Company Overview

Robots & Pencils is a digital innovation consulting firm that partners with organizations to solve meaningful, complex problems through technology, design, and engineering. We move fast, work at the edge of what's possible, and rely on exceptional people to deliver for our clients.

As we continue to scale, we're ready to move from a reactive, just-in-time hiring model to a predictable, strategic, and business-aligned resourcing function — and this role will lead that transformation.

Position Overview

This is a build-and-lead role.

Today, recruiting and resourcing are largely reactive — driven by urgent needs, shifting priorities, and limited forecasting. That approach has helped us move quickly, but it's no longer sustainable for where we're headed.

We're looking for a senior leader who can design and implement a best-in-class resourcing and recruiting function — one that brings clarity, discipline, and foresight while still supporting a fast-moving consulting business.

Reporting to the VP of People & Talent, and leading a team of 5+ professionals at various levels, you'll establish the strategy, operating model, and standards for how we plan, hire, and deploy talent — while also rolling up your sleeves to stabilize execution in the near term.

Key Responsibilities:

Build the Resourcing & Recruiting Operating Model

• Design and implement an end-to-end resourcing and recruiting model that moves the organization from reactive to planned and predictable.
• Introduce structure, prioritization, and decision frameworks to replace ad-hoc, just-in-time hiring.
• Establish clear roles, ownership, and expectations across recruiting, hiring managers, and business leaders.
• Build a cohesive resourcing and recruiting model that is tightly integrated and complementary to the employee lifecycle, ultimately supporting smooth talent deployment.

Strategic Workforce & Capacity Planning

• Partner with Delivery, Sales, and Finance to forecast talent needs based on pipeline, client demand, and delivery capacity.
• Translate business demand into realistic hiring plans that balance speed, quality, and cost.
• Help leadership navigate bench vs. hire-ahead tradeoffs with data and insight.

Recruiting Excellence & Consistency

• Design and establish a standardized recruiting processes, tools, and hiring practices across the organization.
• Improve quality of hire, time-to-fill, and candidate experience — without burning out the team.
• Ensure recruiting practices scale effectively across technical, consulting, and professional roles.

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, coach, and develop the recruiting and resourcing team through change and a rapidly change environment.
• Set clear priorities and expectations in an environment that has historically been urgent and fragmented.
• Build confidence and capability within the team to act as strategic partners, not order-takers.
• Define standardized operating practice that ensure consistent and effective delivery regardless of the area of the business being served.

Hiring Manager Partnership

• Reset expectations with hiring leaders around what great recruiting looks like — and what it requires.
• Provide clarity on timelines, tradeoffs, and market realities.
• Act as a trusted advisor who brings calm, data, and judgment into high-pressure hiring decisions.

Data, Metrics & Visibility

• Define and track meaningful recruiting and resourcing metrics (capacity, demand, time to fill, pipeline health, quality of hire).
• Improve visibility so leaders can make informed decisions rather than reacting to surprises.
• Translate data into insight-driven narratives that drive continuous improvement — not just report on it.

Change Leadership

• Lead the organization through a mindset shift from urgency-driven hiring to thoughtful planning.
• Bring credibility, clarity, and empathy to change — acknowledging what's worked while building what's needed next.

Candidate Qualifications:

Experience & Background:

• 10+ years in talent acquisition and/or resourcing in a consulting, professional services, delivery-based or similar environment, with progressive leadership responsibility.
• Proven experience leading teams through change.
• Strong understanding of consulting or project-based delivery models.
• Deep knowledge of recruiting markets for technical, professional and delivery roles.
• Technically savvy, including experience with communications systems such (ex. Slack and SharePoint).
• Excellent leadership, coaching, and communication skills.
• Willingness and ability to jump in on recruiting assignments if needed.

You are someone who:

• Has built or significantly transformed a recruiting and resourcing function before — ideally in consulting, professional services, or a delivery-based environment.
• Is comfortable stepping into ambiguity and creating order without over-engineering.
• Can balance strategy with hands-on execution, especially in the early phases.
• Knows how to influence senior leaders, reset expectations, and say "not yet" or "not like this" when needed.
• Uses data to inform decisions but understands the human dynamics of hiring and delivery.
• Leads with calm, credibility, and pragmatism — especially when things are messy.
• Proactively anticipate business needs by deeply understanding company strategy and translating it into forward-looking talent and resourcing plans.

• Implement and maintain a comprehensive Quality Management System following industry best practices with the goal of maintaining ISO 9001 certification.
• Promote an environment of continuous improvement using quality and lean tools and methodologies.
• Ensure associates are aware of the quality policy, relevant quality objectives, their contribution to the effectiveness of the QMS, and implications of not conforming with QMS requirements.
• Guide Top Management in quality planning including actions to address risks and opportunities, and the establishment and achievement of quality objectives.
• Plan and conduct the internal audit program. Serve as the point of contact for external audits. React to nonconformances in a timely manner.
• Represent the company as applicable in professional dealings with customers and suppliers including resolving customer complaints and handling quality enquiries from internal and external sources.
• Manage root cause investigations and planning and implementation of permanent corrective actions for product and process quality issues.
  
  

• Bachelor’s Degree, preferably in Engineering or a related field.
• ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor training and/or certification.
• Demonstrable results in QMS design, implementation, and improvement.
• 5 years of experience in Quality Engineering within a manufacturing industry, preferably in electronics.
  
  

• Strong leadership skills with the ability to earn respect, promote teamwork and collaboration, meet project deadlines, and lead by example.
• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
• Ability to effectively interact with all levels of Executive, Senior, and Facility Management.
• Strong technical and regulatory expertise in quality requirements and knowledge of applicable industry standards.
• Experience in nonconformity investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action management.
• Lean six sigma certification and/or experience is preferred.
