You will lead the elevation of Visier’s employer brand, pioneer strategic sourcing plans for critical

skills, and transform the TA function into a deeply trusted and strategic partner to our business.

By leading a blended team of internal recruiters, RPO vendors, and agency partners, you will

deliver this mandate as a player-coach, leading others while also setting the standard by leading

high impact searches yourself.

What You Will Deliver:

coaching and enabling hiring managers to effectively identify, assess, and hire great

talent.

  • Blended Team Leadership: Optimize and manage a high-performing global TA

ecosystem comprising internal recruiters, agency partners, and RPO vendors to scale

efficiently and hit aggressive hiring targets across multiple geographic regions.

  • Executive & Critical Role Execution: Lead by example and directly impact the business

by actively sourcing, managing, and successfully closing strategic hires.

  • Guarantee Efficient Execution: Leverage a best-in-class ATS to create SOPs that make

hiring efficient for you and your customers while guaranteeing a consistent and positive

candidate experience. Leverage AI to augment and improve our operation while

maintaining human-in-the-loop decision making on all hiring decisions.

  • Measure Your Impact: By using our own people analytics platform to develop pipeline

health metrics, efficiency measures, and hiring quality metrics. We already have a wealth

of data - you will help us leverage it to make better hiring and onboarding decisions.

What You Will Bring to the Table:

  • Education & Experience: 10+ years of progressive Talent Acquisition experience within

a fast-paced high-tech environment, including 3+ years in a leadership role managing a

mix of internal teams, RPO vendors, and agency partners.

  • Expert Sourcing Expertise: Deep, practical understanding of executing strategic talent

strategies, specifically identifying key skills profiles and developing sourcing plans which

create active and ongoing talent pipelines.

  • Employer Branding Vision: A proven track record of designing, owning, and executing

employer brand strategies that resonate deeply with top-tier technical and go-to-market

talent.

  • Strategic Advising & Influence: Exceptional ability to partner with senior leaders,

challenging their thinking and influencing decision-making to drive better hiring outcomes.

  • Pipeline & Nurture Mastery: Demonstrated success in architecting sustained nurture

lists and proactive pipelines for executive searches and highly specialized critical skills.

  • Execution Excellence: A demonstrated "roll-up-your-sleeves" mentality with the ability to

balance high-level strategic leadership while actively leading your own requisitions.
