About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all. Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Director, Talent Attraction (AMER) to lead the strategy and execution of how we source, engage, and attract top talent across the organization. This leader owns employer branding, sourcing strategy, and talent pipelining programs — partnering closely with talent delivery, employee brand marketing, and business leaders to build a high-quality pipeline that meets current and future hiring needs. The role also plays a key part in scaling our AMER sourcing model, including leading a high-performing AMER sourcing/recruiting organization, defining how the team operates and iterates as we understand the business's immediate and future talent needs.

Responsibilities

Develop and own end-to-end talent attraction strategy—utilizing competitive intel, market research, targeted sourcing, and activations to accelerate top-of-funnel pipeline. Lead and grow a team of Recruiting Managers, sourcers/Talent Attraction Partners, and talent brand specialists — setting goals, driving accountability, and coaching for performance. Partner with Talent Delivery leadership and cross-functional recruiting teams to forecast hiring needs and deliver against quarterly/annual hiring targets, including proactive pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill roles. Use data and market intelligence to identify talent trends, competitive benchmarking, sourcing channel effectiveness, and to forecast and manage team capacity against shifting headcount demand. Deliver and analyze reporting on pipeline health, funnel metrics, time-to-fill, and source-of-hire, driving transparency for senior leadership. Champion AI fluency across the organization—identifying opportunities to leverage AI and agents within sourcing, driving adoption and experimentation, and measuring impact on productivity, quality, and pipeline outcomes. Build a strong sense of team unity and engagement, developing recruiter capability (business acumen, partnering, and influencing skills) and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and self-learning. Continuously test and implement new sourcing techniques, tools, and approaches — including emerging technologies like AI and agents — to drive collective team success. Partner with senior recruiting leadership on global sourcing and recruiting initiatives and programs.

Requirements

8-10+ years of experience in talent acquisition, sourcing, or recruitment, including 3-5+ years in a people‑leadership role (experience leading people managers preferred). Proven track record building and scaling talent attraction/sourcing strategies in a high‑growth or enterprise environment. Strong knowledge of employer branding, talent marketing, and sourcing technology (LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS/CRM platforms, etc.), including emerging AI/agent‑based sourcing tools. Data‑driven mindset with demonstrated ability to analyze and leverage data to forecast, report to senior leaders, and drive effective recruiting strategy. Demonstrated AI fluency and curiosity, with experience applying AI to sourcing workflows, productivity, talent intelligence, or candidate engagement and the ability to lead teams through AI‑enabled transformation. Excellent stakeholder management, influencing, and communication skills; comfortable partnering with senior executives across functions. Demonstrated success building strong internal partnerships to gain support and achieve cross‑functional results. This role is open to candidates based in the listed U.S. locations as well as Toronto, Canada.
