Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist
About this role
As a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, you will work with QAD business leaders across EMEA as a talent advisor, partnering to fill critical roles across the business. You will bring deep recruiting expertise, a consultative approach, and the ability to independently drive searches from strategy through offer — serving as a trusted resource to HR and hiring leaders throughout the region. Your primary focus will be EMEA, spanning markets across the UK and Europe with occasional support for open roles in the Americas.
What You'll Do Embed within the business lines to fully understand business goals, drivers, and needs across EMEA. Translate those insights into recruitment strategy to proactively address upcoming and ongoing hiring needs spanning the UK, Europe, and the Americas positions. Provide talent market intelligence and guidance to HR and business leaders helping navigate the nuances of multi-country hiring, compensation benchmarking, and local employment trends.
Directly recruit and source active and passive candidates across a broad range of functions and levels, including senior leadership roles. Roles span sales, account management, customer success, AI/solutions engineering, software development, cloud/SRE, channel partnerships, consulting services, marketing, HR, finance, and G&A — experience recruiting across multiple EMEA and Americas markets and this breadth of roles is a strong advantage.
Use AI tools — including Claude and Google Gemini — as a core part of your daily workflow to accelerate sourcing, automate recruiting tasks, synthesize market intelligence, and produce compelling job content and candidate communications. We expect confident, hands-on AI fluency and a mindset of continuously finding smarter, faster ways to work. Actively engage on social media as a QAD brand ambassador to build our employment brand, strengthen talent pipelines, and directly recruit.
Help hiring leaders develop their own social presence and contribute to an everyone-is-a-recruiter culture. Keep key stakeholders informed on recruitment activities, pipeline health, and key metrics. Serve as a subject matter expert and power user of our applicant tracking system (ATS), guiding and coaching HR partners and hiring leaders as needed. Actively participate as a team member within a global network of Senior Talent Acquisition Specialists, with representation from the Americas, APAC, and EMEA.
