Job Specifications

Role overview & primary responsibilities

Role supports (VP, Go-to-Market Recruiting) and his leadership team by producing reporting, analysis, and executive summaries on hiring activity across go-to-market functions. Emphasis on not just pulling data but providing insights and recommendations.
Main outputs: weekly executive-level reports (P5 leadership), summaries for hiring leaders, trend analysis (time-to-fill, open requisitions, hires by location), and insights to inform hiring decisions. High-visibility deliverables directed to senior leadership.
Expected mix of work: heavy data analysis (Tableau, Power BI, Excel pivot tables) and operational understanding of recruiting processes; some meetings with recruiting leaders and HRBPs to provide context.
Bonus skill: strong executive presentation and PowerPoint design ability for C-suite audiences

Data sources, tools & reporting mechanics

Primary ATS: SmartRecruiters; reporting also pulled from Tableau and Power BI (multiple platforms feed a consolidated Excel template). Candidate pipeline and status information often needs aggregation from 3–4 sources into one template.
Reports: some automated, many currently manually pulled and consolidated. The role should aim to automate recurring reports and standardize timing to avoid point-in-time discrepancies.
Data accuracy: generally approximate with timing issues causing minor discrepancies (plus or minus a few requisitions). The analyst will need to understand operating rhythms and occasionally validate statuses with stakeholders.

Experience requirements

Preferred background: combination of data/analytics and HR/talent acquisition experience. Minimum ~5 years of relevant analytics or business-operations experience is suggested; more experience preferred if candidate lacks direct TA background. Familiarity with recruiting/talent analytics is strongly preferred.
Technical skills: strong Excel proficiency, experience with Tableau and Power BI, ability to navigate ATS (SmartRecruiters), and ability to create executive-level presentations.
No recruiting close‑loop responsibilities (no direct recruiting required); familiarity with recruiting processes and the ATS is sufficient.

Interview process & timeline

Two video interviews — one with Justin and a final 30-minute interview with Jeff or a senior director on Jeff’s team. Keep interviews short (around 30 minutes each) and schedule quickly to respect candidate availability.
Interview focus: candidate’s experience producing reporting for leaders, examples of translating data into actionable insights and business partnering (not just technical Excel skills). Candidates should be prepared to discuss operaing rhythms for learning data structures and driving insight-driven decisions. No pre-work is expected.
Team is distributed across Pacific, Texas, UK, and other locations. No strict working‑hours requirement; candidates should work their regular local hours and be flexible for periodic syncs with distributed leadership. Location is open.
