Talent Acquisition Specialist - Canopy Connect

We’re looking for a mission-driven Talent Acquisition Specialist who will own hiring end-to-end. You’ll recruit for Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Marketing, and specialist roles as they come up. You’ll be the go-to person for how we find, assess, and close great people, and you’ll have a direct hand in shaping the team that builds Canopy.

How This Role Works

This role starts as a 3-month independent contractor engagement, with the goal of converting to a full-time employee position. During the contract, you’ll work on live searches with our hiring managers to assess fit. At the end of the three months, if it’s working for both sides, you’ll convert to a full-time employee. Employee benefits start at conversion.

What You'll Do

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle: work with hiring managers on role requirements, write job descriptions, post roles, source, screen, coordinate interview loops, and run offers/close candidates.
• Handle all sourcing in-house through LinkedIn, referrals, communities, outbound, and other active and passive channels (no external recruiting agencies).
• Partner with hiring managers on interview design, scorecards, and calibration for consistent and fast decision-making.
• Run the ATS and hiring operations, including pipeline hygiene, reporting, templates, and offer workflows.
• Provide an exceptional candidate experience and act as an ambassador for Canopy’s mission and culture.
• Strengthen employer branding through job content, candidate communications, and hiring channel presence.
• Track recruiting metrics such as time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, and source effectiveness to drive continuous improvement.
• Recruit across the US and Canada.
