Senior Talent Partner

Praxent is a financial technology consulting and engineering firm. For 25+ years we have partnered with financial services organizations fintechs, banks, wealth managers, insurers, and lenders  to help them command their future through custom software and exceptional digital experiences. With 180+ consultants and 450+ successful digital transformations, everything we do is built on a CAN/DO culture: Care Deeply, Always Deliver, Never Settle, Do It Together, Own the Outcome.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Team members may live in the following locations: Texas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application. We are not able to provide sponsorship or participate in training programs such as STEM OPT now or in the future.

Most recruiters wait for reqs to open, then scramble. We are doing something different.

As Praxent's Senior Talent Partner, your primary job is to build, grow, and cultivate a living network of exceptional fintech and software talent before we need them. You will know 250 people in this space by name. You will have had coffee (virtual or otherwise) with all of them. You will be the person that great candidates hear from first, trust most, and call when they are ready to make a move.

This is not a coordinator role. There is no playbook handed to you. You will design the outreach strategy, build the relationship cadence, manage the pipeline, and own the results with minimal oversight. If you need someone to structure your day, this is not the right fit. If you thrive in building something from scratch and measuring your own success, read on.

The right person for this role is a natural connector. You uniquely understand an individual’s skillset and know exactly when the perfect opportunity is opening up for them.You remember birthdays. You follow up without being reminded. You find it genuinely energizing to meet new people and stay in touch with them over months and years. You think of your network as one of your most valuable professional assets and you invest in it accordingly.

You are also deeply self directed. You do not need a manager to structure your week or tell you who to call. You set your own targets, hold yourself accountable to them, and escalate only when it genuinely matters.

Most importantly, you are a closer. Your relationships mean that when a role opens at Praxent, it closes within a week. You single-handed close 20+ leadership roles in a year within days.

• Build and grow the talent network
• Proactively identify, research, and reach out to 100+ qualified passive candidates per week across software engineering, UX/UI, product management, and fintech consulting.

• Schedule and conduct regular touchpoints coffee chats, check ins, industry conversations with at least 100 members of your network per year.
• Build the base beyond you — facilitate introductions and knowledge shares with our internal leadership and these recruiting prospects. Find new ways to impress these candidates with tangible experience of what differentiates our culture and our expertise.
• Build and maintain a living CRM of your network inside Greenhouse, with each contact's SLOMA (Skills, Location, Opportunity, Money, Availability) current and accessible to hiring managers.
• Develop and execute personalized outreach campaigns via LinkedIn, email, and other channels that make people want to engage with Praxent, not ignore the message.

• Conduct 25+ phone assessments per week using Praxent's WHO biographical interview methodology, evaluating both technical fit and CAN/DO values alignment.
• Manage a bench of offer ready candidates for Praxent's evergreen roles at all times, so time to hire never exceeds 20 days.
• Ensure no candidate sits in a pipeline stage for more than one week. All Greenhouse profiles are updated at least once per week.
• Drive offer management, negotiation, and onboarding coordination owning the candidate experience from first contact through day one.
• Monitor and report on recruiting metrics: time to hire, source quality, offer acceptance rate, pipeline velocity, candidate experience score and surface insights.
• Consult with hiring managers on role feasibility, candidate rarity, and salary benchmarks before reqs open, not after.
• Stay close to the professional services and fintech talent market: who is moving, what they want, what competitors are paying, and where the best people are.
• Coach and align interviewers on the WHO methodology to ensure consistent, high quality candidate evaluation across the team.

We'd love to hear from you if:

• 5+ years of full cycle technical recruiting, ideally in a software consultancy or professional services firm.

• Experience recruiting for software engineering, UX/product design, or technology consulting roles.
• Deep proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS, Greenhouse strongly preferred.
• Exceptional written outreach skills. Your messages get responses. You know how to make a stranger feel like a human being, not a target.
