Talent Acquisition Recruiter (Human Resource Analyst - Senior) [ https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/kingcounty/jobs/4707194 ] 10/24/2024 06:43 PM PDT

The King County Department of Public Defense (DPD) seeks a Talent Acquisition Recruiter (“TAR”) who can hit the ground running and seamlessly integrate into our HR Team. Reporting to the Human Resource Manager, this individual must be a positive, forward-thinking professional who, through an Equity and Social Justice lens, will aim to meet DPD’s talent acquisition and retention goals. As the first public defense office in the country to begin implementing new and unprecedented caseload standards based on the RAND/ABA’s landmark National Public Defense Workload Study [ https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2559-1.html ] over a 3-year period.  DPD has an urgent need to recruit and retain experienced and passionate public defenders from across the country.  DPD’s goal is to leverage being the first public defense office in the country to adopt sustainable caseload standards that should provide work-life balance for public defenders and better enable our defense teams to deliver high-quality and client-centered representation in every case. 
 
In addition to its groundbreaking caseload standards, Public Defenders at DPD enjoy pay parity with county prosecutors, top-flight benefits including a county pension, the support of a unionized workplace, robust funding for expert witnesses and national training opportunities, and hundreds of experienced and committed non-attorney professional support staff—including mitigation specialists and investigators—to attract top talent from across the country. In short, DPD is looking to build on its solid foundation. 
 
The TAR will spearhead the development and execution of a marketing and recruitment strategy to meet DPD’s aggressive attorney hiring goals. DPD leadership is prepared to provide both administrative and budgetary support for the execution of the TAR’s strategy, including, but not limited to, the following: paid travel to law schools and industry conferences/events, the presence of senior staff at targeted recruiting events, and resources to promote job openings.
 
The TAR will focus on the recruitment of public defenders and experienced trial attorneys with a passion and background in public defense. An ideal candidate will be excited about the opportunity to create and maintain a competitive, long-term candidate pool of talented attorneys. 
 
The TAR will support the Human Resource Manager, work with a high-performing HR team, and collaborate with a supportive DPD leadership team.  Additionally, the TAR will help ensure that the attorney recruitment process aligns with DPD’s mission, and King County’s commitment to equity and inclusion, and be consistent with the Department of Human Resources overarching policies.
