Recruiting Consultant - Contract

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our team on a contractual basis. This role partners closely with clients and internal stakeholders to manage and execute full-cycle recruiting initiatives while providing thoughtful, strategic guidance tailored to each organization’s needs.

This consultant will support recruiting efforts across a variety of roles and industries, serving as both a hands-on executor and a trusted advisor.
