The ideal candidate will lead and mentor a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators, design hiring processes, and manage performance metrics.

Responsibilities

• Own hiring strategy, execution, and tracking for Fluidstack's Data Center org, building the annual delivery plan while staying hands-on closing critical searches yourself.
• Lead and scale a talent acquisition function across data center operations, construction, and infrastructure business units.
• Partner directly with senior hiring managers to forecast headcount, map talent needs, and align hiring strategy to business objectives.
• Build, mentor, and manage a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators with clear direction and performance accountability.
• Design hiring processes that balance speed with candidate quality, driving recruitment for hard-to-fill data center operations, controls, and infrastructure roles to high offer-acceptance rates, and own the hiring metrics and recruiting infrastructure (ATS workflows, interview rubrics, calibration) that keep the funnel healthy.

Requirements

You've built and run hiring for data center operations, construction, or infrastructure orgs in a hyper-growth environment, ramping headcount without dropping the bar.

• Know the difference between competent and exceptional and won't compromise on it, for your team's hires or your own.
• Every hire raises the average.
• Build for the year but can lead quick pivots.
• Anticipate hiring needs and map talent landscapes so your team never starts a critical role from zero.
• Measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
• Give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
