- Build and execute talent strategies that balance external hiring with internal mobility, creating sustainable pipelines that reflect commitment to diversity, inclusion, and high-performing engineering culture.
- Drive metrics-informed recruiting decisions by developing KPIs, analyzing recruiting data, and using insights to optimize sourcing, candidate experience, and time-to-hire while maintaining judgment about data limitations.
