Sxaler operates on behalf of category-defining technology companies, combining exceptional recruiters with an ecosystem and technology to identify, assess and hire top-percentile talent.
We are now hiring a Head of Talent to partner with our Founders to hire the best recruiters on earth, shaping the teams that deliver in mission-critical environments, and upholding standards and expectations across the company.
There is no greater responsibility in our business than owning the quality of people we hire, and continuously raising the bar for standards and expectations.
You will
Spot and win exceptional talent. You proactively identify talent with the right pedigree and see them through to the finish line.
Set the bar for who joins. Build a clear, rigorous approach to assessing recruiters. Develop assessments to measure judgement, craft, commercial impact and ability to deliver in demanding environments.
Build relationships ahead of demand. Develop a network of outstanding recruiters across specialisms and seniority levels. Stay close to people long before they’re looking, build referrals and know who to call when a new mission lands.
Build hiring operations as you go. Create the processes, talent intelligence and reporting that help us make better decisions. Understand patterns behind our strongest performers, where we lose good people and what needs to improve.
Beyond hiring, you’ll help us
Build the community. Create events and gatherings around the future of hiring that our recruiters, the wider talent world and our clients talk about long after.
Make content. Share how we work, what we’re learning and what we’re building, so the right people find us before they find them.
Operate at the frontier of AI. The AGI-era will evolve the role of a recruiter, and we must adapt and align to the qualities that matter most, and the techniques that keep us ahead.
Deliver selected searches for our clients. We often help our clients with talent searches due to our reach and network in the market.
We’re open on background - we care about your ability to build an exceptional team of recruiters, be it as a previous Head of Talent, a formidable Rec2Rec, a Recruiting Operations Leader or something else.
If you believe you know what it takes to build world-class recruiting teams and care deeply about our craft, we want to hear from you.
You most likely relate to the following:
Have a track record of hiring, managing or placing exceptional recruiters, and can explain what makes them successful.
Are hands-on and love the work of recruiting, from finding someone brilliant to closing a difficult hire.
Build rapport quickly, ask good questions and leave people wanting another conversation.
Are curious about AI and actively experiment with how it can improve our work.
Enjoy bringing people together and sharing ideas, whether through conversations, events or content.
Bring ambition, high standards and the initiative to turn an idea into something real.
