As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains. We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world. Planet is a global company with employees working remotely worldwide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About The Role
Planet's mission is to image the entire Earth every day and make global change visible, accessible, and actionable. Delivering on that mission depends on our ability to attract exceptional people across engineering, manufacturing, commercial, and corporate teams. This role leads the strategy, operating model, and team behind how Planet finds, attracts, and hires that talent. As Senior Director, Talent Acquisition, you will own Planet's global hiring strategy and lead a Talent Team distributed across multiple regions. You will build the operating model that turns headcount plans into predictable hiring outcomes, own the external partner ecosystem, and serve as the executive voice for talent acquisition across the company. You will report to the Chief People Officer and partner closely with leaders company-wide. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco office 3 days per week.
Impact You’ll Own
- Set and drive Planet's global talent acquisition strategy, and build, lead, and develop a high-performing Talent Team distributed across multiple regions.
- Own the recruiting operating model — capacity planning, forecasting, process design, and analytics — so that hiring delivers predictably against the company's growth plan.
- Partner with executive leadership and hiring managers across the company to translate headcount plans into hiring outcomes.
- Own talent acquisition operations, systems, and reporting, ensuring the function runs on clean data and clear, consistent process.
- Build and manage the external partner ecosystem that extends Planet's reach into specialized and global talent markets.
- Champion an outstanding candidate experience, a compelling employer brand, and inclusive, equitable hiring practices.
- Use data to measure hiring outcomes, continuously improve them, and report progress and forecasts to senior leadership.
What You Bring
- 10+ years of experience leading talent acquisition at scale in a high-growth organization, including building and managing geographically distributed teams.
- 8+ years of people-leadership experience: hiring, coaching, and developing recruiters, sourcers, coordinators, and recruiting managers.
- A track record of designing and operating a recruiting model built on capacity planning, forecasting, process, and analytics — not reactive, req-by-req execution.
- Experience hiring for technical and specialized roles, ideally in engineering, hardware, or other complex disciplines.
- Ability to partner with, advise, and influence executives and senior hiring leaders.
- Experience selecting and managing external staffing partners and vendor relationships.
- Fluency with recruiting systems and data — applicant tracking, reporting, and analytics — and a habit of using metrics to guide decisions.
- Experience hiring across multiple regions, including outside the United States.
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience scaling a talent acquisition function in aerospace, hardware, deep tech, or other complex engineering environments.
- Experience building or maturing recruiting operations, analytics, or capacity-planning capabilities.
- Familiarity with global employment considerations across EMEA and APAC.
- Experience integrating AI or automation into recruiting workflows.

Tips for Your Global Talent Acquisition Job Search
Quantify your hiring pipeline results
Recruiters and hiring managers expect global talent acquisition candidates to show numbers behind their work. Swap vague phrases like 'managed recruiting' for specifics: roles filled per quarter, time-to-fill reduced, or offer acceptance rates improved across international markets.
Highlight cross-border sourcing strategies you've used
Global talent acquisition roles prioritize candidates who have sourced across multiple countries or time zones. Call out the specific regions you've recruited in, the sourcing channels that worked, and any experience coordinating with local HR teams or relocation vendors.
Filter openings by the ATS or HRIS tools listed
Job postings for global talent acquisition roles almost always name required tools, such as Workday, Greenhouse, or SAP SuccessFactors. Match those tool names in your resume to pass automated screening, and prioritize roles that list systems you already know well.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists global talent acquisition openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a competency story for each interview stage
Global talent acquisition interviews typically probe for influence without authority, because you're persuading hiring managers and candidates simultaneously. Prepare at least one concrete story for each: a time you pushed back on a role definition, reengaged a declining candidate, or closed a difficult offer.
Negotiate scope before negotiating compensation
In global talent acquisition, the regions or business units you own directly affect your workload and career trajectory. Before you discuss pay, clarify which markets you'll cover, whether you have dedicated sourcers, and how performance is measured across different hiring cycles globally.
Global Talent Acquisition Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most global talent acquisitions?
The companies hiring the most global talent acquisitions right now include TikTok, ByteDance, and Amazon, with the largest share of openings in California, Washington, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Technology and professional services firms consistently account for the highest volume of postings at this level.
How many global talent acquisition jobs are remote?
About 44% of global talent acquisition openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more flexible HR disciplines. Roles focused on sourcing, employer branding, and candidate experience tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while positions tied to executive or on-site workforce hiring more often require in-person presence.
How do you become a global talent acquisition?
Start by building full-cycle recruiting experience in a domestic role, then take on stretch assignments that involve sourcing or interviewing candidates in other countries. Develop fluency with enterprise applicant tracking systems and learn the basics of international employment compliance. Moving into a global talent acquisition title typically requires demonstrating you can manage hiring across time zones, coordinate with local HR partners, and advise business leaders on international labor market conditions.
Can you get a global talent acquisition job with little experience?
Entry points into global talent acquisition usually come through coordinator or sourcer roles where you support senior recruiters on international requisitions. Demonstrating fluency in a second language, experience living or working abroad, or a background in international business can substitute for years of direct recruiting experience. Agencies and RPO firms are often more willing to hire candidates who are newer to the function and develop their skills on high-volume global accounts.
What does the global talent acquisition interview process look like?
The process typically moves through a recruiter screen focused on your sourcing channels and tools, a hiring manager interview probing your ability to influence stakeholders and manage complex requisitions, and a panel or case exercise where you walk through how you'd build a recruiting strategy for a new market or hard-to-fill role. Some employers add a presentation round asking you to diagnose a sample talent gap or propose improvements to an existing process.
Where can I find and apply to global talent acquisition jobs?
You can find and apply to global talent acquisition jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, seniority, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
