[Hiring] Talent Acquisition Partner @Fuel Cycle

Role Description

Fuel Cycle is seeking a Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle recruiting and elevate our TA function with an AI-first mindset. At Fuel Cycle, AI isn't a trend — it's how we work. Every role brings AI into how they think, build, and deliver, and we envision our TA Partner as the orchestrator of that in recruiting: designing and managing intelligent workflows that run the operation, directing AI like a thinking partner rather than just using it as a tool. If you automate what others do manually, build pipelines before they're needed, and hold yourself to metrics, this is your role.

You'll partner with hiring managers across LA, New York, and remote US and India. A meaningful portion of the roles you'll fill require candidates to commit to fully in-office, five days a week. That's the culture we're building, and you need to believe in it enough to sell it.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, or related field.
• 5+ years in talent acquisition with full-cycle ownership.
• Experience with distributed/international hiring including cross-border.

Requirements

• Own sourcing through offer for all roles, technical and non-technical.
• Source via LinkedIn, Juicebox, and AI-powered platforms; build pipelines before they're needed.
• Design structured interview processes, evaluation rubrics, and debrief facilitation.
• Recruit primarily for fully in-office positions (5 days/week) in LA and NY — set expectations early and honestly.
• Act as a strategic partner — not just a coordinator — throughout the full process.
• Coach on interviewing, bias mitigation, and candidate evaluation.
• Drive alignment on role requirements and leveling before requisitions open.
• Build and maintain AI-powered workflows and automations that reduce manual lift and improve velocity.
• Own Ashby ATS for data integrity, workflow efficiency, and reporting.
• Track key metrics: time to fill, quality of hire, offer acceptance, 90-day retention, funnel conversion.
• Manage external agency relationships, including a dedicated India search partner.
• Ensure pay transparency compliance across all jurisdictions.
• Research market comp and develop salary bands in partnership with People and Finance.
• Build compelling offers within defined ranges — lead with the full value proposition.
• Own the headcount tracker; partner with leadership on req prioritization and hiring timelines.

• Deliver exceptional candidate experience from first contact through Day 30.
• Manage the employee referral program.
