Talent Acquisition Partner

Posted on

Apr 7, 2026

We are looking for a strategic Talent Acquisition Partner to join our team and help us build a best-in-class recruiting engine. This is not your typical recruiter role — we want someone who thinks like a talent strategist, shows up as a trusted partner to every leader, and delivers a white glove experience to every candidate they engage with.

Recruiting will make up approximately 70% of your time, focused primarily on insurance Service roles with the opportunity to support producer hiring as well. The remaining 30% is spent as an HR partner to leaders— such as, supporting onboarding, our internship program, and people initiatives that shape the employee experience from day one and beyond.
