Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. 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've built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you're empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional).
  • We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do.
  • This role reports to the Senior Director, HR.

Responsibilities

  • Shape NerdWallet's Talent Acquisition strategy alongside business leaders, assess and flex the operating model to match hiring demand, and own build-vs-buy decisions across in-house recruiting, contractors, RPO, and retained search.
  • Lead capacity planning, funnel design, SLA targets, and process governance
  • own recruiting workflows, dashboards, and ATS requirements
  • drive adoption of new tools and standards across the team.
  • build dashboards and a reporting cadence that keep the business aligned.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary team of recruiters, sourcers, coordinators, and Talent Operations partners
  • Build structured interviewing and evaluation frameworks that reduce bias and improve decision quality
  • create playbooks and enablement that raise the bar for hiring managers and interviewers.
  • Partner closely with HRBPs, Finance, Compensation, Legal, and business leaders on workforce planning, prioritization, and hiring decisions.
  • Own the recruiting technology roadmap (Ashby, sourcing, reporting, and scheduling tools) and identify where AI can be a genuine force multiplier in recruiting and Talent Operations.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of recruiting operations: ATS design, workflows, coordination models, dashboards, data integrity, and reporting, with experience establishing and enforcing SLA-based metrics.
  • Hands-on proficiency with Ashby or a comparable modern ATS, used to drive process and decision-making, not just track candidates.

Compensation

  • Monthly Wellness Stipend, Cell Phone Stipend, and Wifi Stipend (Only remote Nerds are eligible for the Wifi Stipend)
