The posting

For years, Stream Data Centers has been a trusted partner in providing world-class data center solutions. With a focus on sustainable, secure, and reliable infrastructure, Stream empowers businesses to scale their digital operations while prioritizing environmental and social responsibility.

Stream Data Centers continues to set new standards for innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability in the data center industry, having provided premium data center services since 1999. Now, with 90% of its inventory leased to Fortune 100 customers, the company has acquired, developed and managed more than 27 data center projects nationally, while leadership has remained consistent for over two decades.

From site selection to data center construction and operations, Stream develops wholesale colocation capacity and build-to-suit facilities for hyperscale and enterprise users in major markets across the United States. Additionally, Stream sources and develops low-risk land sites for optimum data center development and provides energy procurement services with a focus on reducing market risk and providing low-cost renewable energy options.

Stream Data Centers is seeking a Director, Talent Acquisition to build and scale a best-in-class talent acquisition function in support of the company's continued national growth. Reporting directly to the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), this leader will design and execute an enterprise-wide talent acquisition strategy, stand up scalable recruiting infrastructure, and build and develop a high-performing talent acquisition team capable of sourcing, engaging, and closing top talent across corporate, technical, construction, and data center operations roles nationwide. This is a highly visible, strategic role for an experienced talent acquisition leader who thrives in a fast-growing, high-performance environment and is energized by the opportunity to build modern, data-driven talent acquisition capability from the ground up.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Partner with the CHRO and senior leadership to develop and execute a comprehensive talent acquisition strategy aligned with Stream's growth objectives and workforce plan.
  • Build, lead, and develop a high-performing talent acquisition team, establishing clear goals, accountability, and career development paths.
  • Own full-cycle recruiting outcomes across all levels and functions — corporate, technical, construction, and data center operations — with direct personal ownership of executive and hard-to-fill searches.
  • Own the design and execution of college partnership and early-career recruiting programs, building relationships with universities, community colleges, and technical/trade schools in each of Stream's operating markets.
  • Build and scale workforce pipeline programs — internships, apprenticeships, co-ops, and rotational programs — that create a sustainable, renewable talent pipeline for both corporate and data center operations/technical roles.
  • Develop creative, locally-tailored pipeline strategies for each market Stream operates in, recognizing that talent availability and workforce needs differ by site and region.
  • Partner with local workforce development boards, trade associations, and community organizations to build talent pipelines for critical, hard-to-source roles (e.g., electrical, mechanical, and critical facilities talent).
  • Track and report on pipeline program effectiveness — conversion to hire, retention of program hires, and program ROI — as a core input to long-term workforce planning.
  • Design and implement scalable, repeatable recruiting processes, workflows, and service-level agreements that support rapid, quality hiring as the company scales.
  • Establish and monitor talent acquisition metrics and dashboards (time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, quality-of-hire, pipeline conversion, diversity of slate) to drive continuous improvement and inform leadership decision-making.
  • Own the selection, implementation, and optimization of the applicant tracking system (ATS) and broader recruiting technology stack, including AI-enabled sourcing, candidate matching, and interview support tools — improving speed and candidate experience while proactively managing algorithmic bias and compliance risk.
  • Lead employer branding and talent marketing initiatives that position Stream as an employer of choice within the data center and technology industries.
  • Manage relationships with executive search firms, staffing agencies, and other third-party recruiting vendors, ensuring quality, value, and appropriate cost management.
  • Partner closely with HR Business Partners, Total Rewards, and hiring managers to ensure competitive, market-informed offers and a seamless candidate-to-employee transition.
  • Train hiring managers and hold them accountable for consistent, high-quality interviewing practices and timely hiring decisions.
  • Champion a best-in-class candidate experience, including structured feedback loops and response-time standards, recognizing its impact on Stream's reputation in local labor markets.
  • Stand up rapid-hiring capability to support new site launches, market expansions, and acquisitions, scaling recruiting capacity quickly without sacrificing quality.
  • Own the talent acquisition budget, including headcount planning, vendor spend, and recruiting marketing investment, and report regularly on progress to the CHRO and executive team.
  • Serve as a strategic advisor to the CHRO and business leaders on labor market trends, wage pressures, and competitor hiring activity across Stream's markets.
  • Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations across the full hiring lifecycle.
