About Loud Solutions

Loud Solutions is the embedded people partner for funds and founder-led companies scaling fast. Talent acquisition, performance, retention, HR ops: we own the whole function, the way a founder would if they had the time. We sit inside the business, working the problem alongside the team, day after day. We build infrastructure that works even after we've left the room. Build it. Lead it. Leave it. All on your terms.

We're now looking for someone driven, organized, and relentlessly resourceful to join our internal team. If you love the hunt for great talent, know how to build a recruiting function, and want real ownership over how it runs day-to-day, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As Recruiting Lead, you'll own recruiting end-to-end at Loud Solutions, running the entire function from sourcing through offer. You'll manage the full lifecycle across our internal hiring and our client portfolio: sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer management, and everything in between. This is a hands-on role with a lot of autonomy. You'll drive the day-to-day process and have real say in how it's shaped. You'll work closely with the Head of Delivery to make sure recruiting stays aligned with delivery expectations and client needs, keeping them looped in on progress along the way.

What You'll Do

• Full-Cycle Recruiting: Own the entire recruiting process from requisition to offer acceptance, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing candidates across roles and levels.
• Recruiting Strategy & Ownership: Drive sourcing channels, interview processes, and hiring workflows day-to-day, partnering with the Head of Delivery to keep recruiting aligned with delivery expectations and client commitments.
• Client & Stakeholder Partnership: Partner directly with hiring managers and client stakeholders to understand role requirements, team needs, and hiring priorities.
• Candidate Experience: Own the candidate experience from first touch to offer, ensuring every candidate has a great impression of Loud Solutions and our clients, whether they're hired or not.
• Recruiting Ops & Reporting: Track and report on recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness) and use that data to keep improving the process.
• Internal Leadership: Help shape Loud Solutions' internal hiring playbooks and processes as we grow.

Who You Are

Required Skills

• 5-7 years of experience owning full-cycle recruiting in a fast-paced, startup, or agency environment.
• Strong sourcing instincts, with the ability to find great candidates rather than just waiting for applications.
• A sharp communicator who can represent Loud Solutions and our clients well to candidates, and who keeps stakeholders proactively informed.
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple open roles and client relationships at once.
• Comfortable owning a recruiting function day-to-day while collaborating closely with leadership on strategy and priorities.
• Data-minded and comfortable tracking pipeline metrics to improve outcomes.
• Experience recruiting for early-stage or fast-scaling startup clients.

Preferred Skills

• Experience using Salesforce for recruiting communications and candidate tracking, ideally including custom reports, dashboards, or automation.
• Comfortable learning new ATS platforms quickly, regardless of complexity.

What You'll Get

Real ownership of the recruiting function, with a supportive, hands-off Head of Delivery as your partner. Flexible, remote-first working culture that values wellbeing. The chance to work with some of the most ambitious early-stage startups in the US and beyond.
