Contract Recruiter (3-Month Engagement)
About Scale
For the past 12 years, Scale Media has been building and scaling science-backed wellness brands. Our portfolio of brands, including Live Conscious, 1MD, and Essential Elements, has grown to 9 figures in revenue while operating profitably with no external funding.
Our team is made up of operators, marketers, and builders focused on products consumers actually trust. We're investing heavily in data and AI to sharpen how we develop products and scale brands.
We believe the best decisions come from data, curiosity, and continuous learning. We value high ownership, candid feedback, and thoughtful execution. As a fully remote company, we lead with clear communication, accountability, and trust, and we give people real room to grow and make an impact.
Scale Media has been recognized as one of Forbes' Best Startup Employers, a Great Place to Work, an Inc. Best Workplace, and an Inc. 5000 company.
If you take ownership, think for yourself, and like solving hard problems alongside people who do the same, you'll fit right in.
The Role
We're looking for a Contract Recruiter for a 3-month engagement to own full-cycle hiring across Scale Media and our brands: Live Conscious, 1MD, and Essential Elements. You'll partner directly with hiring managers to fill open roles across growth and marketing, analytics, and other areas of the business, running each search from intake through accepted offer.
This is a hands-on, high-volume role with a defined timeline. You'll need to ramp quickly, build pipelines from day one, and close hires within the engagement window.
What You Will Do
Full-Cycle Recruiting
- Manage multiple open requisitions at once, from kickoff to offer acceptance.
- Run intake meetings with hiring managers to define the role, the must-haves, and a realistic profile for the market.
- Conduct first-round screens that assess both capability and fit with a fully remote, high-ownership team.
Sourcing & Pipeline Building
- Proactively source passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, communities, and competitor mapping, rather than relying on inbound applicants.
- Build target lists from DTC, CPG, supplement, and wellness companies for hard-to-fill roles.
- Write job postings and outreach that are specific and compelling, not generic.
Process & Coordination
- Keep candidates moving through structured interview panels, and make sure each interviewer knows what they are assessing.
- Own JazzHR hygiene so every req has accurate status, notes, and next steps.
- Coordinate scheduling, take-home assessments, and debriefs so the team reaches a decision quickly.
Offers & Closing
- Manage compensation conversations, extend offers, and close candidates within approved bands.
- Spot and address candidate concerns early so offers don't fall apart at the finish line.
Hiring Manager Partnership & Reporting
- Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on market conditions, candidate calibration, and process.
- Track and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and source effectiveness, and suggest improvements based on what the data shows.
What You Bring
- At least 3 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including contract or interim roles where you were expected to deliver hires on a set timeline.
- A proven track record of sourcing and closing candidates across multiple functions at the same time.
- Comfort with recruiting tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and a modern ATS (JazzHR or similar).
- Strong written communication skills, from outreach to job descriptions to hiring manager updates.
- Sound judgment on candidate quality, and the confidence to push back on hiring managers when needed.
- Strong backgrounds include: in-house recruiters at DTC, eCommerce, or consumer brands; agency recruiters who have moved to (or want to move to) in-house roles; and talent coordinators or sourcers ready to own full-cycle searches.
What Makes You a Fit
- Hits the Ground Running: You can take over open reqs in your first week and produce qualified pipeline without a long ramp-up.
- High Ownership: You treat every open req as your own problem to solve, not a ticket in a queue.
- Fast-Paced and Remote-Ready: You do well in a fully remote, fast-paced environment and keep things moving without being micromanaged.
- Candidate-First: You know a good candidate experience is part of how we win talent, and you run your process accordingly.
- Cross-Functional Collaborator: You're equally comfortable recruiting a performance marketer, a supply chain lead, and a data analyst.
Preferred, But Not Required
- Experience recruiting for supplements, wellness, beauty, or consumer subscription brands.
- Experience hiring for growth and marketing roles in a DTC environment.
- Experience recruiting for a fully remote team.

You will report directly to our Associate Director, HR.
