CSC Generation is an AI-native holding company that acquires and transforms iconic retail brands through its Genesis operating platform. The company manages a portfolio of 13+ brands including Sur La Table, Backcountry, and One Kings Lane, generating $1B+ in annual revenue.
You will serve as Executive & Strategic Recruiter, reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer. This is an end-to-end recruiting role focused on finding and closing executive, strategic, and highly specialized hires across CSC Generation's portfolio of brands and shared services. You will own complete search strategy and execution for roles where the ideal candidate is passive, difficult to locate, and actively pursued by competitors.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning end-to-end search strategy and execution for executive and hard-to-fill roles, including sourcing approach, assessment criteria, and offer strategy in partnership with hiring executives
- Proactively sourcing passive candidates through direct outreach, competitive talent mapping, referral networks, and platforms like LinkedIn
- Partnering directly with hiring executives to define role profiles and translate them into actionable sourcing strategies
- Closing searches for narrow candidate profiles, such as roles requiring deep applied AI or data science experience
- Building and maintaining relationships with high-value passive candidates over time to maintain a warm pipeline
- Managing confidential searches with discretion, including roles tied to organizational restructuring or leadership transitions
- Providing market intelligence on talent availability and competitive hiring activity
Success in the first 6–12 months means you have personally sourced and closed multiple senior-level searches, built a warm pipeline of high-value passive candidates, and established yourself as a trusted advisor to hiring executives across the portfolio. This is a lean team where you will own significant scope, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
The company offers competitive benefits including paid time off, 401(k) match (US) or RRSP match (Canada), medical/dental/vision coverage, supplemental benefits, and employee discounts across the portfolio of brands.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Demonstrated track record of sourcing and closing passive candidates for hard-to-fill executive or specialized roles — not just managing inbound pipelines. You must have personally sourced and closed 10–15 or more senior-level searches in the last 12 months.
- Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy, ambiguity, and direct executive access as an individual contributor
- A genuine network and instincts to know who to call, not just how to run a search
- Technical fluency with modern AI and automation tools, with demonstrated ability to use these tools to increase effectiveness and productivity while exercising judgment about where human review is required in candidate evaluation
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Search firm or agency recruiting background — experience cold-approaching candidates who weren't actively looking and making them interested in speaking
- Experience recruiting technical, data science, or AI talent, given CSC Generation's AI-first operating model
- Retail, e-commerce, or multi-brand holding company experience
