About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic, hands-on, and results-driven Head of US Recruitment to lead and scale our US hiring operations. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume, sales-focused environment. You will own full-cycle recruitment across Sales, Operations, Leadership, and specialized positions, and build a high-performing, aggressive recruiting team capable of delivering speed, quality, and measurable impact.
This is not a theoretical role--you must have real, hands-on experience running end-to-end US recruitment, designing ATS workflows, setting KPIs, and hitting ambitious targets in a competitive market.
Key Responsibilities
1. Sales & High-Volume Recruitment

• Lead full-cycle recruitment for US-based Sales teams, Operations, Leadership, and specialized roles.

• Build high-velocity recruitment pipelines for multiple roles simultaneously, balancing quality and speed.

• Drive aggressive hiring targets, ensuring consistent time-to-fill and conversion metrics.

• Implement innovative sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill, competitive sales positions.

2. Team Leadership & Performance

• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing recruitment team capable of executing high-volume recruitment with precision.

• Set daily, weekly, and monthly KPIs, track recruiter performance, and enforce accountability.

• Conduct Performance Improvement Plans for underperformers and foster a culture of speed, ownership, and excellence.

3. Process Optimization & ATS Setup

• Design, implement, and optimize ATS workflows and dashboards for tracking productivity, pipeline health, and metrics.

• Refine recruitment processes to maximize efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and improve hiring quality.

• Establish structured SLAs, evaluation scorecards, and KPI frameworks to drive consistent outcomes.

4. Stakeholder Management

• Partner with US leadership and department heads to define role briefs, candidate profiles, and hiring timelines.

• Communicate proactively on pipeline health, challenges, and risks.

• Serve as the single point of accountability for all US recruitment outcomes.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 8+ years in US recruitment, with experience in high-volume, fast-paced sales hiring and leadership positions.

• Proven team-building and leadership skills--able to manage large teams, mentor recruiters, and instill performance culture.

• Strong experience with ATS systems setup, reporting, and automation.

• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills with US stakeholders.

• Highly aggressive, confident, and results-driven--you take ownership and push the team to achieve ambitious targets.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with tight deadlines.

Why Join Us

• Lead a strategic US recruitment function from the ground up.

• High visibility role with direct influence on organizational growth.

• Opportunity to shape the recruitment strategy, team culture, and process excellence.

• Competitive compensation aligned with senior leadership expectations.
