Dallas, TX | Hybrid (Typically 2-3 Days In Office)

About the Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing, private equity-backed professional services organization operating a national platform of accounting, tax, and advisory firms. Recognized as one of the fastest-growing organizations in its sector, the company continues to expand through strategic acquisitions and is seeking a highly motivated Talent Acquisition Manager to support ongoing growth initiatives.

This newly created position offers the opportunity to become the central recruiting resource for a growing national platform, partnering directly with executive leadership, firm partners, and external recruiting agencies to attract top accounting and finance talent.

This is an ideal opportunity for a recruiter who enjoys both strategy and execution and wants to play a visible role in shaping a growing Talent Acquisition function.

Position Summary
