About the role

We're looking for a Senior Corporate Recruiter with strong headhunting expertise to lead full-cycle recruitment across our Creative, Design, and Content teams — roles like UI/UX Designers, 3D Artists & Animators, Motion Graphics Animators, Video Editors, Script Writers, and Marketing Specialists. You'll act as a strategic talent advisor to hiring managers, proactively source and engage top-tier candidates in competitive creative talent markets, and help build a scalable, high-quality pipeline that supports our content and product output.

This is a fully remote position, ideal for a self-driven recruiter who understands creative and design hiring, knows how to evaluate portfolios and reels, and thrives on building relationships with hard-to-find creative talent.

What you'll do

  • Own full-cycle recruitment for creative, design, and content roles — including UI/UX Designers, 3D Artists & Animators, Motion Graphics Animators, Video Editors, Script Writers, and Marketing Specialists — from intake to offer negotiation and close

  • Proactively source and headhunt candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Behance, Dribbble, ArtStation, portfolio sites, Boolean search, talent mapping, and creative community networks

  • Partner with creative directors, design leads, and marketing leads to define role requirements, evaluate portfolios/reels, and shape hiring strategy

  • Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified designers, artists, animators, editors, and content specialists for current and future openings (full-time, part-time, and contract)

  • Conduct in-depth candidate screening, competency conversations, and portfolio/reel reviews (coordinating with hiring managers on skills assessments where relevant)

  • Guide candidates and hiring managers through the interview and offer process, ensuring a smooth, positive experience in a competitive creative talent market

  • Track and report on key recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source effectiveness, pipeline health, offer acceptance rate)

  • Continuously improve sourcing strategies, employer branding, and recruitment processes tailored to creative and design talent

  • Maintain accurate candidate data and pipeline status in the ATS

  • Stay current on creative industry trends, freelance/contract market rates, and competitor talent movement

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record in headhunting/direct sourcing for creative, design, or content roles (e.g., UI/UX Designers, 3D Artists, Animators, Video Editors, Motion Graphics Designers, Copywriters/Script Writers)

  • Solid understanding of creative and design disciplines well enough to evaluate portfolios, reels, and work samples accurately

  • Proven experience filling hard-to-source or specialized creative positions, including full-time, part-time, and contract roles

  • Expertise with sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Behance, Dribbble, ArtStation, Boolean search, ATS platforms)

  • Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable advising and influencing creative directors and design leads

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills

  • Data-driven mindset with experience tracking and reporting recruiting metrics

  • Ability to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

  • Self-motivated and highly effective working independently in a remote setting
