Lead Recruiter

SafeLease is an insurance technology company that specializes in commercial real estate.

We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper. To do that, we’ve brought the entire insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, and reinsurance—under one roof to drive innovation in an industry that’s ripe for change.

We are looking for a Lead Recruiter to take ownership of our recruitment efforts as we continue to scale. This is a hands-on role where you’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, enhance our employer brand, and ensure we attract and retain the best talent to support our growth. This is a hybrid role based in downtown Austin, Texas.

• Own full-cycle hiring: Lead the recruitment process end-to-end, from sourcing through onboarding, ensuring efficiency and a best-in-class candidate experience.

• Partner with leaders: Collaborate with executives and hiring managers to define role requirements, align on talent needs, and shape customized recruiting strategies.

• Source and build pipeline: Leverage creative outreach, referrals, and networks to attract top talent today while building a strong bench for tomorrow.

• Elevate our brand: Craft job descriptions, refresh career pages, and create candidate-facing content that reflects SafeLease’s culture and values.

• Engage externally: Represent SafeLease at events, career fairs, and industry conferences to increase visibility and attract high-quality candidates.

• Use data to optimize: Track and analyze recruiting metrics to continuously improve speed, quality, and process effectiveness.

• Stay ahead of trends: Monitor the market and apply best practices to keep SafeLease’s recruitment strategies competitive and innovative.
