The Role:  As a Senior Technical Talent Acquisition Partner, you will operate as a strategic talent advisor, owning end-to-end hiring across a complex portfolio of roles while directly influencing how JD Power hires. You will partner with senior leaders, People & Culture, and Finance to translate business strategy into forward-looking hiring plans.

This is a transformation role. We are shifting from transactional recruiting to a proactive talent engine. You will help design and embed this shift by bringing structure, rigor, and market insights to searches, while raising the bar on hiring quality, consistency, and decision-making.

The Impact You Will Have in This Role:  

You will directly elevate the quality, speed, and consistency of how JD Power hires. Your work powers our ability to bring in the right capabilities at the right time, enabling JD Power to deliver on its mission. Every role you fill is a decision that shapes our products, our culture, and our customers’ success. You will be a key driver in making TA a trusted, strategic partner to the business.

What You’ll Be Doing in This Role: 

• Own and drive end-to-end full-cycle recruitment (sourcing, screening, interviewing, assessing, offers, background checks, dispositions, etc.) for individual contributor through senior-level roles globally

• Lead structured intake conversations with hiring leaders to define success profiles, challenge assumptions, and align on clear, measurable hiring criteria

• Partner with hiring managers through structured intake sessions to define success profiles, hiring strategy, and interview plans aligned to JD Power’s Values and ways of working

• Drive active and passive sourcing strategies to build proactive talent pipelines for priority and high-demand skill areas as well as future capability needs

• Deliver a consistent, high-quality candidate experience that reflects the “One JD Power” standard

• Manage Workday Recruiting with excellence — maintaining data accuracy, requisition hygiene, and reporting integrity throughout every search

• Advise hiring managers on talent market dynamics, compensation benchmarks, and hiring feasibility to support informed, data-backed decisions

• Coach hiring managers on structured, predictive interviewing techniques; facilitate debrief sessions to drive objective hiring decisions

• Contribute to the evolution of TA processes, tools, and operating model — identifying opportunities for automation, standardization, and continuous improvement

• Participate in workforce planning conversations with Finance and People & Culture Business Partners to anticipate hiring needs ahead of demand

• Deliver timely requisition updates, pipeline metrics, and time-to-fill reporting to stakeholders as part of a data-driven TA function

Qualifications of this Role:

• Progressive full-cycle recruiting experience within technology, data, analytics, or professional services environments

• Experience recruiting across North America and Europe

• Demonstrated success sourcing and closing mid-to-senior level talent in competitive markets — including individual contributors, managers, and senior/VP-level roles

• Experience with Workday Recruiting or equivalent enterprise ATS — strong requisition management and reporting hygiene

• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and modern sourcing tools; builds pipelines proactively, not reactively

• Strong business partnership and stakeholder management skills — able to advise, influence, and build credibility quickly with confidence and data

• Data literacy: comfortable with recruiting metrics, dashboards, and using data to guide hiring decisions and tell the TA story to the business

• Structured interview experience: knowledge of competency-based and Values-aligned interview design

• Ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously in a fast-moving, evolving environment without sacrificing quality or candidate experience

• Transformation mindset: energized by building, improving, and standardizing — not just executing the status quo

• High accountability: owns outcomes and holds self and partners to a high bar

• Collaborative, solutions-oriented, and direct — aligned to the JD Power ways of working

The Hiring Manager says: 

“We’re not just filling roles — we’re building a talent function. I’m looking for someone who brings structure to every search, who genuinely partners with hiring managers rather than just processing requisitions, and who is energized by the opportunity to help build something better. If you care about the craft of recruiting and want to be part of a team that is raising the bar, this is the role for you.”

This position has a starting salary range of $100,000 - 110,000 CAD per year. This is the range we reasonably and in good faith expect to pay for the role at the time of posting. An employee’s pay within the range is determined by a number of factors, including relevant skills, education, qualifications, experience, performance, business or organizational needs, and geographic location.
