Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications: - A minimum of 1 year of experience in full-cycle recruiting, or equivalent experience in an HR or Talent Acquisition role. - Demonstrated fluency with data, using metrics and analytics to craft recruitment strategies, create compelling narratives, and influence decisions. - Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport quickly and communicate effectively with all levels of the organization. - A global mindset with experience partnering effectively with colleagues and stakeholders across different time zones and cultures. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience hiring for technical roles, specifically in areas like Core Algorithms. - A results-oriented, self-starter mentality with a history of taking initiative, embracing calculated risks, and continuously seeking innovation. - A genuine passion for building teams from scratch and the resilience to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. - Fluency in Mandarin is preferred, to communicate and collaborate effectively with global stakeholders. - A Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience.
