Senior Recruitment Associate, Project & Interim: Technology & Transformation
Position Type: New Position
Clarity Recruitment | Project & Interim | Toronto / Oakville (hybrid) | Full-time
About Clarity
Clarity is a recruitment agency for companies experiencing rapid growth or transformation. Our approach has always blended a human-centric process, built on quality and trust, with innovative hiring technology that enables speed and delivery. We are specialized recruiters in Finance, HR, Operations and Technology, not generalists.
We help companies hire exceptional leaders and build the teams that support them through direct hires and project and interim consultants. We believe the right hire and the right job can change everything.
What You'll Do
In this role, you'll find, engage, and present mid-to-senior technology, data and transformation talent for Project and Interim mandates. You'll work closely with our Engagement Managers on searches for clients navigating growth, digital transformation and change, from a single interim hire to a full project team. You'll build your own bench of top contract talent while playing an important role in growing the technology side of Clarity Recruitment's Project & Interim division.
You'll recruit across the following domains:
- Data and analytics (data analysts, data engineers)
- Architecture and design (solution, enterprise and cloud architects, solution designers)
- Engineering and infrastructure (DevOps, forward deployed engineers, cyber security including networking and infrastructure)
- AI (functional AI experts)
- Transformation and delivery (transformation leads, enablement and change management, project and program managers)
- Business and systems (business analysts, business systems analysts, ERP and Workday systems consultants)
- Technology leadership (interim CTOs and CIOs, VPs and Directors of IT, Operations and Analytics)
Your role will involve the following:
- Join client intakes with Engagement Managers to understand each client’s hiring needs, including deliverables, technology environment and specific requirements, and educate the client on the candidate market.
- Build a top-tier bench of candidates through high levels of sourcing, headhunting, referrals, screening, technical interviews, follow-ups and networking, using multiple data sources and systems.
- Assess candidates’ technical skills, delivery experience and fit against the role, build clear candidate profiles that make the case for each person, and support candidates through to offer stage.
- Keep the team informed on search progress and roadblocks in a fast-moving, highly communicative environment.
- Provide insight into the technology talent market, including candidate availability, rates and compensation, in-demand skills and hiring trends.
- Act with your candidates’ best interests in mind and be a partner to them throughout their career journey. Today's candidates are tomorrow's clients if treated right.
- Maintain accurate, detailed records of candidate interactions and recruitment activities.
- Leverage Clarity’s AI and automation tools to streamline research, sourcing, note-taking, scheduling and follow-up, freeing up more time for meaningful conversations with candidates.
- Contribute ideas, processes and best practices that help us scale the Project & Interim technology practice.
- Attend in-person training, meetings, and company events in our Oakville or Toronto offices as needed.
What You'll Bring
You are a recruiter first, with a genuine curiosity about technology. You enjoy building relationships with candidates, you’re comfortable holding your own in a technical conversation, and you're motivated by hitting your numbers and helping grow a business. You listen more than you talk, you build credibility quickly, and you are the kind of person candidates want to hear from.
- 5+ years of agency IT contract/interim recruitment experience.
- Experience recruiting technology, data or transformation talent is strongly preferred.
- Working knowledge of the technology landscape (cloud, data platforms, ERP systems, cybersecurity and AI), senior technology roles and market trends, and the ability to run credible screening and technical interviews.
- A proven ability to find and engage passive talent through proactive outreach, networking, and referrals.
- A track record of meeting weekly metrics and submission deadlines.
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with comfort writing and speaking to a senior-level audience on both the client and candidate side.
- High emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust with different personalities and seniority levels externally and internally at Clarity.
- Resilience, curiosity, and the drive to perform in a fast-paced, high-pressure, entrepreneurial environment where priorities shift quickly.
- You look for leverage in every part of your work, including how AI changes recruitment. Clarity is rebuilding as an AI-augmented firm, and you’ll be given the tools to match.
- Familiarity with tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Fireflies, applicant tracking systems and MS Office (slides, docs and spreadsheets) is an asset.
- An undergraduate degree is an asset.
