A bit about us
We’re a venture-backed startup on a mission to change the future of hospitality and home. With properties in some of America’s most-loved cities, our unique platform allows buildings to blur the line between hotels and apartments. This all-in-one solution includes property operations, customer acquisitions, and the tech stack to operate with more flexibility than any other company in the market.
Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and tremendous value in the underlying real estate. Whether guests are with us for a night, a year, or somewhere in between, these are more than just spaces to spend the night—they’re a place to call home.
Our property team members bring our business to life at each building, focusing on execution, along with resident and guest experience. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform.
The Impact You'll Have
At Placemakr, our obsession with exceptional service doesn’t stop at our current team members, guests, residents and partners – it encompasses our prospective team members as well. As a hands-on Manager, Talent Acquisition, your mission will be to support the hiring of key property and non-property team members, implement strategic recruiting initiatives and directly manage a small but powerful team of recruiters. You will closely partner with (and report to) the Associate Director, PX Business Partnerships and Talent Acquisition, to build and execute strategies that identify, attract and secure the very best talent, including serving as a source of expertise for our hiring managers on workforce globalization efforts and Talent Acquisition best practices.
As one of Placemakr’s first points of contact for our candidates and hiring managers, you will embody and champion our Community Norms and pride yourself in providing a world-class hiring experience. To be successful in this role, you must be a client-focused, thoughtful, problem-solver, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. As Manager, Talent Acquisition you can expect to source and vet candidates for positions including property leadership, engineering, sales and more.
