ABOUT US

HirexHire (pronounced hire by hire) is a Chicago-based recruiting and talent consultancy that integrates with companies short-term to provide long-term talent solutions. We take a seat in our client’s everyday operations to understand their people goals, gaps, and challenges. We then develop and implement the processes and technologies to execute a sustainable and scalable talent plan.
We partner with companies expecting or experiencing high growth who need to hire at scale or fill a critical role rapidly. Our clients are not looking for quick-fix placements but are thoughtfully building a hiring strategy to scale their businesses.

In this role, you’ll be the primary point of contact for clients, ensuring successful project delivery on time, within scope, and on budget. You’ll collaborate closely with both internal teams and client stakeholders to manage resources, mitigate risks, and ensure alignment with project goals. This is a hybrid role based in downtown Chicago, and requires strong project management experience in a consulting environment, ideally with expertise in digital transformation or Salesforce implementations.
