What is this role about?
We're seeking a Senior TA Specialist to lead recruitment efforts for Sales. This is a high-impact role where you'll combine data-driven recruiting, AI-powered technology, and business partnership to build exceptional sales teams that drive revenue expansion.

You'll be the strategic talent partner that business leaders trust-not just to fill roles, but to elevate hiring decisions, illuminate market trends, and build talent pipelines that give us a competitive edge.

This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.

What you will be doing:

Strategy Development & Business Partnership

• Partner deeply with business and functional leaders to understand strategy, growth plans, and critical hiring needs-then translate that into recruitment strategies that attract world-class sales talent
• Adapt and position our employer value proposition for specific business units, building diverse talent pipelines proactively
• Provide business leaders with strategic insights that sharpen hiring decisions and strengthen our talent positioning

End-to-End Recruitment Execution

• Own the complete recruitment lifecycle-from requirements gathering and EVP customization through candidate selection and offer management
• Use AI-powered sourcing, candidate matching, and screening tools to build high-quality pipelines efficiently and move at speed
• Manage interview strategy and facilitate data-driven candidate decisions with hiring managers

Candidate Experience & Engagement

• Deliver a high-touch, personalized experience that reflects our employer brand and values
• Leverage AI-powered scheduling, communication, and engagement tools to keep candidates informed and engaged
• Focus your personal time on the moments that matter most-interviews, offers, and decision points-building relationships that last

Sales Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Champion AI and emerging recruiting technologies to drive efficiency, speed, and quality across our recruitment process
• Master our ATS, candidate funnel management, and specialized recruiting tools-using them to their full capability
• Analyze recruiting data and metrics to continuously optimize strategy and outcomes

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Build trusted, strategic relationships across business units and regions
• Partner with global TA teams to ensure alignment and consistent execution
• Engage with business leaders at sales sessions and team-building events
• Act as a consultative talent advisor, not just a requisition processor

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years of talent acquisition experience, recruiting across a diverse range of roles and functions
• 3+ years of recruiting for sales and go-to-market functions, with demonstrated success building high-performing revenue teams and understanding the complexities of sales organization design
• Proven track record of recruitment success in a corporate environment
• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute strategic recruitment plans
• Expert-level knowledge of sourcing methodologies, talent mapping, and competitive intelligence
• A consultative mindset-you influence hiring decisions, advise leaders on talent strategy, and thrive in complex stakeholder environments
• Advanced proficiency with ATS and CRM platforms
• Strong experience with sourcing tools and modern search technologies
• Hands-on experience with AI-enabled recruiting tools
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel)

Nice-to-Have

• Experience or subject expertise in the talent ecosystem (onboarding, performance management, employee development)
• Demonstrated expertise with recruiting analytics and data-driven decision making
