Reverse recruiter for HR and people roles

HR professionals know hiring from the inside, but running your own search still takes hours a week. I run it for you.

A reverse recruiter for HR and people roles runs your job search for you. I target HR business partner, HR director and people operations roles, tailor each application to the company's size and stage, contact people leaders and recruiters directly, follow up, and log every step in a tracker you can open.

HR titles vary a lot by company. A people operations manager at a startup and an HR manager at a large employer can do very different work. The search has to match your experience to the right setting.

Why do HR and people job searches stall?

  • Generalist and specialist roles share titles but hire for different strengths.
  • Company stage matters. Building HR from scratch and running an established function are different jobs.
  • Senior HR roles are often filled through networks and executive recruiters.
  • Resumes describe programs, while hiring managers want results such as retention, time to hire or a completed rollout.

How does the search work for HR roles?

We agree the role, the kind of company, the industry and the location. I search for roles where your setting matches, not only your title, and each application leads with the programs you ran and what changed because of them.

Outreach goes to the CHRO, VP People or hiring manager where I can identify them, and to the recruiter. Every step is in your tracker.

Who is an HR reverse recruiter for?

It suits HR business partners, generalists and people operations leads moving up or moving company. It is not the right fit if you want to move into a new HR specialty with no related experience yet.

Roles I target

  • HR Business Partner
  • HR Manager and HR Director
  • People Operations Manager and Lead

FAQ

Do you cover HR generalist and specialist roles?
Yes. We decide at the start whether the target is generalist work, such as HR business partner, or a specialty, and the search stays on that track.
Can you target startups or large employers?
Yes. Company stage is part of the target. Applications to a growing company and to a large employer lead with different experience.
Do you contact people leaders directly?
Yes. Where I can identify them, I contact the CHRO, VP People or hiring manager for the role, along with the recruiter.
Are there live trackers for HR searches?
Not on this site yet. You can see how a live tracker is laid out in the proof section on the job seekers page.
