About Fulfillment IQ (FIQ):

Fulfillment IQ is a supply chain engineering and transformation company that helps brands, retailers, and 3PLs design, build, and scale high-performance logistics operations.

We work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology where we solve complex, real-world problems across warehouse design, automation, order management, transportation, and end-to-end supply chain execution.

Our teams combine deep domain expertise with strong technical capability, delivering outcomes through consulting, systems implementation, and proprietary platforms that accelerate time-to-value and reduce delivery risk.

Role Overview:

• The Senior Recruiter / Senior Talent Partner is responsible for delivering complex, high-impact hiring while elevating the overall effectiveness of Fulfillment IQ’s recruiting function.
• This role goes beyond filling roles. Senior Recruiters are expected to own hard-to-fill, specialist, or senior hires, improve hiring quality, speed, and decision discipline, and surface data-backed insights that help the Talent Acquisition Lead optimize strategy, process, and capacity.
• This is a senior individual contributor role with significant influence, broad stakeholder exposure, and a clear path toward talent acquisition leadership.

Mandate:

• Deliver successful outcomes on complex and high-priority roles
• Improve recruiting quality, consistency, and decision-making
• Act as a trusted hiring partner to senior stakeholders
• Use data and market insight to strengthen hiring strategy and execution

Must Have:

Nice to Have:

• Experience hiring in supply chain, logistics, or enterprise technology domains
• Exposure to workforce planning or recruiting analytics
• Experience coaching or mentoring recruiters

Key Responsibilities:

Complex & High-Impact Hiring

• Own full-cycle recruiting for senior, niche, or hard-to-fill roles
• Lead intake sessions to define success profiles, competencies, and evaluation criteria
• Influence role scoping, leveling, and success metrics during intake based on market realities
• Open and post new job requisitions assigned to you across various hiring platforms and job boards
• Design sourcing strategies that balance speed, quality, and long-term pipeline health

Assessment & Decision Quality

• Conduct structured interviews and guide hiring teams on consistent evaluation
• Facilitate debriefs and drive clear, timely hiring decisions
• Identify and resolve misalignment, bias, or indecision in the interview process

Stakeholder Partnership

• Act as a trusted partner to senior hiring managers and functional leaders
• Advise on market realities, trade-offs, and hiring feasibility
• Escalate risks, delays, or systemic issues to the TA Lead with proposed solutions
• Format Resumes for client‑specific requirements and coordinate with hiring managers to schedule client interview rounds (for client staff augmentation only)

Process & Performance Improvement

• Analyze funnel performance, stage conversion, and candidate drop-off
• Identify patterns impacting quality, speed, or candidate experience
• Partner with the TA Lead to test and implement process improvements

Team Enablement

• Coach and support Recruiters through informal mentorship and calibration
• Share best practices in sourcing, interviewing, and closing
• Contribute to hiring playbooks, interview guides, and role templates

Vendor Partnership & Vendor Management:

• Act as the primary SPOC for external vendors, ensuring alignment on role requirements, hiring timelines, and evaluation criteria
• Share job specifications and coordinate resume submissions, interview scheduling, and candidate progress across stages
• Partner with hiring managers, the Talent Intelligence team, and external recruiters to secure offers from successful candidates
