About the role
- We're looking for a strategic, credible, and highly execution-oriented Head of Global Talent Acquisition to build and scale Cresta's global hiring engine.
- This leader will own talent acquisition strategy and outcomes across Technical, GTM, G&A, Executive, and Early Career hiring, while partnering closely with executive leadership and the Head of People.
- This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments and knows how to balance speed, quality, efficiency, and long-term talent outcomes, and who is comfortable setting strategy while staying close to execution when needed.
Responsibilities
- Lead and execute Cresta's global Talent Acquisition strategy in partnership with People, Finance, and business leadership to support rapid growth across regions and functions.
- Partner closely with executives and senior leaders to shape hiring strategy, priorities, capacity modeling, and workforce planning.
- Build, scale, and lead a high-performing internal Talent Acquisition team, defining the right mix of in-house recruiters and external partners to support rapid growth, burst hiring needs, and global expansion.
- Partner closely with the Head of People on broader talent, workforce planning, and people initiatives.
- Support and lead senior and executive recruiting efforts in partnership with People leadership, including hands-on involvement for critical and hard-to-fill roles as needed.
- Design, track, and continuously refine TA metrics to drive hiring efficiency, quality, predictability, and scale.
- Own and continuously improve the end-to-end candidate experience, from intake calibration and interview design through offer, closing, and post-process feedback loops.
- Set the standard for proactive, creative sourcing and passive candidate engagement, ensuring teams build durable pipelines rather than relying on reactive hiring.
- Drive employer brand and talent marketing programs across social, events, and community engagement in partnership with Marketing and People teams.
- Refine and scale Cresta's campus and early career strategy, partnering with recruiters to build internship and new graduate pipelines globally.
Requirements
