The National Recruitment Manager will be responsible for the creation and implementation of a multi-faceted campaign to recruit applicants to our two organizing programs in multiple states and cities across the country. This includes writing copy for advertisements and posting them, working with the program staff to ensure recruitment goals and benchmarks are being met throughout the program, and adjusting strategy to meet goals accordingly.  This program will ultimately scale up to an expected total of 12,000 hired contractors at most. We will need to recruit approximately 4 times as many contractors as we expect to hire, so this position’s ad campaigns will need to recruit up to 48,000 applicants into our hiring pipelines.

  • Build out a comprehensive recruitment plan to drive applications for 2 separate, independent expenditure programs, one focused on contractors reaching out to friends and family to vote, and the other focused on contractors canvassing their neighborhoods to talk about early voting and making a plan with inconsistent, Democratic voters.
  • Consult with the Data Department and other program staff to develop targeting criteria to meet audiences where they are at, including designing and implementing a referral program, and keeping up with time-bound and city-specific goals
  • Create, recommend, publish, manage, and track the key data/performance of digital ads, potentially including, but not limited to the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube and Spotify
  • Perform outreach and relationship management of micro-influencers for potential ad placements, including building and maintaining databases of influential and local contacts who can help to spread the word about these contractor positions.
  • Provide regular reports regarding recruitment progress to goal and recommendations for real time changes to improve outcome, including budgets, targets, and which platforms are supplying candidates who are hired
  • Conduct interviews for both types of contractor positions, Community Mobilizer and Field Representative, as needed
  • Participate in a deep-dive debrief of program after Election Day to provide recommendations for potential future iterations of the programs
  • The responsibilities listed are a general overview of the position and additional duties may be assigned
