CHAI is a global health organization dedicated to saving lives and improving health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. With 1,800+ staff across 40+ countries, we work in partnership with governments and the private sector to strengthen and sustain high-quality health systems. CHAI is investing in our Talent Acquisition capabilities to support organizational growth, moving toward a more strategic, proactive approach that positions us to attract top talent. We need an experienced TA consultant to assess our current systems and design a differentiated operating model that reflects the diverse hiring realities across our organization-varied skillsets, markets, geographies, and team needs.This role will work closely with the Acting Head of People and two TA Managers (overseeing recruitment, partnerships, and operations) to co-create the strategy. You will do the heavy lifting-research, analysis, developing options, creating presentations-while ensuring our internal team is engaged throughout and builds ownership of the final recommendations. As CHAI continues to grow, our current TA approach needs to evolve. We must build capabilities to sustain growth, compete for top talent across diverse roles and geographies, and become more strategic and proactive in how we attract and assess candidates. We need to: Design an operating model that accommodates different hiring contexts (technical vs. programmatic roles, competitive vs. niche markets, local vs. international recruitment) Reimagine our internal candidate process to surface real challenges and drive transparency Shift from reactive recruitment to proactive pipeline building Modernize our assessment approaches, including our outdated standard test assignment Build stronger partnerships with hiring managers and HR business partners
