Strategic Headhunter at Dulcedo managing talent pipelines and building relationships in the creative industry. Focused on proactive sourcing and market intelligence for long-term growth.
Responsibilities
Identify, approach and engage high-potential Agent profiles through proactive, targeted headhunting.
Map key markets (Montréal, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, etc.) and analyze competing ecosystems.
Become the internal reference for who does what, where and why in the industry.
Build and maintain long-term human relationships with rare, brilliant and ambitious talent — year-round.
Position Dulcedo as an employer of choice through a credible, intelligent and authentic approach.
Build living, qualified pipelines that can be activated at any time (no more emergency hiring).
Supply the majority of openings with thoughtfully headhunted, aligned candidates.
Read between the lines of the market: anticipate movements, detect weak signals and identify talent before competitors do.
Work closely with the Talent Acquisition team to turn market intelligence into concrete decisions.
Keep a clear, structured overview of all your leads in our ATS (Lever).
Have a direct impact on Dulcedo’s growth without being measured solely by number of hires.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in recruitment, headhunting or executive search OR a strong background in sales/business development with a heavy relationship component.
A hunter mentality: you know the best talent doesn’t apply — they must be attracted.
Proven experience building pipelines before roles open.
Comfortable working with mid to senior profiles and conducting high-value strategic conversations.
Ability to craft messages that get responses (not spam).
A natural talent for turning an initial conversation into a long-term relationship.
A Type A personality: structured, methodical, performance- and optimization-oriented.
Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter (boolean, advanced outbound, follow-ups).
Experience with ATS and a clear understanding of the importance of clean pipelines.
Professional proficiency in English is required to operate in our North American environment; bilingual English–French is a strong asset.
A strong interest in the creative industries, entertainment and talent management.
Real motivation for a clear compensation structure (base + bonus) aligned with impact.
This role is for you if you want to be recognized as an expert, influence decisions and become a market reference.
