International Talent Acquisition Manager

Goliath is looking for a senior talent and recruitment manager who combines strong judgment with the ability to get things done. You will work directly with our General Managers and leadership teams across the US, Europe and Asia. Your job is simple to describe, but important to get right: help us hire great people, identify talent and performance issues early, and make sure they are addressed . A significant share of our recruitment is in the US. Substantial hands-on experience recruiting in the US market is therefore essential. You know how to find and attract strong candidates in the US , understand compensation and candidate expectations, and can run senior searches without automatically handing them to an agency. This is not an HR operations role. Local HR teams remain responsible for day-to-day HR execution. Nor are we looking for someone to build layers of global talent programs and processes. The value of this role comes from being close to the business: knowing the people, understanding what each market needs, challenging leaders when necessary, and following through. What you'll do Work directly with GMs and leadership team to regularly review their organisations: key talent, succession gaps, performance, and future hiring needs. Challenge leaders when their team needs strengthening or a hiring decision is not good enough. Personally lead recruitment for priority roles, from defining the brief and sourcing candidates through interviews, selection and offer. Take a particularly active role in US recruitment, where a significant share of our hiring takes place. Decide when a search should be run directly and when an external recruiter adds value, and identify and manage agencies where and when they are used. Own recruitment spend for the searches you lead or oversee and make sure we get most value from our recruitment partners. Support offer negotiations using relevant market and compensation data. Stay involved after the new hire has onboarded. Check in to gauge the new hire's progress and is meeting established milestones and support action planning if they are not. Give leadership a clear view of recruitment progress, talent gaps and people risks across our markets. Requirements You are an experienced recruiter and talent leader who is comfortable operating at senior level but still enjoys doing the work yourself. US recruitment experience is essential . You have personally recruited in the US and understand US sourcing channels, compensation, candidate expectations and hiring practices. You will probably bring 10+ years of recruitment and/or talent experience, including significant hands-on recruitment. You should also bring: A strong track record of finding and closing high-quality candidates, including senior hires. The credibility to work directly with our executive team and the confidence to challenge them when needed. The ability to quickly understand different businesses, markets and personalities. …
