About the role

Job Description BusPlanner is hiring a People & Talent Acquisition Manager to take complete ownership of our recruiting and talent sourcing functions and help scale our growing team.
This role is the first of its kind and is a high-ownership position that combines hands-on recruiting, strategic talent acquisition, and people operations.
It is ideal for someone who is proactive, highly energetic, detail-oriented, and excited to help us find and win over top-tier candidates in a high-growth environment.

You'll serve as the first dedicated people hire, working closely with leadership to own the end-to-end recruitment funnel while also helping implement lightweight HR processes related to onboarding, compliance, and employee engagement.
Partner with hiring managers to understand talent needs and develop sourcing strategies that deliver results quickly.
Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline for current and future needs.
Own and improve core recruiting processes to enhance candidate experience and time-to-hire.
Support lightweight HR operations including onboarding, performance processes, and compliance.
Maintain accurate employee data in our HRIS (Workable).

You are entrepreneurial and resourceful - you take initiative, adapt quickly, and enjoy solving complex challenges.
You are a hunter when it comes to talent - you love identifying, engaging, and winning over exceptional candidates.
You are process-minded - you're comfortable implementing repeatable recruiting systems.
You are people-oriented - you value strong team relationships and want to help others succeed.
You are organized and responsive - you balance recruiting urgency and candidate experience with ease.
You are a confident communicator - you're comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders, in person or virtually.

2-5 years in HR, people operations, or talent roles, ideally within SaaS, startups, or early-stage companies.
Experience working in environments where HR functions had to be built or redefined from the ground up.
Familiarity with Canadian and U.S. labor laws and employee lifecycle best practices.
Strong communication and presentation skills - comfortable advising leadership and supporting employee conversations.
You are not interested in proactively recruiting talent via outbound channels.
You are not interested in rolling up your sleeves and having a "just-get-it-done" mindset.
Looking for a typical 9-5 where every day looks the same.
You prefer highly structured environments with rigid processes and step-by-step instructions.
