The Executive Recruiter will manage the recruitment lifecycle, including new business development, account management, and candidate placement in HR roles, while collaborating with a national team.

We’re leading the way in redefining the workwear category. Our mission is to engineer better boots and apparel for our country’s tradesmen and women by working directly with real workers to learn what they actually need to execute their jobs.

The BRUNT team is not only devoted to improving on the old workwear standards, but we’re also creating a community that tradesmen and women can call their own. From our weekly hangouts at the BRUNT Garage, to hosting events across the country, we’re all about getting boots on the ground and building something real with the BRUNT crew.

What You’ll Do:

We are looking for a resourceful, self-starting Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our team and play a critical role in shaping our hiring efforts. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in network building and has a passion for identifying top talent and optimizing the candidate experience. This role will focus primarily on recruiting (70%), with responsibilities spanning talent acquisition process management (10%) and hiring manager partnership (20%).

  • Build and sustain proactive talent pipelines for future hiring needs and hard-to-fill roles, aligned with guidance from the Head of People; actively contribute to monthly headcount planning meetings.
  • Ensure an exceptional candidate experience by maintaining timely, transparent communication at every stage of the hiring process, setting clear expectations, scheduling all interviews, providing thoughtful feedback, and serving as a consistent point of contact to guide candidates through interviews, assessments, and offer decisions.
Talent Acquisition Process Management (10%)
  • Maintain and optimize our ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and recruiting workflows
  • Partner with HR to report on TA metrics (e.g., time-to-fill, pipeline health, offer acceptance rate)
  • Provide process recommendations based on data and market best practices
  • Support the development and delivery of internal TA training (e.g., interviewer calibration, inclusive hiring practices)
Hiring Manager Partnerships (20%)
  • Lead kick-off meetings to calibrate on ideal candidate profiles, evaluation criteria, and interview structure
  • Provide training and support on effective ATS usage, including candidate review, feedback submission, and interview coordination
  • Deliver interviewer and hiring manager training sessions to ensure consistency, minimize bias, and improve hiring decisions (e.g., behavioral interviewing, scorecard use, debrief facilitation)
  • Coordinate post-interview debriefs and ensure alignment among stakeholders on hiring decisions
  • Foster accountability and strong communication between recruiting and hiring teams to create a collaborative hiring environment

What You Need to Succeed:

  • 3+ years of experience in a recruiting or talent acquisition role
  • Strong sourcing and pipeline development skills, experience in hiring across multiple functions, but specifically marketing, e-commerce and retail preferred 
  • Familiarity with ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, or similar)

  • Ability to manage multiple open roles and stakeholders simultaneously
  • Detail-oriented and strong time management skills
  • Passion for delivering great candidate and hiring manager experiences
