We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Recruiter to join our Talent Growth team (not similar to the one shown in the above strip of course, DUH!). 

Do you leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding the perfect fit for a role?  Have you been known to adopt creative recruiting techniques? Then you’re at the right place!

• Say no to HiPPO: 

At Searce, we want people who value everyone’s opinions & perspectives. We don’t want them to get overpowered by HiPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion)
