This role goes beyond traditional recruiting: you’ll balance creative and corporate hiring needs while building pipelines that fuel the future of mobile-first storytelling.
It’s a high-impact position in a fast-paced, startup-style environment — ideal for someone with strong recruiting experience, industry relationships, and the ability to scale hiring in a rapidly growing entertainment company.

Key Responsibilities
Source and recruit contract screenwriters, development/creative executives, producers, post-production talent, and corporate hires.
Manage the full-cycle recruitment process — from sourcing and scheduling to offers, approvals, and onboarding — ensuring clear communication with hiring managers and HQ, and collaborating on optimizing onboarding flows (presentations, materials).
Act as a brand ambassador in the entertainment and business community, communicating DramaBox’s mission and opportunities.
Build and maintain relationships with writers, literary managers, and agencies to source top creative talent.
Cultivate relationships with universities (UCLA, USC, AFI, etc.) and coordinate campus outreach to strengthen early-career pipelines.
Assist in coordinating partnerships with fellowships, labs, and competitions that surface new creative voices.
Participate in industry events, festivals, and branded workshops to identify talent and expand DramaBox’s network.
Support efforts to introduce U.S. HR systems (including ATS platforms) to enhance recruiting and onboarding workflows.
Qualifications
3+ years of recruitment experience, ideally in entertainment or creative industries, talent agency, production/studio environments, or high-growth startups.
Proven ability to source, assess, and close candidates across creative, executive, production, and corporate functions.
Strong knowledge of the Los Angeles entertainment landscape and familiarity with corporate recruiting practices.
Excellent relationship-building, communication, and negotiation skills.
Comfortable balancing creative talent pipelines with business hiring needs in a startup environment.
Familiarity with industry talent-development programs (e.g., fellowships, labs, competitions) is a plus.
Experience supporting additional HR functions (employee relations, compensation/benefits, or compliance) in a small-company or startup environment is highly valued.
Ability to exercise discretion and sensitivity when working in areas impacted by unions, guilds, labor practices, and compliance requirements.
Mandarin language skills are a plus!
