Team Introduction:
We’re seeking a flexible and dynamic Talent Acquisition Partner to join our growing team, supporting both Engineering and Operations hiring at TikTok. This is a highly collaborative and impactful role where you'll partner with hiring managers across a variety of functions—including Operations Support, Software Engineering, UX, and Data Science—and be empowered to pivot based on business priorities. If you have an adaptable mindset, are comfortable recruiting across technical and non-technical roles, and thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Specifically, you will:
- Full Lifecycle Recruitment: Drive the full-cycle recruitment process—from intake to offer—ensuring an exceptional candidate and stakeholder experience across Engineering and Operations teams.
- Flexible Business Support: Adapt to support shifting business needs across a range of functions, including technical (e.g., Engineering, Data Science) and non-technical (e.g., Operations, UX) roles.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Build strong relationships with hiring managers and HR partners, offering consultative support, market insights, and proactive talent strategies.
- Agency-Quality Sourcing: Execute innovative, high-impact sourcing strategies using LinkedIn, niche platforms, internal tools, and referrals.
- Data-Driven Decision-Making: Use dashboards and metrics to evaluate pipeline health, recruiting performance, and inform hiring decisions.
- Process Optimization: Recommend and drive improvements to recruitment workflows, selection processes, and candidate evaluation strategies.
- Return-to-Office: To enhance collaboration and cross-functional partnerships, among other things, at this time, our organization follows a hybrid work schedule that requires employees to work in the office 3 days a week, or as directed by their manager/department. We regularly review our hybrid work model, and the specific requirements may change at any time.

- Track record of managing 15+ requisitions concurrently while maintaining high-quality standards.
- Experience leading recruiting process optimizations, including policy and system improvements.
- Ability to use data, metrics, and market insights to advise hiring managers on talent gaps and drive strategic workforce planning.

Preferred Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience at a tech-focused staffing agency or fast-paced recruiting environment.
- Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, regional/global environments, adapting to shifting priorities.
- Proficiency in using data tools (Excel, Power BI, ATS reports) to drive recruiting conversations and strategy.
