looking for a recruitment leader to source and hire talent across a wide range of technology roles at Current as we embark on the next phase of our incredible growth. As we continue to scale, how should we evolve our talent acquisition strategy? How should the hiring strategy evolve with a remote-first workplace? How will we continue to drive operating leverage as we grow our teams? How should we build a global talent base in alignment with our international business expansion roadmap? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-funded, rapidly growing company in a high-profile role that will have a direct impact on technology talent acquisition and strategic decision making at Current. The individual will bring experience, energy, and insight as they work within teams and across key departments and product lines to acquire exceptional technical talent to ensure key hiring goals are timely fulfilled.
