Talent Acquisition Partner

Summary

Shane Co. is a family-owned jeweler building lasting relationships, meaningful careers, and a people-focused culture. The Talent Acquisition Partner will build and manage proactive talent pipelines across the East region, advise store and senior leaders on hiring strategy, own full-cycle recruiting, and improve recruiting processes and data. This remote role includes regular presence in stores, local communities, conferences, and events.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain talent pipelines for critical and recurring store roles across your region, including jewelry consultants, sales leadership, customer service, and operations
• Engage strong candidates before a requisition opens and keep those relationships warm over months, not weeks
• Get to know passive talent: their motivations, their strengths, and where they want their careers to go
• Represent Shane Co. at job fairs, industry and community events, and university partnerships, and create local recruiting activations of your own
• Grow Shane Co.’s employer brand on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other professional platforms
• Spend meaningful time in our stores to learn the business, the teams, and what great looks like in each market
• Lead structured intake conversations with Store Managers, field leaders, HR partners, and senior leadership
• Get to the business need behind every search and align early on qualifications, process, timing, and hiring strategy
• Turn market-specific staffing needs into proactive sourcing and recruiting plans
• Bring market intelligence, including talent availability, competitor activity, and compensation trends, to inform hiring strategy and workforce planning
• Give a clear point of view on candidates and market conditions, and offer practical alternatives when a request won’t lead to a strong hire
• Own full-cycle recruiting in your markets: sourcing, engagement, assessment, interview coordination, selection, offer management, and follow-through to Day 1
• Treat every candidate the way we treat every customer: timely, honest, and personal at every step, whether or not they get the job
• Present Shane Co.’s culture, career paths, and expectations with clarity and honesty
• Lead and support hiring events and store-level recruiting initiatives
• Balance priorities across multiple markets without dropping follow-through
• Keep candidate, pipeline, requisition, and activity data accurate in our applicant tracking system and other systems of record
• Use recruiting data to drive pipeline visibility, reporting, and better hiring decisions across your region
• Recommend practical improvements that make recruiting more efficient without losing the relationship-first approach
• Facilitate hiring-related training for store leaders as assigned
• Share what’s working, including sourcing practices, market observations, and recruiting insights, with field and HR leadership

Skills

• 4+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience with a proven track record of proactive relationship-building, not just requisition management
• Experience representing an employer brand externally through job fairs, industry associations, community organizations, or campus partnerships
• Specific examples of building and sustaining a talent pipeline ahead of open need
• Experience advising hiring managers and senior leaders with market data and a point of view, including the confidence to push back when a request works against a strong outcome
• The warmth, presence, and polish to represent a fine jeweler in high-visibility settings
• Comfort with ambiguity and competing priorities, paired with consistent follow-through
• Working knowledge of an applicant tracking system and the ability to learn new tools quickly
• Equivalent experience welcome. In-house, agency, and field recruiting backgrounds are all considered
• You must live in Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, or Minnesota and within 50 miles of a Shane Co. store
• Retail or multi-site hiring experience is a plus
• Bachelor's degree preferred
