Talent Acquisition Specialist

We’re looking for a mission-driven Talent Acquisition Specialist who will own hiring end to end. You’ll recruit for Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Marketing and specialist roles as they come up. You’ll be the go-to person for how we find, assess and close great people, and you’ll have a direct hand in shaping the team that builds Canopy.

At the end of the three months, if it’s working for both sides, you’ll convert to a full-time employee. Employee benefits start at conversion. What you’ll do Own the full recruiting lifecycle: work with hiring managers on what each role needs, write strong job descriptions, post roles, source, screen, coordinate interview loops, run offers and close candidates.
