Trusted by over 2,000,000 users from 300,000 companies globally, we help people run high-stakes processes and make important decisions with less stress, higher quality, and shorter hours.

THE ROLE

Ideals has grown 2x in the past four years to a team of 500+ people across 30+ countries. The next stage is more ambitious: scaling toward unicorn status, with significant hiring volume concentrated in GTM teams across the EMEA, Americas, and APAC.

To get there, we need a Director of Talent Acquisition who operates at both levels. Strategically, you'll report directly to the CEO and shape how TA supports revenue growth – aligning hiring priorities with business targets, driving adoption of AI and automation, and holding quality of hire as a non-negotiable. Tactically, you'll lead a team across recruitment, sourcing, Employer Brand, and Operations – diagnosing bottlenecks, tightening processes, and ensuring the function executes consistently at scale.

The TA foundation here is real: a skilled, senior team, strong tooling, and a hiring culture that's genuinely embedded across the organization. Until now, the TA function has reported to our VP of Operations, who, after 7 incredible years, is moving to the next challenge. To elevate Ideals' talent acquisition to the next level, we are creating an opportunity for a strategic owner to take the lead.

This role calls for someone who can take what's working, sharpen it, and lead the function through the complexities of rapid, global growth without losing precision in the process.

- Advocate for excellent candidate experience, ensuring our diverse applicant pool encounters a fair and inclusive process

- Collaborate with the Executive team, Talent & Development, People Operations, and Legal to align hiring with our business goals

- Contribute to the company's stable growth trajectory and support its strategic expansion across multiple regions

- Own the delivery of measurable strategic impact across TA outcomes, including time to hire, quality and productivity of hire, and the successful adoption of AI tools

WHAT YOU BRING

- 7+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition Leadership, with essential 2nd-line management experience and a history of guiding companies through rapid scale

- Demonstrated track record of diagnosing process inefficiencies and implementing tech to streamline hiring

- Knowledge of ATS, sourcing, and outreach tools

- Expert-level candidate assessment and selection skills, maintaining process consistency to hit quality of hire targets

- Ability to extract actionable insights from data with tech

Why it works

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.
