[Hiring] Talent Acquisition Partner @DaVita Kidney Care

Role Description

At DaVita, we’re building a best-in-class executive recruiting team to support our bold vision and future growth. We’re hiring a remote strategic, consultative Executive Talent Acquisition Partner (ETAP) who will play a critical role in shaping the leadership of our Village—partnering deeply with senior stakeholders, bringing market intelligence and rigor to our searches, and helping elevate the capabilities of our executive TA function.

As an ETAP, you’ll drive executive searches from Director to C-suite across DaVita. But more than filling roles, you will act as a trusted talent advisor—consulting business leaders on organizational needs, identifying exceptional talent, and championing hiring strategies that support our culture and growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Talent Partnership: Serve as a thought partner to senior leaders (VP+) to translate business strategy into talent strategy. Consult on team design, role clarity, and talent implications—not just requisition management.
• Executive Search Leadership: Own the full lifecycle of executive recruiting—from search strategy, talent mapping, and proactive pipelining to candidate engagement, assessment, and complex offer negotiation.
• Candidate Engagement & Experience: Build authentic relationships with high-impact leaders. Act as an ambassador for DaVita’s mission and culture while ensuring a seamless, white-glove candidate experience.
• Inclusive & Insight-Driven Hiring: Use data, storytelling, and external benchmarks to challenge assumptions, drive equitable processes, and ensure top-tier, diverse talent is surfaced and hired.
• Collaboration Across the Village: Partner cross-functionally with People Services, Compensation, and Legal to design offers, mitigate risk, and deliver aligned hiring outcomes.
• Team Contribution & Mentorship: Elevate the performance of the broader executive TA team by sharing insights, mentoring teammates, and modeling excellence in candidate assessment, stakeholder management, and process rigor.

Qualifications

• 5+ years leading executive searches, either in-house or at a retained search firm, with experience placing Director, VP, and C-level roles in complex organizations.
• Strong business acumen—you quickly grasp how organizations work and what kind of leadership will drive impact.
• Exceptional influencing skills—you’re credible in the room with senior leaders and can challenge perspectives with humility and data.
• Mastery of sourcing strategies and tools, including external market insights.
• A collaborative mindset and passion for team development and continuous improvement.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out.
• Support for you and your family: Family resources, EAP counseling sessions, access Headspace®, backup child and elder care, maternity/paternity leave, and more.
• Professional development programs: DaVita offers a variety of programs to help strong performers grow within their career and also offers on-demand virtual leadership and development courses through DaVita’s online training platform StarLearning.
