Manage critical searches: Lead by example by actively sourcing, managing, and successfully closing key searches.
Operationalize Results and Experience: Leverage a best-in-class ATS to create SOPs that make hiring efficient for you and our hiring managers while delivering 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.

Education & Experience: 10+ years of progressive Talent Acquisition experience within a fast-paced high-tech environment, including 3+ years in a TA leadership role.
Expert Sourcing Expertise: Deep, practical understanding of strategic talent strategies, specifically identifying key skills profiles and developing sourcing plans which create active and ongoing pipelines.

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.

AI in Hiring
As a people analytics company, we think carefully about how AI is used in decisions that affect people, including our own. Our Talent Acquisition team uses AI tools to help review resumes and application responses, so every candidate's application is assessed quickly and consistently against the role's requirements. AI may also assist with scheduling and summarizing interview notes. These tools support our team; they don't replace it. Every hiring decision at Visier is made by a person, not an algorithm.
How you prepare is up to you, and there's no issue with using AI as a helpful tool along the way. What matters most to us is that what you share, whether in your application or in conversation with us, reflects your own real experience and skills. We ask that live interviews be AI-free, so we can get to know how you communicate, think through problems, and describe the work you've actually done. We reserve the right to end the interview early if candidate fraud is suspected.
If you have questions about how AI is used in our process or how your data is handled, review our Visier Candidate Privacy Notice or reach out to us.
