Talent Bloodhound: You've got a knack for spotting A-players, whether they're next door or overseas. You don't just "fill roles"; you build teams with people who raise the bar. Cutting hiring costs creatively and streamlining processes to catch top talent before they slip away? That's your specialty. And when managers need coaching to interview like pros, you're the go-to expert.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to chat! AlgaeCal is looking for a standout Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us build an extraordinary, aligned, values-driven team.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we're driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world's only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you'll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

You'll love it here:

• You'll be working with a great team.
  The People and Culture team at AlgaeCal knows what it takes to build an amazing workplace. They've hired more top talent than Stephen Spielberg. And they've solved so many challenges that they practically have an honorary degree in "People Wrangling." Best of all? They're approachable, funny, and genuinely care about every team member's growth.
• You'll use your powers for good.
  This isn't one of those HR roles that drains you with endless paperwork. Quite the opposite! You'll be supporting initiatives that make a real difference—building a workplace that champions health, happiness, and balance. You'll be empowering managers, uplifting employees, and shaping a culture where people can thrive.
• You won't be micromanaged.
  We'll set you up with clear KPIs and clear expectations—then give you the space to do what you do best. You'll have the freedom to bring your ideas to life and make an impact, without anyone looking over your shoulder.
• We don't have mattresses at the office.
  You'll be glad to know this isn't one of those soul-sucking jobs where endless hours are the norm. We believe in work-life balance. We enjoy our life—and we want you to enjoy yours, too.

This job might be for you if you've got…

• A resume that wows us. We're looking for proven recruitment expertise with a track record of hiring top talent across various roles, from Customer Success to Operations and Marketing.
• 2+ years of experience in recruitment with hands-on experience in full-cycle recruiting. This includes screening resumes, analyzing cover letters, and conducting culture fit phone interviews. Be ready to share examples of how you've successfully managed multiple recruitment channels and streamlined the hiring process.
• A knack for active recruitment. You've conducted active candidate searches, connected with applicants through LinkedIn, and responded with a tone that's as friendly as it is professional.
• Yoda-level organizational skills. Managing applicant flow? You're GREAT at it! Coordinating with hiring managers, tracking referrals, and organizing candidate info across channels—it's all second nature to you.
• A partnership-building mindset. You've got proven experience in developing external recruitment partnerships and are excited about leading initiatives to expand our talent pool beyond Canada.
• Experiences with end-to-end recruitment management. From recruitment kickoff meetings to new hire onboarding, you're ready to lead and support each stage. You're also known for your SOP-building skills, with clear, actionable documentation for every recruitment and onboarding process.
• Data-driven reporting skills. You know the importance of keeping recruitment reporting up-to-date and are diligent about tracking progress daily.

Now, time to be honest: is this really you? If you're nodding your head and feeling that flutter of excitement, then we can't wait to meet you.
