Director of Talent Acquisitions (Canada)

Location: Remote (Canada)Department: Business DevelopmentType: Independent Contractor

We’re scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals — from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders — who can help us realize this next chapter of growth.

Our team of creators, builders, and investors specializes in marketing, technology, artificial intelligence, and business—so people with big ideas can expand their agency and live lives they find meaningful.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values.

At Human Agency, we believe AI should amplify human potential—not replace it. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.

As our Director of Talent Acquisitions, you will own the full-cycle recruiting process for all types of roles — technical, creative, operational, and executive. You’ll partner directly with the leadership team to identify, attract, and close top-tier talent across diverse categories, such as:

• Venture CEOs and Founder-level Leaders
• Business Solutions Consulting Associate and Full 
• Chiefs of Staff
• AI Engineers and Technical Specialists
• Podcast and Video Producers
• Senior Consultants
• Other high-impact creative, operational, and entrepreneurial hires

This is a unique opportunity to join at an early stage and build recruiting systems and processes from the ground up.

This is an international independent contractor role, open to candidates based in Canada to better align with U.S. time zones and operational needs. You will be engaged as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Human Agency. You are responsible for managing your own taxes, benefits, and compliance with local regulations. This engagement does not create an employer–employee relationship under applicable law.
