Additional Information

Collectors is the leading creator of innovative technology that provides value-added services for collectors worldwide. We grade, authenticate, vault, and sell millions of record-setting collectibles, all while modernizing and digitalizing the process to further our mission of helping collectors pursue their passions. We're always on the lookout for talented people to join our growing team. Our services span collectible trading cards, autographs, comic books, coins, video games, event tickets, and memorabilia. Our subsidiaries include PSA, PCGS, Beckett, SGC, and Card Ladder. Since our founding in 1986, we have graded and authenticated millions of items. We employ more than 3000 people across our headquarters in Santa Ana, California and offices in New Jersey, Texas, Florida, Japan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico, Germany, and France. As part of our interview process, we request that candidates have their cameras on during video interviews. This helps foster meaningful conversation and allows us to create an experience that closely resembles our standard working environment. Certain interview steps may take place by phone. For remote roles, and at our discretion, candidates may be asked to participate in an on-site interview as part of the final stages of the process. We understand there may be occasional circumstances requiring accommodation and are happy to discuss them as needed. Your recruiter will be able to clarify expectations and answer any questions you have. Collectors is seeking a recruiting leader to drive the evolution, scaling and ongoing management of our Grading, Operations & High-Volume Recruiting function at a pivotal moment of company growth. You will own the end-to-end infrastructure, strategy, and manage the recruiting team powering hundreds of annual hires across production operations, grading & authentication, and critical evergreen and support functions-domestically and internationally. You won't just run a recruiting function-you'll optimize it to bring Collectors into our next phase of growth and scale. That means building systems-oriented processes, developing the reporting architecture and capacity models that drive proactive workforce planning, and finding innovative, efficient ways to assess and move candidates at scale without compromising on quality. You'll partner with senior leaders across the business and serve as a key voice on the Recruiting Leadership Team, reporting to the Head of Talent Acquisition. While preference will be given to candidates who can work from our office in Santa Ana, California or Jersey City, New Jersey, remote candidates in the United States will also be considered. We believe that there is significant value in in-person collaboration. If you live within a 1-hour commuting distance to one of our offices, you will be required to be onsite most of the time. This will be discussed further as part of the recruiting process.
