Director of Recruiting

About the role

Hadley Designs, a family-founded brand of hand-drawn, teacher-designed screen-free educational tools, is looking for a Director of Recruiting to own how it sources, vets and closes talent for every open role, from Amazon and ecommerce operators to senior leaders. This is a leadership role with end-to-end ownership of recruiting, with no recruiting coordinator: you build the engine and let AI and the tools you set up handle the admin.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the recruiting pipeline: source candidates outbound and inbound across LinkedIn, Workable, job boards, online communities, referrals and your network, and filter applicants.
• Run culture index steps, case studies and first-round interviews, including for director-level roles, and manage the candidate experience end to end.
• Optimize sourcing channels and build "always hiring" shortlists for recurring high-leverage roles.
• Manage outside recruiting partners so every candidate follows the same process.
• Find new talent channels, especially in online communities, and monitor Glassdoor and Indeed reviews.
• Deliver weekly hiring pipeline reports by channel and role, and run reference checks by phone for leadership roles.

Required profile

• 3 to 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in remote or ecommerce organizations; agency recruiting is a big plus.
• Hired across marketing, operations, Amazon, ecommerce, product and leadership roles.
• Comfortable on camera and able to represent the brand to candidates.
• Ability to handle 5 to 10 active roles at once and to build hiring metrics reporting.

Required skills

• Outbound sourcing and expert-level LinkedIn and Workable skills.
• Use of AI in recruiting, a CRM and documented SOPs.
• Strong writing, from job posts to outreach and candidate communication.

What we offer

• Remote-first work environment with flexible hours.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Learning resources and professional development.
• Free access to Hadley Designs products.
• Direct interaction with leadership, including the CEO.
