Vox Media is seeking a Senior Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring across editorial (New York Magazine & Vox), podcast (Vox Media Podcast Network), revenue, and operations functions. This is a permanent, full-time, benefits-eligible position based in the New York City office.
You will manage end-to-end recruiting—intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and close—for a diverse portfolio of roles. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and senior leaders to scope positions, build hiring plans, and serve as a strategic advisor throughout searches. Rather than relying solely on inbound applications, you'll build and maintain proactive, representative talent pipelines through sourcing, referrals, and passive-candidate outreach.
You'll deliver a high-touch candidate experience that reflects well on Vox Media through timely communication, clear expectations, and thoughtful follow-through. You'll structure and run consistent, bias-aware interview processes, including writing job scorecards and coaching interviewers on effective, legally sound interviewing. Managing multiple concurrent searches with competing timelines while keeping hiring managers and candidates aligned is core to the role.
You'll own offer strategy and negotiation in partnership with People leadership, balancing candidate expectations with internal equity and approved compensation bands. You'll track and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and other recruiting metrics, using data to flag risks and recommend adjustments. Staying current on the media, journalism, and podcasting talent landscape is expected, and you'll bring market insights back to hiring teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (strong preference for in-house recruiting)
- Proven track record closing candidates
- Specific experience recruiting editorial, creative, and audio/podcast talent
- Strong sourcing skills and ability to proactively find candidates
- Stakeholder management expertise; comfort advising and constructively pushing back on hiring managers, including senior leaders
- Demonstrated commitment to building equitable hiring processes by design
- Excellent organizational skills managing multiple concurrent requisitions
- Comfort with ATS systems and recruiting process design
- Clear, warm, and timely communication
- Genuine passion for talent acquisition and familiarity with Vox Media brands and shows
