About You

Thoughtful. Resourceful. Driven. Inventive.

You are a seasoned talent professional who views recruiting as both a strategic driver of growth and a craft. Passionate about talent acquisition, you thrive on connecting high-caliber talent with high-impact opportunities. While filling requisitions gives you momentum, placement alone isn't your end goal—you are deeply motivated by quality, retention, and ensuring the right people land in the right roles to fuel long-term organizational success.

You are naturally curious, data-informed, and relentlessly outcome-focused. As an agile Senior Recruiter, you comfortably balance big-picture talent strategy with hands-on operational execution. Whether you are actively sourcing hard-to-find sales or technical talent, streamlining recruiting workflows in Lever and Rippling, or serving as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, you approach every challenge with adaptability, organization, and a strong bias for action.

Above all, you care about the human element of talent acquisition. You take pride in delivering an authentic, exceptional experience for both candidates and hiring managers, championing our company values, and helping build high-performing, diverse teams where people can thrive.

Vendor & Metric Management: Oversee external vendor relationships, tool performance, and candidate engagement metrics to drive continuous improvement in site traffic and application conversion.
Culture & Inclusion Champion: Champion FiscalNote’s core values, Mission, and inclusive hiring practices across every candidate and internal touchpoint.

What Sets You Apart

Experience: 3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment (preferably within tech, media, or dynamic corporate environments). Experience with both internal recruiting and agency environments is a plus.
Systems & Tech Savvy: Strong familiarity and hands-on experience using Lever as an Applicant Tracking System and Rippling for HRIS/onboarding workflows. Proficient with advanced sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Handshake, etc.).
Sales & Specialized Sourcing: Proven track record of sourcing and closing competitive roles, particularly within Sales/Business Development Representatives, Account Executives, and growth-focused positions.
Consultative Mindset: Strong ability to act as a talent partner to leaders, utilizing data, structured interviewing methodologies, and strategic negotiation skills to drive optimal hiring decisions.
