Director of Talent Acquisition

Position Overview

We are seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition to elevate and lead recruiting across Magna Legal Services.

This is not a plug-and-play role. This individual will step into a function that requires structure, prioritization, and leadership — building a more scalable, accountable, and business-aligned recruiting engine while continuing to deliver on immediate hiring needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead full-cycle recruiting across all business lines, including operations, deposition services, corporate, and technical roles
• Assess, upgrade, and scale the Talent Acquisition function, bringing structure, consistency, and accountability
• Build, manage, and develop a team of recruiters (internal and contract), setting clear expectations and performance standards
• Prioritize and allocate recruiting resources based on business impact and urgency
• Partner with executive leadership to define hiring strategies aligned to growth and M&A integration needs
• Drive improvements in recruiting processes, workflows, and systems (Lever ATS), ensuring efficiency and visibility
• Establish and own recruiting metrics (time to fill, quality of hire, pipeline health), using data to drive decisions and accountability
• Implement proactive sourcing strategies for both high-volume and hard-to-fill roles
• Elevate the candidate experience and employer brand across all touchpoints
• Act as a thought partner to HR and leadership on workforce planning and organizational needs

 

Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of progressive recruiting experience, including leading and developing recruiting teams
• Experience stepping into and improving or rebuilding a recruiting function in a high-growth and/or PE-backed environment
• Proven ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution
• Strong business acumen and ability to influence senior stakeholders
• Experience managing both high-volume hiring and specialized searches
• Data-driven with a track record of implementing metrics and accountability frameworks
• Comfortable operating in environments that require change, clarity, and decisive action

What We Are Looking For

• Builder and operator: Can diagnose gaps quickly and implement solutions
• Raises the bar: Sets higher standards for both recruiters and hiring managers
• Direct and accountable: Brings clarity, structure, and follow-through
• Hands-on leader: Willing to step in and execute when needed
• Resilient: Thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments
