Search Lead

Location: Remote (Core Hours: 9 AM – 5 PM CST) Schedule: Monday–Friday Hours: 15–20 hours per week with a set schedule during core hours (with opportunity to grow) Type: W2 Part-Time Employee Who We Are Legacy HR Consulting puts the human back into HR. We're passionate about creating workplaces where people feel supported, respected, and empowered. We partner with mission-driven and social justice organizations to build inclusive workplaces that attract and retain dream teams. Our clients are committed to advancing social justice, including reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, racial equity, and economic justice. At Legacy HR Consulting, we're not just a team, we're a community. We value authenticity, empathy, and collaboration in all our relationships, whether with our clients or each other. What You’ll Be Doing We're looking for a Search Lead who can serve as the central coordinator and project manager for our recruiting engagements. You'll own the full recruitment process from kickoff to offer, ensuring searches move smoothly, clients feel supported, and candidates have an exceptional experience. This role blends recruiting intuition, strong project management, and hands-on execution. You'll be the glue that keeps everything moving: coordinating between our Client Lead, Candidate Lead, and Recruiting Operations while stepping in where needed to keep searches on track. Core Responsibilities Own and drive the full recruiting project from kickoff to closeout across all phases (posting, sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer). Serve as the central point of coordination between Client Lead, Candidate Lead, and internal recruiting support roles. Draft all client-facing recruiting deliverables, ensuring clarity, alignment, and a human-centered approach. Lead the internal recruiting project plan: assign tasks, track completion, identify risks or delays early, and communicate proactively. Ensure all systems (JazzHR, Loxo, ClickUp, and Google Suite) are updated in real-time and serve as the source of truth for search status. Provide regular updates in ClickUp and Slack on search status, bottlenecks, and progress. Communicate directly with clients on day-to-day recruiting updates, including scheduling, feedback loops, and any delays. Step in where needed to keep searches moving, whether that's screening candidates, reviewing resumes, or coordinating interviews. Collaborate with the Candidate Lead to ensure screenings are completed on time and candidates are nurtured throughout the process. Delegate and follow up on tasks assigned to Recruitment Operations and Internal Ops. Contribute to process improvement and help build recruiting SOPs that center equity and candidate experience. What Makes This Role Unique You'll have autonomy to move work forward proactively: adjusting timelines, filling gaps, and communicating directly with clients. You're empowered to make decisions about task assignments, coordination, and day-to-day execution. This isn't a people management role, but you will hold team accountability and ensure deliverables are completed with quality and care. Equity in Practice At Legacy HRC, we don't just talk about equity, we build it into how we show up. In this role, you'll apply an equity lens to recruiting processes, ensuring our searches attract diverse talent and our client and candidate communications reflect inclusion and accessibility. We encourage learning, curiosity, feedback, and humility in our efforts to build workplaces that center justice and belonging. Who You Are We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of recruiting and project management. You're a proactive coordinator who can see around corners, communicate clearly, and keep multiple searches moving without dropping the ball.
