Job description
Our Sourcing Specialists tell the story of Google to the world. They care deeply about cultivating relationships, have lively, thoughtful conversations with their candidates, and know our organization and its products well enough to articulate life-changing opportunities. As an expert in the talent needs of our business, you’ll be an adviser to the extraordinary people you find, engage, and guide through Google’s hiring process. By the time you’ve introduced a would-be Googler to our partners in recruiting, they are comfortable, well informed, and excited about the possibilities that await them here. The demands of our company, as it continues to grow and transform the industry, are great. Your analytical mind, curiosity, and sincere approach to your work make you exceptional enough to meet them.
The Executive Recruiting Team (ERT) helps find, engage and hire the next generation of leadership talent across Google. The team’s work is focused solely on the critical leadership roles that will be responsible for the future of the company.
You will focus on identifying and cultivating leadership talent who will help build, deliver, and drive our innovative technologies and services. You will own the talent market(s) for a particular business or function with Google, utilizing various tools, resources and sourcing methodologies to uncover and engage the talent in the space, to develop long-lasting relationships, and to match them with the leadership opportunities to which they are best aligned. You will be an investigative and detail-oriented problem solver, and a strong resourceful manager of projects and processes who delivers outcomes. You have a passion for learning, discovery, solving business puzzles, and developing relationships.
Great just isn't good enough for our People Operations team (known elsewhere as "Human Resources"). We bring the world's most innovative people to Google and provide the programs that help them thrive. Whether recruiting the next Googler, refining our core programs, developing talent, or simply looking for ways to inject some more fun into the lives of our Googlers, we bring a data-driven approach that is reinventing the human resources field.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $111000 - $159000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
