Talent Acquisition Manager, Operations and Strategy

About the role

Fairstead, a real estate firm focused on affordable housing, is hiring a full-cycle recruiter who will also build and run the recruiting process for its property management division. You will start by recruiting for the most critical and hard-to-fill roles, then design and automate the process and tools, and eventually lead a small recruiting team.

Key responsibilities

• Run full-cycle recruiting for property management roles, from site and community teams up through regional and portfolio positions.
• Source and close high-performing talent, define what a high performer looks like per role and market, and advise hiring managers and regional leaders on hiring strategy.
• Design and implement a scalable, increasingly automated recruiting process from requisition to offer, and evaluate and implement recruiting technology (ATS, sourcing tools, scheduling automation, workflow tools).
• Build repeatable workflows for high-volume, high-turnover roles (leasing, maintenance, community management) and more selective processes for senior hires.
• Create reporting and metrics (pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, cost-per-hire, quality-of-hire) and document the process so it can run consistently across markets.
• Keep the process running day-to-day, refine workflows, and make the case for further automation.
• As volume grows, make the case for and potentially hire, onboard and lead additional recruiters or coordinators.

Required profile

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with high-volume or multi-site hiring.
• Track record of building or overhauling a recruiting process or tech stack yourself.
• Comfort with data: able to build and read recruiting dashboards and make decisions from them.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, influencing 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: Workday, AI-powered sourcing/screening/scheduling tools, leading an ATS/HRIS implementation, recruiting across a large multi-state footprint, and leading a small recruiting team.

Salary range: $130,000-$160,000 USD.
