  • Modernize how TA operates by bringing new technology, AI, and data to bear on how the organization finds, engages, and closes exceptional people.
  • Build a metrics-driven function where dashboards, capacity models, and pipeline analytics drive decisions, forecast hiring needs, and continuously improve outcomes.
  • Operate as a strategic partner to the People Team and the business, ensuring TA is fully integrated into the broader people strategy.

  • Proven Leadership: in Talent Acquisition, including significant experience transforming and scaling teams in technology or scientific sectors.
  • Data-Driven Mindset: You excel at using metrics, capacity models, and pipeline analytics to diagnose bottlenecks and forecast hiring needs.
  • Builder DNA: You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, ready to take calculated risks, and are energized by change management.
  • Executive Presence: You can partner effectively with senior leaders, acting as a trusted advisor and thought partner.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
