Flex Recruit™ Talent Acquisition Consultant

Brightwing | Embedded Recruiting | Fractional Talent Acquisition

Brightwing is expanding our Flex Recruit™ consultant network and looking for experienced recruiting professionals who want to combine hands‑on recruiting with meaningful client consulting.

Flex Recruit™ is Brightwing’s embedded recruiting solution. Our consultants work directly with client organizations as an extension of their team, helping them recruit critical talent while improving the processes, tools, and strategies behind how they hire. Depending on the engagement, you may manage specific searches, provide fractional recruiting support, or help build and standardize a client’s entire talent acquisition function.

Engagements may be full‑time or part‑time, remote or hybrid. Consultants may support one or multiple clients based on their expertise, availability, and client needs.

Responsibilities vary by client engagement and may include:

• Partner with hiring managers and leadership to understand business needs, culture, talent requirements, and hiring priorities.
• Manage full‑cycle recruiting from intake and sourcing through interviewing, selection, offers, and onboarding coordination.
• Assess existing recruiting practices and recommend practical improvements to the client’s talent acquisition strategy.
• Build, document, and standardize recruiting processes that continue to serve the client after the engagement.
• Develop sourcing strategies using direct outreach, networking, job boards, Linked In, referrals, and other recruiting channels.
• Improve job descriptions, candidate profiles, interview scorecards, and selection criteria; establish consistent intake, evaluation, and offer processes.
• Coach hiring managers on interviewing, evaluating candidates, and selling the opportunity, company, and culture.
• Provide recruiting metrics, pipeline reporting, market intelligence, and recommendations to client leadership.
• Collaborate with Brightwing’s recruiting, HR, and leadership teams to address broader talent challenges.

Successful Flex Recruit™ consultants move comfortably between recruiting and advising. You can enter an organization, understand how it hires, identify what works and what needs improvement, and create a more effective, repeatable process. That may mean challenging assumptions, advising leaders, implementing changes, or helping clients think differently about attracting and hiring talent.

• Significant hands‑on recruiting experience and the ability to independently manage searches.
• Confidence working directly with executives, hiring managers, and HR leaders as a trusted advisor.
• The ability to assess a recruiting environment, recommend improvements, and build structure where processes are inconsistent or nonexistent.
• Adaptability across organizations, cultures, technologies, and leadership styles, with clear communication that explains the reasoning behind recommendations.
• An appreciation for autonomy, collaboration, and both immediate recruiting results and lasting improvements to the client’s hiring capabilities.

We are particularly interested in backgrounds supporting light industrial and manufacturing, commercial construction and skilled trades, information technology, engineering, operations and supply chain, and professional or corporate functions.

Experience in embedded recruiting, RPO, fractional recruiting, corporate talent acquisition, recruiting consulting, or building talent acquisition functions is especially valuable.
