Today, we're looking for our Global VP of Talent Acquisition to build and lead our AI-native shift and create the dream team for our next stage of growth. This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership challenge for designing a scalable, data-driven talent acquisition function across all regions in the world (North America, Europe, and APAC), all functions and levels -from AI expert to GTM and from Mid-level to Executives. You'll partner directly with the executive team and hiring managers to ensure we attract, hire, and onboard the talent needed to hit our growth targets, while building a TA function that's efficient, candidate-centric, and built for scale.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Because it’s instrumental to the strategy, this role will report directly to the CEO.
What you would do
- Strategy & Leadership: Define and own the global talent acquisition strategy, aligning hiring plans with headcount budgets, business goals, and workforce planning across all regions.
- Team Management: Build, lead, and develop a high-performing global TA team, including regional leads, recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators; set goals, coach performance, and grow internal talent.
- Executive & Leadership Hiring: Personally in charge of hiring senior C-level roles with the CEO.
- Process & Scale: Design and continuously improve AI Agents for recruiting processes, workflows, and SLAs to ensure a consistent, efficient, and high-quality hiring experience.
- Employer Brand: Own the company's employer brand and candidate value proposition globally; partner with Marketing and Comms to strengthen our reputation as an employer of choice.
- Data & Metrics: Establish TA metrics and dashboards (time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, quality-of-hire, pipeline conversion, diversity metrics) and use data to drive decisions and report to the executive team and board.
- Systems & Tools: Own the ATS and recruiting tech stack; evaluate and implement tools (sourcing, assessment, AI-enabled recruiting tools, CRM) to improve efficiency and candidate experience.
- DEI: Champion diverse and inclusive hiring practices globally, ensuring equitable processes across all regions.
- Global & Compliance: Ensure hiring practices comply with local labor laws and regulations across all operating countries; manage relationships with external agencies, RPOs, and immigration/visa partners as needed.
- Budget Ownership: Own the TA budget, including headcount, tooling, agency spend, and employer branding investments.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers and executives on org design, market talent trends, compensation benchmarking, and hiring strategy.
