Job Description
A client in the Bay Area is seeking a Head of Talent Acquisition to step into a highly visible leadership role during a period of transition. This is a hands‑on, turnaround‑oriented opportunity for an experienced TA leader who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys building structure where it does not yet exist.
The TA function has been without formal leadership for several months. As a result, the incoming Head of Talent Acquisition will initially focus on evaluating the current recruiting team (5–6 recruiters), identifying what is working, what is not, and then developing a clear, phased roadmap to stabilize, optimize, and scale talent acquisition operations. This role will oversee recruiting strategy, processes, technology (Workday), and stakeholder alignment while setting the foundation for sustainable, consistent hiring practices.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.
