Job description

A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

Talent Strategists work directly for one of our business or product development teams. We work to achieve the same mission using a different and complementary set of tools. We internalise the gravity, urgency, and meaning of our company’s work, inspiring us to find the exceptional individuals we know our teams need to win.

We innovate constantly to achieve these ends. We design creative and effective hiring operations in response to the demands our teams face. We embrace breaking these apart and evolving when the terrain beneath us shifts. We scan constantly for what’s working and what’s failing, leveraging data and our keen intuition.

Your ability to source uniquely excellent candidates and ascertain team fit is critical in this role. This requires embedding, not merely engaging, with a range of counterparts at the company, from the C-suite to Forward Deployed Engineering. The demands are intense, meaningful, and ever-changing. If this sounds as enticing as it does challenging, you’ll thrive here.

Core Responsibilities

• Design and own the entire hiring lifecycle, including job description crafting, referral engagement, talent sourcing, interview process design, offer and closing, and evaluation of the end-to-end process for strength and risk.
• Actively surface talent using a range of strategies, from referrals to sourcing new leads.
• Build deep relationships with your business or product team as well as the talent you guide into Palantir.

What We Value

• Clear ability to navigate competing demands, relentlessly generating new solutions in response to constraints, new information, and changing terrain.
• Critical and data-driven approach to managing candidate pipelines and overall hiring processes.
• Demonstrated drive to work within an intense and mission-driven team representing a range of skill sets and personalities.
• Strong problem-solving skills; proven history of building and rebuilding processes from the ground up.

What We Require

• 1+ years of experience identifying, recruiting, and working with exceptional talent (does not need to be traditional recruiting experience; we are open to a range of backgrounds).
• Extraordinary communication and interpersonal skills.
