About the Role

At Alts, we're redefining the tailoring industry through exceptional craftsmanship, elevated client experiences, and an unwavering commitment to our people.

We believe exceptional teams are built through exceptional hiring. As we continue to grow across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and beyond, we're looking for a Senior Manager, Recruiting to lead our talent acquisition strategy and help us attract, hire, and retain the people who will shape the future of Alts.

This role is responsible for leading recruiting across Tailoring, Studio Operations, and Central Office while managing and developing our recruiting team. You'll partner closely with leaders across the business to understand workforce needs, develop proactive recruiting strategies, and build scalable talent pipelines that support both current hiring and long-term growth.

Approximately 65% of your focus will be dedicated to recruiting highly skilled tailoring talent—including Production Tailors, Fitter Tailors, Master Tailors, Bridal Specialists, and Tailoring leadership. These roles require creative sourcing, relationship building, and innovative recruiting strategies, as the strongest candidates are often not actively looking for new opportunities.

The remaining 35% of the role will support recruiting across Studio Operations and Central Office functions while leading the recruiting team's strategy, processes, analytics, and performance.

This is a true player-coach role. You'll lead the recruiting function while remaining actively involved in sourcing, interviewing, and closing candidates for our most critical and difficult-to-fill positions.

As the Senior Manager, Recruiting, you'll help bring these values to life by ensuring every hiring decision reflects the people and culture we're building.
