Sr. Talent & HR Advisor

We’re looking for an experienced Fractional Recruiting Partner to work across a portfolio of Bloom clients and lead thoughtful, strategic searches from kickoff through hire.

This is a hands-on recruiting role.

You’ll partner directly with founders and hiring leaders to understand their businesses, determine what they truly need from a hire, build the search strategy and then get into the work—sourcing, outreach, screening, candidate management and advising clients throughout the process.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of recruiting.

Someone who gets excited about figuring out where great talent might be hiding, building relationships with people and helping clients make thoughtful hiring decisions.

You won’t simply take an intake call, post a job and wait.

You’ll be expected to think strategically, source creatively and act as a trusted advisor to both our clients and candidates.

• Own full-cycle recruitment processes across multiple Bloom clients, from intake through successful hire
• Partner directly with founders, executives and hiring leaders to understand their businesses, teams and hiring needs
• Translate role requirements into thoughtful and creative search strategies
• Proactively source and engage talent across LinkedIn, referrals, communities, social channels and other relevant platforms
• Build diverse, high-quality candidate pipelines using a multichannel approach to recruitment
• Conduct thoughtful recruiter screens and assess candidates beyond résumé keywords
• Provide candidates and applicants with a warm, transparent and care-centric experience throughout the hiring journey
• Foster long-term relationships with candidates for both current and future opportunities
• Advise clients on hiring practices through the lens of inclusion, equity and candidate experience
• Recognize and respectfully challenge bias or unnecessarily narrow thinking within hiring decisions
• Provide clients with regular search updates, market insights and meaningful recruiting analytics
• Adjust sourcing strategies based on candidate feedback, market realities and search performance
•  Collaborate closely with the Bloom collective while independently owning your searches and client relationships

• Genuinely love recruiting—the strategy, sourcing, conversations, relationship-building and problem-solving that come with it
• Have strong full-cycle recruitment experience and are comfortable owning searches independently
• Consider proactive sourcing a core part of recruiting, not a last resort
• Are comfortable partnering directly with founders, executives and senior hiring leaders
• Can operate as a trusted advisor rather than simply taking orders from a hiring manager
• Are naturally curious and want to understand the business behind every role you recruit for
• Take a creative, multichannel approach to finding talent, including inbound, outbound, referrals, networking, communities and social media
• Care deeply about candidate, applicant and hiring-manager experience
• Understand the power dynamics that exist within hiring and actively work to create more equitable and inclusive processes
• Feel comfortable calling people in when bias may be influencing candidate evaluation
• Are highly organized and able to move between different clients, roles and industries without losing attention to detail
• Bring a problem-solving mindset when a search isn’t working rather than waiting for someone else to determine the next move
• Communicate with warmth, clarity and professionalism
•  Enjoy autonomy but also value having a collaborative team around you

We’re less interested in one perfect career path and more interested in how you approach the work.

You may have built your recruiting experience:

• In-house within a high-growth or founder-led company

• Within a boutique recruitment or search firm

• As an independent or fractional recruiter

• Across startup or scale-up environments

• Through a combination of agency, consulting and internal talent roles

Experience with tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Lever and Asana is helpful.

Bonus points if you have experience recruiting within fashion, retail, beauty, consumer or e-commerce brands and/or have built strong talent networks across the United States and Canada.

Fractional work offers something traditional recruiting roles don’t always provide: variety, autonomy and the opportunity to become deeply involved in different businesses and hiring challenges.

At Bloom, you’ll have the independence to own your work without having to do it alone.

You’ll work alongside an experienced collective, have access to established systems and recruiting tools, and partner with exciting growing companies without carrying the responsibility of finding and managing every client yourself.

One week you may be building a search strategy alongside the founder of an emerging consumer brand. The next, you may be helping a growing company rethink how they assess leadership talent.

If you enjoy learning new businesses, solving interesting talent challenges and building meaningful relationships along the way, you’ll probably enjoy working with us.

At Bloom, we treat compensation as an open, honest dialogue. Early in the interview process, we’ll confirm that you’re comfortable with a salary within the listed range. From there, as you learn more about the role and the full compensation package, we always welcome you to share if your expectations shift. We’ll also have three check ins throughout the process to make sure we’re staying aligned so that by the time we get to an offer, it feels clear, fair, and mutual.
