The posting

The Director of Recruiting Operations and Systems will lead the strategy, evolution, and execution of the technology, systems, and operating model that powers hiring across Datadog. This leader will oversee Recruiting Operations, Recruiting Technology, and AI Enablement for the recruiting team. You will be a key player leading a team that supports a recruiting function of approximately 200 recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators. We are undergoing an exciting transformation across our People and Recruiting teams, and we need a leader who can bring expertise in recruiting, systems, and data, along with a product management mindset, to help build the best experience for our candidates, recruiting teams, and interviewers. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create the work-life harmony that best fits them.

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.
