HEAD OF INTERNAL RECRUITINGStaffing Industry | Phoenix, AZBase Salary: $100,000 - $130,000 + Performance Bonus | Nationwide Internal Hiring Scope
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We are actively hiring a Head of Internal Recruiting to lead our nationwide internal talent acquisition function. This is a high-impact, strategic leadership role for a seasoned recruiting professional who has built their career inside the staffing industry and understands what it takes to identify, attract, and hire top internal talent — the people who drive revenue, serve clients, and grow the business.
This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. You will own the full internal hiring function from the ground up — building process, operationalizing strategy, leading a team, and partnering directly with market leaders and business stakeholders across the country to ensure we are always ahead of our hiring needs.
If you are a builder, a collaborator, and a recruiter at heart who wants to lead at the highest level, this is the role for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Leadership & Strategy
- Own and lead the internal recruiting function nationwide, serving as the primary driver of talent acquisition strategy for all internal hires across the organization.
- Build, manage, and develop a high-performing internal recruiting team, setting clear performance expectations, coaching to outcomes, and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
- Design and operationalize end-to-end recruiting processes, from sourcing and screening through offer and onboarding, ensuring consistency, speed, and quality across all markets.
- Develop and execute a long-term talent acquisition strategy aligned with the company's growth goals, headcount forecasts, and market expansion plans.
- Partner with senior leadership and regional market leaders to anticipate hiring needs, prioritize requisitions, and deliver talent solutions that support business objectives.
- Recruiting & Sourcing
- Lead full-cycle internal recruiting efforts, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing candidates for roles across sales, recruiting, operations, and leadership functions nationwide.
- Build proactive talent pipelines for high-priority and recurring internal roles, ensuring the organization is never in a reactive hiring position.
- Leverage job boards, LinkedIn, referral networks, and creative sourcing strategies to identify and engage top internal talent, with a specific focus on candidates coming from within the staffing industry.
- Conduct structured interviews and competency-based assessments to evaluate candidates for cultural fit, skill alignment, and long-term potential within the organization.
- Stakeholder Partnership & Operations
- Serve as the primary point of contact for market leaders, regional directors, and hiring managers across the country, translating their hiring needs into actionable recruiting plans.
- Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders at all levels — from frontline managers to the executive team — acting as a trusted advisor on internal talent strategy and market positioning.
- Implement reporting frameworks and recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, quality of hire, source effectiveness, offer acceptance rates) to provide leadership with clear visibility into hiring performance.
- Manage and optimize the internal ATS and recruiting tech stack, ensuring process efficiency, data integrity, and compliance across all internal hiring activity.
- Drive employer brand initiatives that position the company as a destination employer within the staffing industry, supporting talent attraction and retention at every level.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3+ years of Talent Acquisition experience with a strong focus on internal hiring within a staffing, recruiting, or professional services firm — this is a non-negotiable requirement.
- Demonstrated track record of hiring internal employees (recruiters, sales, operations, leadership) at scale in a fast-paced, high-growth staffing environment.
- Proven leadership experience with the ability to build, manage, and develop a recruiting team from the ground up.
- Strong process orientation — you build systems, document workflows, and create scalable infrastructure that outlasts any single hire.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence, align, and communicate effectively across all levels of an organization.
- Data-driven mindset with experience tracking and reporting on key recruiting metrics to drive continuous improvement.
- Self-directed, highly organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and urgency is constant.
- Based in or willing to relocate to Phoenix, AZ; travel to other markets as needed.
