Recruiter

Requirements

• You find people others can't. You don't default to the same sourcing channels as everyone else. You think laterally - communities, forums, niche networks, unconventional outreach - and you've found great candidates in places most recruiters haven't thought to look
• Cold doesn't scare you. You don't need a warm intro to start a conversation. You can reach out to a stranger, make it feel personal, and get a reply - because you took the time to understand what they care about before you ever hit send
• You run your own show. You don't wait for a playbook to be handed to you. You build your own systems, set your own priorities, and figure out what needs to happen next without being told. You treat this role like a business, not a job
• You actually care about this space. You're drawn to the outdoor, media, travel, events, or tech world - not because it looks good on a resume, but because it means something to you. You can talk about what makes Outside different and make someone want to be part of it
• What good looks like:
• In your first six months you'll have owned searches across multiple functions, closed roles that weren't easy to fill, and built a sourcing approach for at least one talent community we didn't have a way into before.
• One more thing - and this one matters:

Additional Information

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR CAREER TO NEW HEIGHTS? ARE YOU SEEKING A NEW CHALLENGE IN A DYNAMIC SECTOR? This is a very exciting and highly innovative time here at Outside. OUR TRUE NORTH:Outside Interactive, Inc., the premier hub for active lifestyle enthusiasts, offers best-in-class content and experiences to more than 70 million of the world's most passionate outdoor, wellness, and endurance enthusiasts every month. We inspire a broad and diverse audience to do the activities they love with greater enjoyment, inspiration, and knowledge and are dedicated to making real change in the outdoor and fitness industries. Outside Inc. | People Team | Junior-Intermediate Most recruiters wait for candidates to come to them. You don't wait. You prospect. You pitch. You close. We're looking for someone who thinks less like a traditional recruiter and more like a sales rep who happens to love people - someone who gets energized by the hunt, knows how to build real relationships, and can sell the vision of a company that's genuinely doing something different. What you'll actually be doing: Owning the full recruiting process end to end - from the first outreach to the offer call - like it's your own small business. You set the pace, you manage the timeline, and you're accountable to the outcome Recruiting across a wide range - technical roles, designers, editors, content creators, niche subject matter experts, and G&A. No two searches look the same. You need to be a strategist and a doer, and you need to be comfortable going deep on a search without a roadmap Building and working your candidate pipeline proactively - you know who's worth pursuing, who needs nurturing, and who to come back to in six months Running discovery conversations that go deeper than "are you open to opportunities" - you uncover what candidates actually want, what would make them move, and what would make them stay Running candidate debriefs with the hiring team - synthesizing feedback, keeping the process moving, and asking the hard questions that get everyone to a real decision faster Pushing back in the huddle when you don't think a candidate is the right fit - even when the team is excited. You care more about getting it right than being agreeable Going back to the search when something's off - not settling, not rushing to fill a seat, but holding the bar and finding the person who actually belongs there
