Talent Acquisition Specialist

Sacramento, CA, United States

Description

You: A “people person” who takes great pride in their ability to build relationships quickly and make everyone you meet feel cared for and respected. You like to move fast and keep things interesting by managing multiple projects simultaneously, and employ a cool head and clear understanding of prioritization to make sure nothing gets past you. You have a strong drive to accomplish the goals in front of you and are hungry to fight for liberty by helping us amass and support our army of freedom fighters.

Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in and passionate for the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.

Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 18 victories out of 20 cases litigated at the Court. We also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.

We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next-generation” mean for a legal nonprofit? It means we aren’t interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game.

Here’s what you get to do in this role:

You are the first impression many candidates will have of PLF, so it vital that you deeply understand PLF’s culture and represent it well. We bring a strong customer-focused mindset to how we guide prospective hires through our talent acquisition process so you will need to exercise great care and forethought to navigate the complex and important process of building out our team. Once a role is filled, you will assist the new hire through the onboarding process and ensure that their orientation is customized for their specific needs. This role presents the unique opportunity for someone early in their career to leave a mark on every new staff member that joins their organization. This role reports to the Director of Talent and Culture and can be completed remotely or from one of our offices.

An interest in being a “professional matchmaker” by bringing the right candidate to the hiring manager, and the right opportunity to the candidate.
