What the job involves
- Visier is searching for a hands-on Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to lead our efforts in attracting the best talent to join us
- This is a high-impact functional leadership role for an experienced TA professional ready to own and refine the engine that connects fantastic talent with our brand and culture
- You will be instrumental in evolving Visier’s identity in the market, building sustainable talent pipelines, and ensuring our TA operations lead to repeatable outcomes
- This is a chance to take full accountability for setting the strategy and delivering the results for the TA function
- You will strike a balance between owning high priority reqs and driving programs and projects in partnership with senior leadership, leveraging external contract resources to service peak hiring seasons
- You will be responsible for setting the vision and managing all operational aspects of the function, with a focus on four core strategic pillars:
- Talent Acquisition Strategy & Team Leadership:
- Establish and execute the overarching talent acquisition strategy, translating Visier’s business objectives into clear, measurable hiring goals and scalable workforce plans
- Reimagine our TA function with a variety of hiring strategies, ensuring we are properly resourced to meet the hiring demand, and contribute to building a culture of high performance in our P&C function
- Manage resource allocation, and workflow to ensure hiring goals are met efficiently and effectively, relying on TA metrics to inform your decisions in building the function
- Employer Brand Development:
- Define, champion, and amplify our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and employer brand across relevant channels. Develop and implement engaging marketing campaigns and content strategies to promote Visier as an employer of choice in key competitive talent markets
- Ensure the employer brand authentically reflects our culture of learning, high performance, and team-focused delivery
- Partner closely with the Marketing and Communications teams to ensure brand consistency and maximum market impact
- Talent Pipeline Creation and Nurture:
- Design and operationalize proactive, long-term talent pipeline strategies, focusing on critical, hard-to-find skill sets. Identify other opportunities to connect with talent beyond the usual expected channels
- Utilize advanced market intelligence and recruiting data to anticipate emerging talent needs and build sustainable talent communities for developing talent (including our fantastic campus program)
- Oversee the effective use of a Talent Relationship Management (TRM) approach to cultivate meaningful, long-term connections with passive and silver-medalist candidates
- TA Operations & Process Excellence:
- Own and optimize the end-to-end recruitment process, technology stack (ATS, tools, vendor relationships), and operational workflows to maximize efficiency and data integrity
- Establish and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) to provide leaders with transparent, data-driven insights into TA performance, quality of hire, and strategic opportunities
- Ensure all hiring practices are equitable, inclusive, and compliant with all relevant labour laws and internal policies across all operating regions
Our take
Gaining insights into workforces through people data is invaluable to businesses, allowing them to understand how to retain their hardest-working staff members, benchmark worker performance against competitors, and enable the growth of leaders within the organisation. While HR departments have access to some productivity tools that utilize people analytics, their fragmented and antiquated nature demands a more unified and future-proof solution.
Visier provides an all-in-one cloud-based people analytics platform for businesses, aiming to drive staff retention programs, maximize recruitment outcomes, arm leaders with workforce insights, and ultimately connect business outcomes to the people involved. The platform achieves this through a variety of integrative tools such as performance benchmarking, smart workforce questionnaires, data management automation, and people-powered insights.
Despite the fact that the company faces competition from other people-data solutions, Visier continues to stand out by this unified approach. The company has existing partnerships with EA, Uber, and NCI too, demonstrating success in improving leadership through people analytics, reducing labour costs, and increasing staff retention. In contrast to much of the broader tech sector, the company has grown consistently and accelerated its geographic expansion, a testament to its product's value to businesses.
