? Location and Legalities

This full-time Senior Talent Acquisition Lead position is based onsite in our brand-new Ultralytics office in London, UK, with a hybrid model of 3 days in-office and 2 days remote. Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the UK, as Ultralytics does not provide visa sponsorship.

• Strong analytical skills with experience using recruiting analytics to drive decision-making and measure success through metrics like time-to-hire and quality-of-hire.
• Demonstrable experience in designing and refining interview processes that are both effective and provide an excellent candidate experience.
• Ability to build and nurture a strong talent pipeline for critical roles in machine learning.
• Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills.
