If we were to ask any of the hiring managers you’ve partnered with in the past to describe you, this is what they would say, “indispensable, proactive communicator, really understands my team, driven, self-motivated, coached me through some challenging selections, always seems to know where to find great talent, works with a sense of urgency, easy to work with, stays on me, keeps me focused, doesn’t let me settle, etc.”
If you were to ask us what its like to recruit at Whalerock Industries, we’d tell you we are looking for an ‘embedded recruiter’ – someone who develops deep partnerships with the teams they support. Over time, they will see you as a member of their team - not just a shared service provider. You will advise and influence your teams based on your established rapport, thoughtful and collaborative approach, and nuanced understanding of their needs.
Sound good? Then talk to us.
