We are a global digital agency comprised of strategists, creatives, media experts, data scientists, and engineers driven by one common purpose — accelerate business growth through marketing and digital transformation. Named a top 3% Google Premier Partner and recognized by Inc. 5000 and Adweek’s 75 Fastest Growing Companies, we’re constantly looking for “A” players to join our team.
The rapid growth is attributed to our strongest asset — our people. Our teams are highly collaborative and work closely with each client to set clear goals and objectives so that we can deliver exceptional results. Mindgruve is a place where every opinion is valued. Not only will you be empowered to contribute ideas, but you will also play a key role in the execution and driving success for brands across a variety of industries. Sound fun? Perfect — you’ll fit right in. Great agencies are built by great people, and great people don’t show up by accident.
At Mindgruve, every hire has the potential to sharpen our thinking, elevate our work, strengthen our teams, and create better outcomes for our clients. We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager who sees recruiting as more than filling roles: it’s about finding the builders, problem-solvers, curious minds, and future leaders who will help shape what Mindgruve becomes next.
You’ll lead and evolve our Talent Acquisition function across the U.S., while providing strategic guidance for recruiting for our international teams. Leading the Talent Acquisition function, you’ll help us build what’s next - using AI, automation, and talent intelligence, while creating a more proactive talent strategy and closely partnering with hiring managers and department leaders.
At the center of the role is one simple expectation - raise the bar with every hire. You’ll be a steward of the Mindgruve Hiring Standard, helping us look beyond impressive résumés to identify people with the capability, character, curiosity, trajectory, and drive to make our teams and our clients better.
What You'll Do Here:
Manage Talent Acquisition through the ownership of U.S. recruiting and providing strategic guidance for LATAM and Germany.
Lead select full-cycle searches and build proactive sourcing strategies and talent pipelines for critical, emerging, and hard-to-find skill sets.
Build the future of recruiting by identifying and implementing practical uses of AI, automation, talent intelligence, and emerging recruiting technologies to improve sourcing, candidate engagement, recruiter productivity, insights, and decision-making.
Manage, coach and develop recruiting team members, including identifying fractional recruiting support and vetting third-party agency assistance, as needed.
Work closely with hiring managers and department leads to define talent needs, develop compelling job descriptions, design effective interview processes, and provide market insights throughout the search.
Partner with Resourcing, Finance and HR to forecast hiring demand, prioritize searches, identify talent gaps, manage recruiter capacity, and build pipelines ahead of need.
Raise the hiring bar daily by being the champion of the Mindgruve Hiring Standards. Look beyond résumés to assess capability, character, curiosity, trajectory, adaptability, ownership, and business impact. Identify people who see opportunities, solve problems, improve systems, create momentum, and make the people around them better.
Ensure every candidate interaction, from first outreach through offer acceptance, is thoughtful, responsive, authentic, and reflective of the Mindgruve brand to create an exceptional candidate experience.
Actively maintain, update and audit our ATS, Greenhouse.
Oversee recruiting analytics & performance, including owning recruiting dashboards and key performance metrics across pipeline health, conversion rates, source effectiveness, time-to-fill, offer acceptance, recruiter capacity, and quality of hire - turning data into actionable insights for HR and business leaders.
Provide regular updates and training to the HR team on best practices in recruiting and current trends to stay competitive, while retaining and attracting the right talent.
Challenge legacy processes, experiment with new approaches, and continuously improve how Mindgruve finds, evaluates, and hires talent globally.
Perform other related duties and projects as assigned.
