OVERVIEW

Better Together works to end the root causes of poverty, dependency, divorce, and child abuse by leveraging the power of the local church to provide struggling families with supportive relationships and meaningful work. Once properly supported, families can achieve independence, stay together, and thrive.

The Better Together team is seeking a Talent Acquisition Specialist to support our mission by helping recruit and hire exceptional, mission-aligned team members across the state of Florida. This role will play a key part in strengthening Better Together’s impact by building strong candidate pipelines, supporting hiring managers through a consistent and efficient hiring process, and ensuring a positive experience for every applicant from first contact through onboarding.

The Talent Acquisition Specialist will support full-cycle recruiting efforts for a variety of roles and will help improve internal systems and processes that make hiring more effective, efficient, and scalable. The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, relational, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where excellence and responsiveness matter.

An ideal candidate will have, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience. They should feel called to serve children and families in crisis and share our passion for providing meaningful pathways toward stability and independence. We are seeking someone with strong verbal and written communication skills, attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with professionalism and care. A successful candidate will be a self-starter who is comfortable working remotely, demonstrates the ability to solve problems and improve processes, and builds trust quickly with both candidates and internal stakeholders. Due to the nature of our work, candidates must be able to pass a Level 2 background screening.

3. We Are Ideal Team Players: We are hungry, humble, and people-smart. We take initiative, lift others up, and work wisely with all kinds of people. The best teams aren’t made of perfect people—they’re made of teachable ones.
   1. Do you take ownership and go the extra mile without being asked?
   2. Are you open to feedback and constantly looking for ways to grow?
4. We Do Hard Things: We don’t quit when things get hard. We press in with courage, keep a growth mindset, and do whatever it takes to get the job done. We don’t waste time on drama—we stay focused on the mission.
   1. Do you rise to challenges with resilience and a clear head?
   2. Do you consistently push through discomfort to deliver results?
5. We’re All In: We carry the mission in our hearts and act like owners. We take full responsibility, build capacity in ourselves and others, and do the work that matters most.
   1. Are you passionate about transforming lives and communities through your work?
   2. Do you take initiative and show up fully—because you believe this mission is worth it?

We don’t hire just for talent. We hire for alignment, character, and commitment to the mission. Expect honest conversations about these values throughout the hiring process.
