Talent Acquisition Partner

About the role

Fairstead is a real estate firm focused on affordable housing, owning and managing more than 30,000 apartments across 28 states. It is looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to manage full-cycle recruiting for Community Manager-level and above positions, including regional and portfolio-level roles, and to help improve recruiting processes and technology.

Key responsibilities

• Recruit for Community Manager-level and above positions, including regional and portfolio-level roles and other priority searches assigned by the Talent Acquisition Manager.
• Source and engage high-performing talent and work with hiring managers and HR People Partners to define the skills and experience needed for each role.
• Understand how different markets differ in talent supply, compensation norms and seasonality, and adjust sourcing and pitches accordingly.
• Advise hiring managers and regional leaders on hiring strategy, not just fill open requisitions, and travel to host onsite job fairs.
• Improve and standardize recruiting processes, and support the Talent Acquisition Manager in optimizing recruiting technology, workflows, automation and candidate experience.
• Help create automated interview kits and questions for high-volume, high-turnover roles (leasing, maintenance, community management) and more selective processes for senior hires.
• Track, analyze and report recruiting metrics such as pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, cost-per-hire and quality-of-hire, and document workflows.

Required profile

• 3 to 6 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally including high-volume or multi-site hiring (property management, hospitality, retail, healthcare or similar).
• Experience improving recruiting processes and using recruiting technology to increase efficiency and candidate experience.
• Comfort with data: able to build and read recruiting dashboards and make decisions from them.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to influence regional and site-level leaders who do not report to you.
• Understanding of how recruiting needs differ across geographic markets.

Required skills

• Hands-on experience with an ATS; direct experience with Greenhouse is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of sourcing, scheduling and workflow-automation tools.
• Nice to have: experience recruiting for multifamily, affordable housing or property management roles, Workday, AI-powered sourcing or scheduling tools, and recruiting across a large multi-state footprint.

What we offer

• Salary range of $105,000-$115,000 USD, eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
• Medical insurance through Meritain Health, dental and vision plans.
• Company-matched 401(k) retirement plan (100% of the first 3%, 50% of the next 2%).
• 12 paid holidays, discretionary PTO, employer-paid life insurance, flexible spending account, nationwide pet insurance and disability insurance.
• Laser correction discount and employee discounts on appliances and apparel.
