Role overview

Empowrd AI is seeking a fractional Talent Acquisition Partner to replace founder-led, reactive hiring with a strategic talent system.

The role is intended as capability-building with a leave-behind, not an ongoing dependency, and the scope may expand into broader HR work.

Company context

Empowrd AI is an early-stage AI consultancy operating as a deliberately lean, fast-moving business.

Its stated mission is to free people from manual work so they can focus on judgment work, with values including speed, efficiency, empowerment, collaboration, and learning.

The company prioritizes entrepreneurial intelligence, AI-enabled thinking, speed, ownership, attention to detail, data discipline, and frequent communication.

Attraction scope

Create an Employer Value Proposition that attracts suitable candidates and discourages unsuitable candidates.
Build a sourcing strategy and always-on pipeline aligned with the careers page.
Develop the channel mix, referral engine, and candidate messaging approach.

Selection scope

Create a hiring scorecard for each role using the target talent profile and evidence-based analytics.
Design structured, efficient screening that tests judgment and integrity.
Produce interview kits and a fast, consistent candidate experience.

Retention scope

Design onboarding through the first 90 days using the company’s new onboarding approach.
Create a retention framework covering reviews, incentives, progression, and sustainable intensity.
Develop early-attrition safeguards and a model for sustainable intensity.

Deliverables

Talent strategy covering attraction, selection, and retention.
EVP and messaging kit.
Sourcing and pipeline plan.
Role scorecards and structured interview kits.
Retention and progression framework.
Simple metrics dashboard and systems left with the company to operate.

Engagement model

The engagement is an independent contractor arrangement on a retained basis, up to $1,500 per month.
The initial term is three months and is likely to extend for the right person.
The scope may grow into a broader generalist HR remit depending on the individual and business needs.

Working cadence

The working cadence is fast, using Slack or WhatsApp, daily communication where needed, current Asana records, and Google Drive.
The start date is negotiable, with a preference to begin sooner rather than later.

Success measures

Success includes a strong talent pipeline, quality of hire measured at 90 days, time-to-hire, offer-acceptance rate, retention at six and twelve months, and qualified candidates per priority role.

The desired outcome is a repeatable talent system owned and operated by Empowrd AI.

Requirements

Ability to build an attraction, selection, and retention system that the company can operate independently.
Ability to execute independently with end-to-end ownership of agreed talent outcomes.
Ability to use analytics and evidence in hiring scorecards and talent decisions.
Ability to design structured screening that assesses judgment and integrity, not only skills.
Ability to work at a fast cadence using clear, proactive communication and maintained work systems.
Experience or capability supporting priority hiring in business development and sales is relevant to the immediate scope.
