About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic, adaptable, and data-minded Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to join us for an initial 4-month term temporary contract.

You will lead full-cycle recruiting across a varied portfolio, from launching strategic intakes for complex roles to collaborating with external agency partners. Your focus will span high-volume talent pipelines as well as unique, specialized positions within the nonprofit space. If you excel at establishing immediate rapport, mastering new sectors rapidly, and solving problems creatively amid ambiguity, we would love to have you on our team.

This is a temporary role, starting August until December, 2026. 

What You Will Do:

  • Full-Cycle Ownership: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for a mix of high-volume positions and niche nonprofit roles, including interview coordination and scheduling.

  • Expert Intakes: Lead strategic kickoff/intake meetings with hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements and cultural add.

  • Sourcing & Partner Management: Utilize creative sourcing strategies to uncover passive talent, while effectively managing relationships and candidates from external recruiting agencies.

  • Data-Driven Recruiting: Use recruiting metrics and data to track pipeline health, inform hiring managers, and pivot strategies when necessary.

  • Rapid Support: Seamlessly build trust and rapport across the organization from day one. 

  • Onboarding: Assist with the onboarding process and orientation for new hires as needed to ensure a stellar candidate-to-employee transition.

What You Should Bring:

  • Experience: 2+ years of proven full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally across a wide variety of roles.

  • Tech Stack: Deep, hands-on expertise with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), in particular Lever, sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, and Google Suite. 

  • Adaptability: Prior experience in the nonprofit sector is not required, but you must possess the agility to learn unique, specialized roles at lightning speed.

  • Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; a natural ability to build instant rapport with candidates and internal stakeholders alike.

  • Flexibility: Comfortable working in a hybrid environment, with the ability to be onsite as frequently as business and hiring needs dictate.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
