We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist. This is a role for someone who wants to hire end-to-end for the most complex, business-critical positions we open — Product, Marketing, Senior, Head, and C-level, and to run it autonomously, from kickoff to a signed offer. You'll join a global IT product company with millions of users across Tier-1 and emerging markets, where recruiting is treated as a strategic function rather than a pipeline to fill: your read on the market shapes the profile, your data shapes the strategy, and your judgment carries real weight in the final call. You'll work side by side with a Head of TA who listens and has your back, in a bureaucracy-free environment with real room for initiative, and with modern AI tools that take the busywork off your plate so you can focus on people and on the hiring teams who count on you as a trusted advisor.
In this role, you will
Own and moderate the entire hiring process — keep it moving from vacancy launch to the candidate's start date, sync all participants, track agreements, timelines, and next steps, flag risks early, and never let a process stall Partner with hiring managers to shape and calibrate role profiles, define must-have requirements, priorities, and realistic expectations aligned with the market Run autonomous full-cycle recruiting for complex, business-critical roles across Product, Marketing, Senior, Head, and C-level — from intake to offer and the candidate's first day Conduct deep HR interviews, assessing motivation, relevance of experience, seniority, business mindset, leadership competencies, and fit with a specific business context Build and adapt hiring strategy based on search results and market conditions — analyze the talent pool, competitive landscape, compensation, and availability of the required profile, and make a well-argued case for changes in approach Work closely with sourcers: set the search direction, calibrate the profile and talent pool, give timely feedback, and adjust the sourcing strategy as work progresses Ensure a high-quality candidate experience throughout the process: transparent communication, timely feedback, a strong presentation of the product, team, and role, and professional handling at the offer stage
