Sr. Recruiter (Contract)

Hey, I’m Avery, Founder & CEO of Bloom. We’re a workplace consultancy that partners with founder-led, growing small to mid-sized companies who are bold enough to prioritize strong people systems—early. The companies we work with know that building inclusive, high-performing workplaces doesn’t happen by accident. They’re invested. They care. They just don’t need full-time HR hire (yet).
That’s where you come in.

This is a part-time contract role where you’ll act as a fractional Recruiting Partner across our clients—building, refining, and executing talent acquisition processes that help teams grow with the right people. You’ll drive meaningful, strategic hiring initiatives while staying hands-on with sourcing, screening, and managing the full recruitment cycle. And you’ll have the support of our Bloom collective beside you.

Who We Are (and Who We Work With)

At Bloom, we’re not your typical HR consultancy. We work with founder-led, purpose-driven companies who’ve made the smart choice to prioritize their people early. Most of our clients are small to mid-sized businesses (think 10–150 employees) that know building an intentional, inclusive culture doesn’t just happen—it takes work.

They care deeply about creating strong, scalable people systems that align with their values, but they don’t need a full-time HR hire just yet. What they need is an expert partner who can help them build it right the first time.

That’s where we come in.

We embed ourselves as fractional HR and DEI partners, providing leadership coaching, HR advisory, recruitment support, and the hands-on work of building policies, systems, and processes that are inclusive by design. Whether it’s making a client’s very first hire, designing progressive people policies, or guiding a founder through a tricky team challenge—we’re in it with them, doing the work that shapes high-performing, human-first workplaces.

We don’t believe in band-aid solutions or corporate jargon. We believe in co-creating better workplaces with the people who are bold enough to build them differently.

The Opportunity (Spoiler: You'll make a big impact)

  • Manage the full cycle recruitment process while providing world-class candidate and applicant experiences;
  • Foster long-term relationships with candidates for current and future opportunities;
  • Strategically go-to-market to support Bloom clients with engaging, assessing and hiring more diverse folks to join their team;

  • Advise clients on how to build their team through the lens of inclusion;
  • Cultivate a thoughtful and values driven approach to support our clients with hiring;
  • Provide regular updates and shared analytics with Bloom clients;
  • Flex your creative sourcing muscles to build diverse candidate pipelines.

Compensation + Location + Hours

  • $45 - $55 CAD per hour
  • You will be joining Bloom via your corporation or as an independent contractor.
  • We are 100% remote and encourage folks to work where they can do their best work. That said, since we’re often meeting with clients, we expect contractors in the Bloom collective to conduct their work from a private, secure, and quiet space to ensure a distraction-free environment.

More about us: Fractional Work, Full Support

  • While you’ll be the face of Recruitment for our client, you’ll never be on an island. At Bloom, we work fractionally but collectively. Our Advisors lean on each other, share resources, troubleshoot challenges, and learn together.
  • You’ll have input on the clients we work with and how we work with them. We don’t take on just anyone. Values alignment is a must—for us and for you.
  • Fractional work isn’t “less than”—it’s intentional. It’s for people who want meaningful work, variety, and flexibility without being tied to a single desk 40+ hours a week. It takes agility, autonomy, and a collaborative mindset. If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
At Bloom, we treat compensation as an open, honest dialogue. Early in the interview process, we’ll confirm that you’re comfortable with a salary within the listed range. From there, as you learn more about the role and the full compensation package, we always welcome you to share if your expectations shift. We’ll also have three check ins throughout the process to make sure we’re staying aligned so that by the time we get to an offer, it feels clear, fair, and mutual.
Our use of AI in hiring

We believe transparency matters, especially as technology evolves.At Bloom, we may leverage AI as a supportive tool when developing role descriptions, interview questions, take home assignments, and interview guides, where appropriate, with the goal of improving clarity, consistency, and accessibility for candidates. However, we do not use AI to source, assess, screen, or interview candidates. Every application is reviewed by a human, every interview is conducted by a human, and all hiring decisions are made by people, not automated systems. Human judgment, care, and accountability are central to how we hire.

We care deeply about offering all applicants a fair and consistent selection process. While we’d love to connect with every candidate individually, we’re unable to accommodate one-on-one conversations before the interview stage. Keeping our process structured helps us reduce bias and ensure we’re selecting facilitators based on skills, experience, and alignment with our mission.

Bloom is committed to equity and inclusion in our hiring. If you’re a person with a disability and require accommodations during the application process, please reach out to erica@buildwithbloom.com—we’ll work with you to meet your needs at every stage. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, including those from historically marginalized communities.

We know there are many great opportunities out there, so we appreciate you considering Bloom as part of your journey.
