In exchange, they give permission to use their real-time data for research, insights and targeted advertising.
At Attain, your contribution will help us build a more equitable and efficient data sharing ecosystem—whether helping consumers access modern financial services or businesses leverage data to achieve better outcomes. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with hands-on leaders and mission-driven individuals everyday.
About the Role
The People Operations team at Attain is seeking an experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist to support hiring efforts at our high-growth start-up in the AdTech space. Your main focus will be to partner closely with the Sr. Director of Talent Acquisition and internal hiring managers to source top-talent for open roles across multiple departments. You’ll help place new hires in our 4 offices (Chicago, Redwood City, New York City and Denver) and across our remote national & international team.
Most importantly, as a key member of our cross-functional People Operations team, you’ll help shape our employer brand and create exceptional candidate experiences that reflect Attain’s mission and values. With 150% YOY growth, this role is dynamic, fast-paced and (in our opinion) very exciting.
Please note, this is a contract-to-hire position with a specified 6-month duration (through December, 2025). There is the potential to convert to a full-time role, should the opportunity present itself, within a shorter time frame.
Additionally, this role requires talent to currently be based in Chicago, IL. You will work out of our downtown office space on a hybrid schedule (3 days per week in-office + 2 days per week from your home). This is an immediate need for our team, so we unfortunately will not be able to discuss the role with candidates who are not based in the Chicagoland area, nor those who would need relocation at a future date. Thank you for understanding.
No third party agencies, please.
