R4R Recruiter
TRM Labs
TRM Labs is a blockchain intelligence company committed to fighting crime and creating a safer world. By leveraging blockchain data, threat intelligence, and advanced analytics, our products empower governments, financial institutions, and crypto businesses to combat illicit activity and global security threats. At TRM, you'll join a mission-driven, fast-paced team made up of experts in law enforcement, data science, engineering, and financial intelligence, tackling complex global challenges daily. Whether analyzing blockchain data, developing cutting-edge tools, or collaborating with global organizations, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
As an R4R Recruiter, you will play a critical role in scaling the recruiting function itself — leading hiring efforts for recruiters, coordinators, and sourcing roles — during a critical phase of growth. This role will focus exclusively on R4R for the first 3-6 months, partnering directly with the VP of Talent and Recruiting Leadership to build a high-performing, async-first, globally distributed team. You’ll own the full-cycle recruiting process, craft best-in-class candidate experiences, and shape the foundation of how we scale our own hiring engine.
The impact you will have:
- Own and drive full-cycle hiring for recruiters, RCs, sourcers, and recruiting leadership roles.
- Develop and lead R4R sourcing strategies focused on quality, speed, and candidate experience.
- Create candidate experiences that model best-in-class recruiting and reflect TRM’s culture and values at every touchpoint.
- Develop creative sourcing strategies and market maps to find and engage high-caliber recruiters in competitive markets.
- Act as a brand ambassador and hiring advisor, helping define what “great” looks like for each Talent hire.
- Build a proactive “skateboard” system to continuously inventory recruiter talent, enabling TRM to quickly scale hiring in response to new requisitions and increased capacity.
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong focus on R4R hiring.
- Proven track record hiring recruiters and other talent professionals in high-growth environments.
- Strong understanding of compliance-sensitive hiring environments and regulated functions.
- Ability to handle a high volume of diverse requisitions while maintaining attention to detail.
- Structured communicator with a proactive mindset and comfort working async.
- Skilled in delivering exceptional candidate experience across roles and levels.
About the Team:
- Our talent team is fully remote, embracing async communication and collaboration through Slack channels, thorough documentation, and proactive updates to keep work moving forward smoothly across time zones.
- We’re committed to structured alignment, holding weekly hiring syncs for each role, weekly team sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings to ensure everyone is on the same page and to solve challenges collectively.
- Driven by a dedication to our craft, we continuously refine our best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for both internal stakeholders and candidates, supported by precise, reliable reporting.
- As a globally distributed team, we operate across various time zones, yet most of us overlap for collaboration and meetings between 7am-12pm PST, bringing flexibility and resilience to our work routines.
- All team members, regardless of location, maintain at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours to enable real-time collaboration and drive solutions effectively across the team.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
- Within 72 hours of receiving a position, you attend the intake meeting prepared with a Total Addressable Market (TAM) overview and 5-10 sample profiles to review with the hiring team.
- Within 48 hours of receiving initial candidate feedback, you refine search criteria based on the hiring team’s insights, then, within 24 hours, create A/B outreach messaging to engage targeted profiles and aim to source 100 candidates within the first week.
- While sourcing externally, you identify 5 team members at TRM with relevant networks, proactively reaching out via Slack to schedule a "sourcing jam" with the recruiter to explore potential referrals.
- Two weeks after the initial outreach, you analyze sourcing data to identify what is and isn’t driving conversions. You share your insights and recommendations with the hiring team to refine and optimize the outreach strategy, and you continue to monitor and adjust the approach until the position is filled.
