Sr. Recruiter (Technical Staffing)

You can get a lot of satisfaction from being good at your job. There’s nothing quite like seeing the difference you make for your clients, candidates, and co-workers. But without a place that asks you to be yourself, grow, and maximize your impact, you’re only halfway to doing work that you LOVE. Ian Martin is where you’ll do your most meaningful work: The Ian Martin Group () is Canada’s most progressive recruitment firm. Unlike most companies, we’re self-managed: there’s no bosses. Every employee has the autonomy and responsibility to do their best work. Last year we ranked #2 on the Best Workplaces in Canada (-workplaces/best-workplaces-in-canada-medium) list, and 96% of our employees agreed with the statement “this is a great place to work”. The Ian Martin Group is also a certified B Corp () (ever heard of that?). B stands for Benefit, which means our purpose goes way beyond profits as we operate to benefit all our partners and meet much higher standards of positive social and environmental impact than the average company. We’ve been in the business of technical and executive recruiting for more than sixty years and have grown to 400+ employees in Canada, the US, and India. But we’re not just about finding people to fill jobs. We’re building a world where each and every person is pursuing meaningful work, so we’re looking for a Sr. Recruiter who shares our passion to join our growing team. We Need More Sr. Recruiters - STAT! We consider ourselves to be the most advanced staffing company in Canada, and our incredible growth is just one proof point. In the last few years we have launched a new division called Matchfield () , which intelligently connects in-demand talent with tough-to-fill roles in the consulting engineering industry, and Managed Direct Sourcing () , which capitalizes on the hottest trend in contingent staffing, and is being used to staff the COVID-19 contact tracing programs in both Ontario and Alberta. This growth means that we are looking for experienced technical recruiters to work within Matchfield or Managed Direct Sourcing that are yearning for more than the typical agency grind. In both these divisions you’re approaching candidates on behalf of the employer, so the role is hybrid between 3rd party agency recruitment (where you don’t advertise the employer), and corporate recruitment (where you represent the employer). Recruiting in this way is much more effective, and much more fulfilling than agency recruitment - once you get a taste you won’t look back! Responsibilities: * Deeply understanding the requirements that employers are looking for, via direct conversations with hiring & program managers. * Proactively calling and contacting candidates whose skills & experience are a fit for a particular or in-demand position. * Discussing candidate work preferences and evaluating their fit, while providing a GREAT candidate experience. * Managing multiple jobs at the same time (which will require excellent time management, prioritization, and high pace). * Becoming an expert in the use of our internal matching system (LiveHire) and helping to improve its structure, processes and efficiency. Qualifications: * Experience as an agency recruiter with a high volume of proactive candidate outreach. * Experience proactively recruiting and screening technical positions (please specify what types of roles). * Experience managing a large number of open jobs at once. * Education or working experience in engineering or IT. If that sounds like you, Ian Martin Group offers you meaningful work, autonomy to succeed in the way that’s best for you, the chance to grow personally and professionally in a supportive environment, and all within a legendary culture. Practical Stuff: This is a full-time, permanent position with target salary of $70,000 to $90,000, depending on your experience, plus group benefits, RSP matching, and lots (and lots) of fun perks. Because we’re self-managed we work on 100% salary, and after thorough on-boarding you are able to set your own pay via our Compensation Advice Process. When we’re not in a global pandemic, this position works from our beautiful new head office in Oakville (close to the GO Station) or our Toronto office, but for now it’s work from home. How to Apply: Our online application will give you the option to apply to this role as a complete person – not just a resume. The application will assess your qualifications, personality traits and workplace preferences, and should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After submitting, you'll receive an email inviting you to log in and view your assessment results. We strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, visible minorities, indigenous peoples, people identifying as LGBTQ2SI, veterans, and people with disabilities. If we can make this easier through accommodation in the recruitment process, please contact us using the “Help” button. We will review applications, with priority given to those who have completed the assessment and look forward to hearing from you. P.S. Want a tip? We aren't overly fussed about your resume, but we care A LOT about your cover letter. We want to know why you're excited about the opportunity to join us, and why you think you’d enjoy and be good at the job (please don’t bother sending in a generic cover letter).
