What We Are Looking For:

We are looking for a hands-on senior US Talent Acquisition professional, not a people manager. The person should be able to independently take ownership of a requirement, develop the sourcing strategy, identify and assess the right talent, manage the complete interview process, and successfully close candidates.

The ideal candidate will bring a combination of deep US hiring expertise, strong sourcing capability, business partnering skills and proven execution discipline.
