Major Roles & Responsibilities

We're looking for a energetic talent leader & a business partner who will help us reach our growth objectives. You will be responsible for leading a team of creative and passionate talent growth enthusiasts globally and help find, source and onboard suitable talent to match the company's needs.

- This role will be the Searce brand ambassador, and will evangelize Searce across the globe.
- Architect and optimize an AI-native recruiting engine using sourcing agents, predictive matching, and automated pipeline intelligence to reduce time-to-value without losing candidate warmth.
- Design frictionless, automated, yet deeply human candidate journeys where routine touchpoints are seamlessly AI-handled and human interactions remain hyper-meaningful.
- Develop, initiate and maintain effective Talent programs.
- Strengthen critical talent/ leadership pipeline by ensuring talent retention, promotion and succession planning aligned to the business strategy.
- Be a hands-on leader who loves to lead a team and run his/her own searches with a 50% player + 50% coach & people manager.
- Build,



engage & manage a team of high-performing Talent Growth hunters, empowering them to leverage modern AI tools and automated market mapping.
- Work in an extremely fast-paced and an ambiguous environment: Daily outcomes do matter. Weekly impact is measured. Monthly progress is relevant but for directional items.
- Continuously evaluate and re-engineer manual recruitment bottlenecks into scalable, intelligent workflows through the Searce EVLOS lens.
- Set team performance goals and metrics, timelines and a formal tracking process to measure and manage progress.
- Collaborate with Marketing and Branding to implement brand awareness initiatives.
- Drive a HAPPIER culture of constant improvement, identifying, and implementing projects in order to increase business-wide recruiting effectiveness and efficiency.
- Provide sound leadership that ensures successful sourcing, screening, interviewing and onboarding experiences.

Education & Experience

Is Education overrated Yes. We believe so. But unfortunately, it is one of the ways to locate the top solvers. So we might look for a Bachelor's degree in anything and prefer a Masters / graduate degree in Human Resources or Tech with tons of excellence delivered everywhere you have been. But of course that can be trumped by relevant experience in solving differently, delivering humbly and being really great at understanding people. What matters the most:

- Experience in collaborating cross-functionally within the company to anticipate and meet the evolving hiring needs.
- As a leader for Talent Growth, you will be responsible for leading the overall strategy and execution of the talent growth function.
- Comfortable conversing around Generative AI, cloud infrastructure, and modern software architectures to speak the same language as modern tech solvers.
- Proven track record of redesigning talent acquisition workflows using AI tools and automation platforms to drive measurable speed and efficiency gains.
- Build capabilities to help reduce the time to hire and improve the overall efficiency of hiring.
- Own recruitment process, optimize its cost, manage a growing team, and deliver best talent at the right time and at the right costs.
