At Mindgruve, every hire has the potential to sharpen our thinking, elevate our work, strengthen our teams, and create better outcomes for our clients.

- Work closely with hiring managers and department leads to define talent needs, develop compelling job descriptions, design effective interview processes, and provide market insights throughout the search.
- Partner with Resourcing, Finance and HR to forecast hiring demand, prioritize searches, identify talent gaps, manage recruiter capacity, and build pipelines ahead of need.
- Raise the hiring bar daily by being the champion of the Mindgruve Hiring Standards. Look beyond résumés to assess capability, character, curiosity, trajectory, adaptability, ownership, and business impact. Identify people who see opportunities, solve problems, improve systems, create momentum, and make the people around them better.
- Ensure every candidate interaction, from first outreach through offer acceptance, is thoughtful, responsive, authentic, and reflective of the Mindgruve brand to create an exceptional candidate experience.
- Actively maintain, update and audit our ATS, Greenhouse.
- Oversee recruiting analytics & performance, including owning recruiting dashboards and key performance metrics across pipeline health, conversion rates, source effectiveness, time-to-fill, offer acceptance, recruiter capacity, and quality of hire - turning data into actionable insights for HR and business leaders.
- Provide regular updates and training to the HR team on best practices in recruiting and current trends to stay competitive, while retaining and attracting the right talent.
- Challenge legacy processes, experiment with new approaches, and continuously improve how Mindgruve finds, evaluates, and hires talent globally.
- Perform other related duties and projects as assigned.
We Need a Person With:
- 7+ years of progressive Talent Acquisition experience, including significant full-cycle recruiting, ideally in a marketing, advertising or technology-driven industry.
- 2+ years leading, managing, or mentoring recruiters or TA team.
- Advanced knowledge of Greenhouse or comparable ATS experience required.
- Proven success recruiting across multiple functions, geographies and levels, including senior and specialized talent.
- Hands-on knowledge of AI, automation, and emerging recruiting technology, with demonstrated curiosity around how these tools can transform Talent Acquisition.
- Strong sourcing and pipeline-building expertise and the ability to proactively identify and engage passive talent.
- Strong hiring-manager partnership and the confidence to advise, influence, and appropriately challenge leaders.
- A builder mindset—you enjoy experimenting, improving workflows, and turning new ideas into practical solutions.
- Strong candidate-assessment skills and the ability to recognize potential and trajectory beyond traditional qualifications.
- Strong communication, analytical, organizational, and relationship-building skills.
- Highly organized and detail oriented, with the ability to handle multiple simultaneously.
- Professional demeanor with the ability to interface with poise and confidence with leadership and clients.

Compensation:
- Compensation: $95,000 - $115,000 (Pay range is based on a market reference point and potential job offers may vary based on the skills, education, experience and geographic location of the individual candidate. The compensation range reflects base rate only.)

Talent Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a talent manager in Colorado?
Colorado does not require a state-issued license to work as a talent manager, so the path begins with a bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or communications followed by hands-on experience in recruiting, artist representation, or HR operations. Many Colorado employers expect familiarity with the Society for Human Resource Management certification, and those in entertainment management often build credentials through direct agency or label experience before moving into independent or corporate roles.
How much do talent managers make in Colorado?
Talent managers in Colorado earn a median of about $95,530 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,790 for the lowest 10% to over $196,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire talent managers in Colorado?
Colorado talent manager roles are posted by Robert Half, DaVita, and EchoStar and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of large corporate headquarters, entertainment venues, and professional sports franchises creates openings across industries that go well beyond traditional HR departments.
Which Colorado cities have the most talent manager jobs?
Denver, Englewood, and Lakewood account for the largest share of talent manager openings in Colorado. Denver dominates because it is home to regional headquarters, major sports franchises, and a growing entertainment scene, while Colorado Springs and Boulder attract openings through defense contractors, tech firms, and university-adjacent organizations that maintain dedicated talent functions.
Are there remote talent manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than many fields, since relationship-building and contract negotiations increasingly happen through digital channels. About 67% of talent manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the role's adaptability to distributed work. Corporate talent acquisition and executive search functions tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while artist management and on-site HR leadership roles still favor in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a talent manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a coordinator or recruiting assistant role, which large Colorado employers such as Comcast, DaVita, and regional staffing agencies regularly post as junior positions that develop into talent management careers. Lateral moves from adjacent roles like HR generalist, talent acquisition specialist, or casting assistant are common. Earning a SHRM Certified Professional credential or completing an HR internship through Colorado State University or the University of Denver strengthens a candidate's profile significantly.
Where can I find and apply to talent manager jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to talent manager jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across corporate, entertainment, and sports sectors. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to the employers posting them.
