Who We Are

Let’s be honest — Recruiting is a DIRTY Word. That’s exactly why PKR exists.

I’m Kelly Robinson, Founder & CEO, and I built PKR to prove that recruiting doesn’t have to be transactional, exhausting, or fake. We do things differently — and we do them better. We lead with people first, process second, and ego never. Our approach is simple: Recruiting with Integrity and Intention.

At PKR, we’re redefining what it means to be a recruiting partner. We don’t just fill roles — we build relationships. We bring structure, strategy, and substance to every search, helping companies hire smarter and faster while keeping the human side front and center. Our team is tight-knit, supportive, and fun — we work hard, laugh often, and show up for each other. We collaborate constantly, face-to-face over video, because connection matters. We don’t micromanage — we hire adults who care, communicate, and deliver.

Our culture runs on GRIT — Gumption, Resilience, Integrity, and Transparency. We get it done, we keep it real, and we never lose sight of why we do this work — because people matter.

What We Need

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner who knows how to make recruiting feel human again. This contract role supports professional-level, full-cycle recruiting across multiple corporate functions. You’ll partner directly with client HR and hiring leaders, guiding everything from candidate engagement to onboarding — ensuring an exceptional experience on both sides.

This is a hybrid role, primarily remote with onsite collaboration in Nashville 4-8 times per month.

Who You Are

You’re confident, curious, and know your craft. You can talk to anyone — from an entry-level analyst to a C-suite exec — and make it feel effortless. You dig deep in interviews to uncover who people really are, not just what they’ve done.

You’re down to earth, approachable, and authentic. You’re confident in your recruiting and relationship-building skills and take pride in your credibility — earned through results and integrity. You work well independently but thrive in a collaborative, slightly sarcastic, always supportive team that knows how to win and have fun doing it.

We don’t micro-manage. We hire adults. If you need help, you ask. If you say you’ll do something, you do it. We care about quality, but we also know that quality takes consistency — because great hires don’t just fall from the sky.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with client HR, hiring, and leadership teams to manage full-cycle recruiting.
• Lead intake sessions and design thoughtful sourcing and hiring strategies.
• Proactively source and engage talent using LinkedIn and other sourcing tools.
• Conduct meaningful interviews that go beyond skills — attributes matter too.
• Present qualified candidates with insight, context, and confidence.
• Coordinate interviews, gather feedback, and guide offers to close.
• Communicate with clarity, empathy, and transparency throughout the process.
• Live PKR’s GRIT values: Gumption, Resilience, Integrity, and Transparency.

What You’ll Need

• 2–4 years of full-cycle corporate recruiting experience (agency-only backgrounds won’t cut it).
• Proven success hiring for professional-level corporate roles.
• Experience using LinkedIn and comfort working in an ATS, CRM, or Talent Intelligence Platform (TIP).
• Strong communication, interviewing, and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence engaging with people at all levels and influencing the outcomes.
• Ability to work independently and stay connected in a remote, video-driven environment.
• Organized, proactive, and driven — quality and productivity matter here.
• A sense of humor — it’s practically required.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred or equivalent experience.

What We Offer

• This is a hybrid role, primarily remote with onsite collaboration in Nashville 4-8 times per month.
• A transparent, collaborative, and high-performing team environment.
• Freedom to do your job like a grown-up — no micromanagement, no drama.
• Exposure to diverse clients, industries, and projects that keep things interesting.
• A culture that celebrates GRIT and lives out Recruiting with Integrity and Intention.

Why You Should Apply

Because you’re tired of the old way recruiting works — and you’re ready to be part of something better.

At PKR, you’ll work with people who actually love this industry and believe it can be done with integrity, transparency, and purpose. You’ll have the autonomy to do your best work, the support of a team that’s got your back, and a leader who believes in building careers — not burning them out.

If you’re passionate about recruiting, crave meaningful connection, and want to work for a company that’s as real as you are — we’d love to "meet" you.
