The Role

You're a hunter. You love the thrill of the chase. You're a seller, but you're not a ''salesperson.'' BuzzFeed is looking for a Senior Recruiter to support full-cycle recruiting across various lines of business globally. Adaptability is your strong suit, and you're equally as comfortable recruiting/sourcing for an entry-level help desk support position as you are for a software engineer role.

Develop recruitment initiatives, services, and solutions that align with the strategic direction of the organization.

Flexible Work - We've introduced a flexible work approach offering hybrid, in-office, and remote work.

• Identify, organize and/or attend a variety of recruitment events to build our talent pipeline and promote BuzzFeed's employment brand
• Contribute to BuzzFeed Careers' social media presence on Twitter and Instagram

You Have
• 2+ years of recruiting or sourcing experience, ideally in-house in a related industry.

• An understanding of the entire recruiting life-cycle and the ability to operate within each stage
• Proficiency using an ATS (we use Greenhouse)
• Experience sourcing, interviewing, negotiating, and networking with candidates at all levels of an organization

You can expect:

• An attractive and equitable compensation package, including salary and stock options.
