[Hiring] Director of Talent Acquisition @Job Board

Role Description

As Corelight enters its next phase of growth, we are seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition to structure and lead our hiring engine. This leader is not a tactical recruitment manager; you are a consultant to the business. Your mission is to evolve Corelight’s Talent Acquisition function from a rapid fulfillment service into a high-performance, AI-driven consultancy that prioritizes quality of hire, business impact, and operational rigor.

You will report to the Chief People Officer, partnering with HR Business Partners and HR Operations to execute a transformation plan that readies us for the public market. You will lead with a unique blend of empathy and rigor, maintaining a high performance bar while fostering an inclusive environment where a distributed team can thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• AI & Operational Excellence
  • AI Integration & Innovation: Serve as the internal pioneer for AI in recruiting. You will design and implement AI-enhanced workflows to automate administrative bottlenecks, increase recruiter capacity, and improve our assessment capabilities.
  • Systems Mastery: Audit and maximize Greenhouse functionality to extract 100% value from the platform. Ensure every stage of our process is optimized for speed, candidate experience, and data integrity.
  • Metrics-Driven Governance: Build a "v 2.0" recruiting engine that utilizes deep analytics (Quality of Hire, Cost-per-Hire, Diversity Attainment) to drive executive decision-making.
• Recruiting Fundamentals & Execution
  • Full-Cycle Excellence: Maintain an active caseload of high-priority roles, modeling elite sourcing, storytelling, and closing skills to set the performance bar for the entire recruiting function.
  • Interview Rigor: Design and deploy standardized, behavioral-based rubrics and structured interviewing techniques to eliminate bias and heighten assessment rigor.
  • Consultative Partnership: Further develop the active partnership between HR Business Partner, Recruiter, and Hiring Manager to ensure optimal technical/cultural matches.
• Strategic Vision & Employer Brand
  • Visionary Leadership: Create and articulate a clear, inspiring vision for a high performing Talent Acquisition team at Corelight.
  • Vendor Strategy: Professionalize global hiring by turning transactional vendor relationships into strategic, compliant partnerships.
  • Brand Advocacy: Champion Corelight’s Employer Value Proposition, bringing our unique culture with its open-source roots to highly competitive technical audiences.

Qualifications

• 12+ years in recruitment, including 5+ years in senior leadership (Director level).
• You have successfully navigated both large, established corporate environments and smaller, high-growth tech "scale-ups."
• Deep, hands-on mastery of Greenhouse and the modern AI talent-tech landscape.
• Proven experience managing and inspiring distributed teams.
• Deep experience in high-growth technology environments is required.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA preferred.
• Familiarity with high-governance recruiting environments is a plus.
