About Blacksmith Agency (BSA)

Blacksmith is a fully remote, design-forward web agency specializing in WordPress development for mid-market and enterprise clients.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter with 10+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience—someone who knows how to find, vet, and close top talent across sales, design, development, project management, and strategy roles.

• Partner with executive team to define role profiles, scorecards, and compensation bands

• Source both active and passive candidates using LinkedIn, niche job boards, and referrals

• Evaluate candidates for both cultural fit and role-specific competency—no checkbox recruiting

• Run structured, efficient processes that keep candidates informed and moving quickly

• Coordinate with hiring managers and streamline communication across stages

• Maintain clean candidate pipelines, track progress, and report metrics regularly

• Build and maintain a strong bench of freelancers and potential full-time hires for future roles

Qualifications

• 10+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in an agency or tech/digital environment

• Proven track record filling a wide range of roles (sales, designers, developers, PMs, etc.)

• Deep understanding of hiring remote talent globally (U.S., LATAM, India, etc.)

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment

• Excellent judgment—knows when to push a candidate forward and when to pass

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal

• Tech-savvy: experience using ATS (e.g. Ashby, Lever, or equivalent)

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience hiring in creative or digital agencies

• Ability to help improve internal hiring processes and playbooks

• Strong network of freelance and full-time talent in design/dev/PM space

What You’ll Get

• A responsive, decisive leadership team

• Flexible hours (as long as results are delivered)

• Remote work with high-impact hires

• A clear mission: hire smart, hungry, humble people who get things done.
