Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 10 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Files H-1B transfers
9 transfer filings in the last year, covering 9 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
- Set the direction and shape the science behind who gets hired.
- At Gallup, our pre-hire assessment science is backed by decades of research, millions of data points and a body of work that has influenced how organizations select talent around the world.
- This is a player-coach role in the truest sense: senior enough to set where the portfolio goes, yet close enough to the methods that the work still carries your fingerprints.
Responsibilities
- Lead the construction and validation of assessments from the ground up across cognitive, behavioral, situational and work-sample formats: item writing at scale
- Partner directly with clients, scoping needs, shaping solutions, presenting psychometric findings and defending the science with equal fluency to legal teams, executives and non-technical stakeholders.
- Build structured interview systems at speed, developing behaviorally anchored, job-relevant guides that balance scientific rigor against commercial timelines - two demands that rarely agree - so clients have tools they can actually use.
- Develop your people through real reps on real problems. Set the scientific standard
- Lead the construction and validation of assessments from the ground up across cognitive, behavioral, situational and work-sample formats: item writing at scale; scale development; IRT calibration; and the criterion, content and construct validation that hold up to EEOC and Uniform Guidelines scrutiny.
- Develop your people through real reps on real problems.
- A researcher's instinct for discovery: You treat a dataset as territory to explore rather than merely validate, alongside fluency in AI as both tool and context, building with it and thinking ahead about what it means for the integrity and fairness of hiring decisions.
Requirements
- At least 10 years of experience building assessments for clients, on commercial timelines, that businesses paid for and used, with at least five years in an applied, non-academic setting
- The temperament of a player-coach: You are senior enough to set the standard, secure enough to stay in the craft, and willing to tell a room of executives something it would rather not hear.
- you have experience writing items at scale with quality and bias review, scale development you have actually shipped, and IRT modeling
Company info
- We are looking for a director to lead the next chapter of that science in close partnership with the researchers, technologists and client teams who carry it to market.
- The work of our Hiring Analytics practice spans the full range, from building proprietary instruments to curating and validating the best of what already exists.
- Leading this practice requires exceptional judgment to choose the right solution and strategic vision to modernize and advance assessment science in a rapidly evolving industry.
