Maximus is entering an exciting growth phase and we’re seeking a Senior Recruiter to lead our hiring efforts.

This is not your typical recruiting role. We are looking for someone who is exceptionally strategic, deeply operational, and thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You will work directly with the executive team to define needs, design roles, and project-manage hiring processes that set a new standard for excellence in talent acquisition.

Please note : Culture is key at Maximus, so we get to know candidates holistically through our questionnaire. You will receive an invite in a separate email upon submitting an application. Please fill it out as honestly and intuitively as possible since it is designed to detect exaggeration, which will cause your application to be automatically rejected. The questionnaire is optional to submit now with your application, but candidates that do so will get strongly prioritized. Note, we do not have access to individual questions’ answers / choices.

Responsibilities :

Lead Hiring Strategy :

Partner closely with the executive team to define talent needs, align on hiring priorities, and design roles that support current and future growth stages.

Act as a central hiring leader, deeply embedding yourself into team goals to ensure every hire is strategic and impactful.

Recruiting Excellence :

Work with hiring managers to understand job requirements, advise on compensation structure, and own job descriptions.

Build and execute customized, full-cycle staffing plans that attract top talent across engineering, research, design, and operations.

Create innovative sourcing strategies (e.g. active and passive sourcing campaigns, job boards, conferences, social media, employee networks, outside agencies, etc) tailored to each role and industry, ensuring a robust and diverse talent pipeline

Manage the candidate experience, ensuring every touchpoint is exceptional—even for those not moving forward.

Enablement & Branding :

Elevate the entire Maximus team as recruiters through training on intake calibration, candidate qualification, decision-making, and closing.

Qualities :

High Conscientiousness : Highly effective, organized, dutiful, self-disciplined, and careful. You are the type of person who used multiple colors of highlighters, and everyone wanted to borrow notes from. You never forget a task, execute it flawlessly, and are as reliable as clockwork.

High Horsepower & Humility : High intellectual and physical energy. You eagerly solve big, complex, and ambiguous company problems, while having the humility to “roll your sleeves up” and do the dirty work without complaint.

Creative Thinker : Highly creative thinker who tends to find solutions that others don’t see or inappropriately dismiss. Not content to do the safe bet everyone else takes.
