The Role
As Solink’s Talent Acquisition Manager, you’ll own our recruitment function from end to end; building, scaling, and optimizing how we hire. You’ll lead a team of recruiters, drive hiring metrics and funnel health, and ensure every process and interaction reflects the high bar we set for talent.
This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and hands-on leadership. You’ll collaborate closely with People & Culture leadership, Finance, and department heads to execute on workforce plans and ensure we’re hiring efficiently, effectively, and with intention.
You’ll also step in when needed to carry a requisition load, particularly for critical roles or to keep pace with demand. You’ll set the tone and pace of how we hire, ensuring our recruiting engine runs at full speed while still delivering a best-in-class candidate experience.

Recruit Strategically - Build strong partnerships with business leaders and stakeholders to design and implement hiring strategies that are proactive, data-informed, and aligned to workforce planning.
Coach and Elevate - Set clear expectations for recruiters, provide structured coaching, and support their ongoing growth through feedback, enablement, and best practices. Cultivate a culture of accountability, bold thinking, and operational excellence.
Collaborate with Leadership - Partner with Sales, Engineering, and G&A leaders to understand their goals and deliver talent acquisition strategies that scale teams with quality, speed, and precision.
Lead Strategic Business Outcomes - Design and refine recruiting workflows and infrastructure that maximize funnel performance, reduce time-to-fill, and enhance the hiring experience across departments.
Enhance Our Brand - Own and evolve Solink’s employer brand. Ensure every touchpoint—from outreach to offer—communicates who we are and why top performers should join us.
Lead with Analytics - Use data to manage the funnel, track KPIs, coach the team, and present insights to leadership. Drive accountability for outcomes across all stages of the recruitment process.
Tell the Talent Story - Bring Solink’s culture and mission to life across sourcing, campaigns, social, and recruiting content. Build and engage a pipeline of future Solinkians through modern, compelling storytelling.
Jump In When Needed - Own priority roles when the business demands it. Lead by example with hands-on execution to unblock, accelerate, or reinforce recruiting momentum.
