• Build and coach a high-performing technical recruiting team, review pipelines and raise the quality of sourcing, assessment and candidate management.
• Use recruiting data and market intelligence to improve hiring quality, speed and conversion, and build scalable processes and talent networks across the US, Europe and Asia.
