- Demonstrated ability to influence executives, guide hiring managers, and close high-caliber talent in competitive markets.
- History of embedding inclusive hiring practices that improve representation and reduce bias across the funnel.
KNOWLEDGE
- In-depth understanding of recruitment strategy, legal compliance, and equitable process design across global markets.
- Ability to connect recruiting outcomes to business impact—workforce planning, organizational health, and performance metrics.
- Skilled in evaluating and optimizing recruiting tech stacks to reduce manual work and improve quality-of-hire.
- Data-literate and fluent in funnel metrics; uses dashboards to drive clarity, decision-making, and accountability.
- Technologically curious—able to test and implement AI tools that automate sourcing, scheduling, or candidate engagement.
- Confident in facilitating training sessions, hiring manager enablement, and company-wide communications around talent strategy.
DESIRED BEHAVIORS
- Future-focused—you stay ahead of where recruiting is going and love experimenting with tools that give you leverage.
- Obsessed with productivity—you automate ruthlessly, prioritize intelligently, and protect your time for high-impact work.
Operate with ownership, transparency, and urgency. You move quickly but never cut corners. - Build trust fast—with candidates, hiring managers, and execs—through candor, clarity, and care.
- Invest in team growth—sharing tools, building playbooks, and upleveling hiring partners across the org.
- Balance confidence with humility—you ask smart questions, take feedback well, and stay coachable even as a subject matter expert.
Embody our company values and create a candidate experience that reflects our culture from first touch to final close.
