from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card follow-through: 81%
Of 58 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 11 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 511 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
90 transfer filings in the last year, covering 414 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- We hire roughly 3000-5000 people a year across four continents - manufacturing technicians, early-career engineers, corporate professionals, and executives.
- We're looking for the leader who turns our hiring data into those decisions and turns those decisions into programs that ship.
- Global Talent Acquisition and Mobility Insights & Programs serves as the strategic arm of our global Talent Acquisition organization.
Responsibilities
- Own the quarterly business overviews (QBOs) and business reviews (QBRs) that Talent Acquisition presents to the CEO and executive team - and that may reach the board. Decide what matters, cut what doesn't, and make the story land at that altitude.
- Lead the strategic initiatives portfolio
- Drive cross-regional programs across the US, APAC and EMEA, from RPO scale-up to new talent pathways for critical and future skills.
- Build and lead the team
- Lead three direct reports: a Talent Insights & Workforce Planning Lead, a Program Manager and a Talent Brand Manager.
- Set clear priorities and standards, coach for growth, and build a team known for rigor and follow-through.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, HR, Analytics, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Economics or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Experience with RPO models, vendor economics or shared services design
- Experience with AI and automation
Skills
- At our core, Western Digital is a company of problem solvers.
- People achieve extraordinary things given the right technology.
- Today's exceptional challenges require your unique skills.
- Behind every one of those hires is a decision:
Compensation
- The salary range is what we believe to be the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting.
- We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and this range is only applicable for jobs to be performed in California, Colorado, New York or remote jobs that can be performed in California, Colorado and New York.
- If your position is non-exempt, you are eligible for overtime pay pursuant to company policy and applicable laws. You may also be eligible for shift differential pay, depending on the shift to which you are assigned.
- You will be eligible to be considered for bonuses under either WD's Short Term Incentive Plan ("STI Plan") or the Sales Incentive Plan ("SIP") which provides incentive awards based on Company and individual performance, depending on your role and your performance.
- You may be eligible to participate in our annual Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program, which consists of restricted stock units (RSUs) or cash equivalents, pursuant to the terms of the LTI plan.
- Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable.
Benefits
- Build our workforce and talent intelligence capability: hiring demand, pipeline health, time-to-fill, cost, quality and labor-market signals across Direct Labor, Early Career, Indirect Labor and Executive hiring.
- Run a multi-program portfolio end to end - intake, prioritization, business cases, roadmaps, governance and benefits tracking.
- Please note that not all roles are eligible to participate in the LTI program, and not all roles are eligible for equity under the LTI plan.
- RSU awards are also available to eligible new hires, subject to WD's Standard Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
Company info
- Rather than recruiting directly, we design and implement programs, processes, and hiring practices that help recruiting teams and hiring leaders attract, engage, and hire exceptional talent.
- The function has two teams.
- Strategic Offerings - the team you'll lead - owns insight, workforce intelligence, strategic programs and talent brands.
- Talent Success partners with our recruiting teams and hiring managers, customer-success style, to make sure what we build is adopted and delivers.
- Our FY27 agenda is organized around five capabilities:
- Workforce & Talent Intelligence; Critical & Future Skills Pipeline; Scalable Delivery & RPO; Recruiting Motions & Talent Pathways; and Client & Hiring Manager Enablement.
- You'll own the first outright and shape the rest.
