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 roles. This is a permanent, full-time position based in the New York City office.
You will manage the complete recruiting lifecycle—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 open 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.
Key responsibilities include delivering a high-touch candidate experience with timely communication and clear expectations; structuring and running consistent, bias-aware interview processes with job scorecards and interviewer coaching; managing multiple concurrent searches with competing timelines; owning offer strategy and negotiation in partnership with People leadership; tracking recruiting metrics (pipeline health, time-to-fill) and using data to flag risks and recommend adjustments; and staying current on the media, journalism, and podcasting talent landscape to bring market insights to hiring teams.
You'll represent Vox Media to every candidate, whether hired or not, and build hiring processes that are equitable by design from first outreach to final offer.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with strong preference for in-house recruiting
- Proven track record for closing candidates
- Specific experience recruiting editorial, creative, and audio/podcast talent
- Strong sourcing skills and ability to proactively find candidates rather than waiting for applications
- Stakeholder management expertise; confidence advising and constructively pushing back on hiring managers, including senior leaders
- Excellent organizational skills to manage a busy, varied requisition load
- Systems expertise with ATS platforms and ability to partner on recruiting process design
- Clear, warm, and timely communication skills
- Passion for talent acquisition and genuine familiarity with Vox Media brands and shows
- Understanding that diverse slates alone don't move the needle; commitment to building equitable hiring processes by design
