Talent Acquisition Lead
About The Position
We're seeking an exceptional Talent Acquisition Lead to own hiring strategy and execution for a key area of Fluidstack's business. Reporting into the Director of Talent Acquisition, you'll manage a team of TA members while staying deeply hands-on — building the annual delivery strategy for your domain, executing on critical hires, and setting the bar for quality on every search your team runs. This is not a purely strategic role, and it's not a purely operational one. You'll be expected to think ahead — mapping talent needs, designing the right process, and making your team faster and better — while also closing searches yourself. The best candidate brings senior recruiting instincts, genuine management ability, and the drive to execute without being told twice.
Requirements
- 5+ years in talent acquisition at fast-growing and/or large-scale tech companies, with a strong track record of exceptional sourcing and hiring.
- 2+ years in a people management role, with demonstrated ability to develop and hold accountable a team of recruiters and/or sourcers.
- Proven experience building and executing annual hiring delivery strategies for a domain or business unit.
- Strong stakeholder management — you're seen as a trusted partner by hiring managers, not just a service provider.
- Proven track record of leveraging data to report on team performance and influence hiring decisions.
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Business, Human Resources, or a related field.
Nice To Haves
- Background at high-growth tech startups, preferably in datacenter, cloud/infrastructure, hardware, or AI.
- Experience designing interview processes, scorecards, and structured evaluation frameworks.
- Strong understanding of equity compensation structures (private vs. public).
Responsibilities
- Lead and scale a talent acquisition function across multiple business units, and technical domains
- Develop and execute end-to-end recruitment strategies for engineering, product, data, or corporate functions
- Partner directly with senior hiring managers and business leaders to understand workforce planning needs, forecast headcount, and align hiring strategy with business objectives
- Build, mentor, and manage a team of Talent Acquisition Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators, providing clear strategic direction and performance accountability
- Design and optimize hiring processes that balance speed with candidate quality, ensuring a high-touch, positive candidate experience at every stage
- Drive technical recruitment for specialized and hard-to-fill roles, achieving high offer acceptance rates through compelling positioning and stakeholder alignment
- Own hiring metrics and reporting — pipeline health, time-to-fill, conversion rates, diversity targets — and use data to continuously improve outcomes
- Collaborate with People Partners on organizational design, headcount budgeting, and re-organization planning
- Manage immigration and global mobility matters in coordination with legal and compliance teams
- Establish and maintain scalable recruiting infrastructure: ATS workflows, interview frameworks, rubrics, and calibration processes
- Lead employer branding initiatives to position the company competitively in key talent markets
- Oversee onboarding coordination to ensure seamless transitions from offer acceptance to Day 1
- Partner with finance on headcount planning, budget control reviews, and compensation benchmarking
Benefits
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
- Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
