About Halter

At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard.

We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

About the role:

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Talent Specialist, US to join our People and Culture team in Boulder Colorado. This is a pivotal role for someone who’s passionate about finding great talent and working across various markets. We fundamentally believe the biggest driver of company success will be the speed and quality of our hiring. It sets the foundation for everything else that we do to achieve our ambitious mission.

You’ll play a hands-on role in attracting, sourcing, and hiring world-class talent to support our business as we scale globally. You’ll work closely with hiring managers to understand their team needs, anticipate upcoming roles, and manage end-to-end recruitment processes that ensure we bring in exceptional people who align with our mission and values.

Reporting to the Talent Lead, GTM & Customer, you’ll focus on executing recruitment strategies, managing candidate pipelines, and delivering an outstanding candidate experience that reflects the calibre of our product and culture.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys partnering closely with teams across the business, and wants to have a direct impact on how we grow.

Who we're looking for:

• 8+ years in talent acquisition/recruitment, ideally in high-growth or global tech environments and multiple disciplines (even better if you have extensive experience recruiting GTM roles, specifically sales and marketing roles!)

• Proven experience building and scaling high-performing teams across multiple regions.

• Strategic business partner who can zoom in and out: from exec-level reporting to day-to-day hiring excellence. Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, a true business partner to hiring teams.

• Demonstrated success working in a fast-paced, high-volume hiring environment without compromising on the quality of talent we bring through the door.

• You’ll have a deep knowledge of sourcing techniques and channels, and know what it takes to seek out the best talent globally.

• Strong reporting and data skills; you’re able to track, analyse, and present key hiring metrics where needed.

• Familiarity with employment laws, immigration requirements, and compliance across United States.

• High emotional intelligence with excellent communication skills; a proactive, solutions-focused self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes strong ownership and accountability.

What your day could look like:

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for roles across regions and functions, from sourcing and screening to coordinating interviews and supporting offer processes.

• Contribute to talent strategy and workforce planning, supporting forward-looking hiring plans, capability mapping, and future skill needs as the business scales.

• Help shape and evolve our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), partnering with People & Performance and the business to ensure our story resonates in the market and reflects the real employee experience.

• Build scalable recruitment practices and foundations, designing processes, tools, and ways of working that can flex across regions, functions, and increasing hiring volumes.

• Upskill and enable hiring leaders, through coaching, training, and ongoing partnership to lift interviewing quality, assessment rigour, and hiring decision-making.

• Support compensation benchmarking and market insights, contributing data and insights to inform fair, competitive, and consistent offers aligned to our compensation philosophy.

• Partner on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, helping embed inclusive hiring practices and broaden access to talent across all roles.

• Represent Halter in the market, acting as an ambassador at events, universities, and industry forums to strengthen our talent brand.

• Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines for current and future roles, proactively sourcing talent through multiple channels.

• Work closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements, team goals, and key success profiles.

• Provide guidance on hiring processes and help managers run smooth, effective, and inclusive recruitment cycles.

• Deliver an exceptional, consistent candidate experience at every stage of the process, reflecting our culture and values.

• Ensure all communication and interactions contribute positively to our employer brand.

• Maintain our ATS and recruitment workflows to keep the hiring process efficient and organised.

• Track and share key metrics like time-to-fill, pipeline progress, and candidate feedback to help improve our approach over time.

• Support initiatives around internal mobility, diversity, and employer branding.

• Look for opportunities to improve recruitment processes and tools as we scale.

• We’re a fast-moving growth company, so from time to time, other responsibilities will pop up and you’ll be part of making it all happen!

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): Own a part of Halter and share in our growth and success
