External Partnerships — Maintain strong relationships with external recruiting partners; set expectations around quality, communication, responsiveness, and cost. Continuous Improvement — Identify bottlenecks and implement practical solutions that improve speed, quality, visibility, and hiring‑manager experience.

Proven experience building or scaling internal recruiting functions, including team capacity, processes, systems, and metrics.

Experience supporting high‑volume hiring while also managing specialized, leadership, and executive searches. Strong partnership experience with executives across workforce planning and recruiting strategy. Experience implementing or improving ATS platforms and recruiting technology. Technical industry experience (data centers, electrical equipment, power infrastructure, mission‑critical environments, industrial manufacturing) strongly preferred.
