Hadley Designs • WorkFromHome, Western Cape, South Africa
1 day ago
Job description

Ready to help build a team that changes how children learn? At Hadley Designs, we believe learning should be fun, engaging, and full of heart. Our products help families trade screen time for connection and creativity, and that mission starts with the people we hire. We’re looking for a driven Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Lead who can help us find, attract, and hire exceptional talent that shares our purpose.

About Hadley Designs

Hadley Designs is a family‑founded, female‑led brand that is redefining early education through creativity, beauty, and connection. We design screen‑free learning tools that spark curiosity and confidence in children while giving parents peace of mind. Every product we make helps families rediscover the joy of learning together. That same passion drives our internal culture—great companies are built by people who care deeply about their craft, their team, and the families we serve.

About The Role

As our Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Lead, you’ll own the entire recruiting engine—from sourcing and screening to onboarding and employer branding. You’ll create a clean, efficient hiring system that delivers top‑tier candidates quickly and keeps the experience positive at every step.

Your Core Focus

  • Build, optimize, and run our full‑stack hiring system, including scorecards, test projects, and interview flows
  • Own every stage of the recruiting process across all departments
  • Deliver weekly hiring pipeline reports that highlight performance and bottlenecks
  • Protect and strengthen Hadley’s employer brand on platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn

What You’ll Do

  • Write, post, and manage compelling job listings that attract A‑players
  • Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, freelancer platforms, and referrals
  • Filter applicants for capability, culture fit, and scorecard alignment
  • Run test projects, review submissions, and conduct first‑round interviews
  • Manage the candidate experience from first touch through offer
  • Keep hiring systems (ClickUp, ATS) organized and up‑to‑date
  • Coordinate interviews with hiring managers and team members
  • Maintain onboarding checklists and ensure every new hire has a smooth start
  • Track and report weekly funnel metrics across all open roles
  • Manage and respond to Glassdoor reviews, maintaining a 4.5+ rating
  • Continuously refine sourcing strategies and test project frameworks
  • How Success Is Measured

  • Average time to fill roles under 45 days
  • Weekly applicant volume of at least 250 per active role
  • 100% completion rate on weekly hiring pipeline reports
  • Consistent 4.5+ Glassdoor rating
  • Minimum of 15 completed test projects reviewed per week
  • Who You Are

    You’re resourceful, fast, and outcome‑driven. You know how to fill a pipeline without relying on inbound flow and you take pride in running a tight, data‑driven process. You’re a straight shooter who spots red flags early and communicates clearly. You build trust through accountability, not talk.

    Requirements

  • 3–5 years of full‑cycle recruiting experience (bonus if in remote or e‑commerce orgs)
  • Proven success hiring for marketing, ops, Amazon, product, and leadership roles
  • Experience running structured interviews and test projects
  • Skilled with LinkedIn Recruiter, Workable, and other sourcing tools
  • Confident managing systems in ClickUp, Notion, or lightweight ATS platforms
  • Strong written communication—you know how to write posts that convert
  • Comfortable managing 5–10 active roles at once without dropping quality
  • Deep understanding of candidate psychology and brand reputation management
  • Self‑managed and highly accountable; you fix what’s broken without being told
  • Benefits

  • A remote‑first environment built on accountability and flexibility
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Access to ongoing learning and professional development
  • Free Hadley Designs products for your family
  • Regular collaboration with leadership, including the founders
  • A supportive, mission‑driven culture that values excellence and integrity
  • At Hadley Designs, you’ll do meaningful work that helps families everywhere rediscover the joy of real learning. We’re a remote‑first team built on trust, creativity, and autonomy. You’ll have the freedom to own your schedule and the space to grow your skills.

    Apply today and help us make learning fun, engaging, and screen‑free for families everywhere.
