The Role
- Own full-cycle recruiting for all open roles at Red Antler Group, partnering with hiring managers across creative, strategy, client services, and operations teams.

Partner with hiring managers and department leads to scope roles, calibrate on must-haves, structure interview loops, and coach interviewers.
-
Evaluate creative portfolios and craft quality alongside hiring managers, and bring a strong point of view on talent.
-
Build and refine recruiting operations: ATS hygiene, interview scorecards, sourcing trackers, hiring manager templates, candidate communications, and reporting.
-
