Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

📋 Description

• **The Role**

• Take charge of the complete recruitment lifecycle for engineering and technical positions, encompassing intake, sourcing, screening, interviews, offers, and closing.

• Collaborate closely with engineering leadership to identify their precise needs and develop hiring strategies aligned with business priorities.

• Proactively source and engage passive candidates across various geographies rather than solely relying on job postings.

• Establish the technical hiring process from the ground up, including structured interviews, scorecards, feedback loops, and debrief formats.

• Mentor hiring managers on effective interviewing techniques and making data-driven decisions.

• Ensure data integrity in Workable by maintaining clean pipelines and accurate reporting.

• Support broader talent acquisition process enhancements as the function evolves, contributing as part of a small team.

⛳️ Requirements

• **What we’re looking for**

• A minimum of 3 years managing end-to-end technical/engineering recruitment, preferably in-house at a scale-up or high-growth organization.

• Proven experience in establishing hiring processes from scratch, rather than merely working within existing frameworks.

• Exceptional sourcing abilities, with a knack for identifying engineers who are not actively seeking new opportunities and piquing their interest.

• Capability to engage in credible discussions with engineering leaders regarding their projects and requirements.

• Familiarity with ATS platforms (experience with Workable is advantageous) and a strong emphasis on data hygiene.

• Experience in hiring across diverse geographies and time zones.

• A hands-on, egoless approach, willing to source, screen, schedule, and fulfill any necessary tasks.

• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to provide constructive feedback when necessary.

• **Nice to have**

• Experience working in a remote-first or globally distributed company.
