About the role
- AI is changing sourcing faster than any technology shift in the last decade, and we want someone who is excited to be at the front of it.
- Our platforms are shipping AI capability continuously - assisted search, drafted outreach, agentic workflows - and much of it is genuinely useful while some of it is not.
- You will also work with the owner of our ATS to make sure data flows cleanly from sourcing into the hiring pipeline.
Responsibilities
- Own the sourcing tech stack end to end - configuration, administration, integrations, user and license management, and the multi-year roadmap for how it evolves
- Own Datadog's AI sourcing strategy: identify where AI can meaningfully change how our sourcers work, build the roadmap for adopting it, and lead the implementations that follow
- Design AI-assisted and agentic sourcing workflows alongside sourcers and iterate them based on what the data says is working
- Own responsible AI use in sourcing: human-in-the-loop standards, partnering with Legal and Privacy on evolving requirements including NYC AEDT bias audit obligations and the EU AI Act
- Own vendor relationships and commercial outcomes for sourcing tools, including renewals, negotiations in partnership with Procurement, seat forecasting, and holding vendors accountable to their roadmaps
- Evaluate, pilot, and select new sourcing technology, including building the business case, running structured evaluations, and leading implementation - and make the call to retire tools that are not earning their place
- Partner with sourcing leaders to continuously optimize sourcing workflows end to end - prospect identification, outreach sequencing, pipeline nurture, talent pool strategy, and handoff into Greenhouse
- Own CRM adoption as an ongoing program, not a project: set usage standards and build enablement, measure against targets
- Partner with the Greenhouse owner in Recruiting Operations on integration architecture and data model decisions, ensuring prospect and candidate data flows cleanly between sourcing and the hiring pipeline
- Commercially capable - comfortable owning vendor relationships, building a business case, forecasting license needs, and holding your own in a renewal conversation
Requirements
- Experienced in recruiting operations, HR technology, or a related field, with a track record of owning a platform rather than only executing projects within one
- Genuinely excited about AI and what it can do for recruiting, with hands-on experience evaluating or deploying AI-powered tooling - and the judgment to be skeptical where skepticism is warranted
Nice to have
- Hands-on with a recruiting CRM (Gem strongly preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter, and deeply familiar with how sourcing works day to day - ideally from having sourced yourself
