We are not your typical social media agency. 🔥 We are The Social Element. Our number one focus is to help brands build genuine human connections with their consumers. We partner with our clients to find business solutions through human interactions driven by data and insights. We use insights to form strategy, then execute across all areas of social, including community management, listening, content, reporting, and crisis management.

The Opportunity 🏆

Our Talent team is growing and we are looking to bring in a new Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our people team, and work with us to manage the global day-to-day recruitment for a wide range of junior to mid-level roles, and contractors (multilingual community managers and social media moderators).

This is a hands-on environment where you will be working with the rest of the Talent Team to manage several vacancies at once.
