Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.

We are seeking a strategic, high-impact Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist who excels at full-cycle recruiting and is comfortable using AI-driven tools to accelerate hiring, improve pipeline quality, and deliver data-backed recommendations to business leaders.

This role spans global recruitment—with exposure across the U.S., India, and EU markets—giving you high visibility and the ability to influence FourKites’ growth across multiple functions.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead Full-Cycle Recruitment Across Key Functions

  • Manage a high req load of roles across GTM, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering

  • Partner closely with hiring managers and cross-functional teams to understand role requirements, team dynamics, and candidate fit criteria throughout the hiring lifecycle
  • Conduct thorough intake sessions to align on job specifications, target profiles, evaluation criteria, and hiring timelines
  • Provide hiring managers with market intelligence, competitive insights, and realistic pipeline expectations to calibrate search parameters

Recruiting Process Ownership:

  • Manage end-to-end recruitment for assigned requisitions, from sourcing and screening through offer negotiation and close
  • Coordinate interview scheduling, feedback collection, and debrief sessions while maintaining organized candidate pipeline tracking
  • Drive process improvements to reduce time-to-fill and enhance candidate experience across the recruiting funnel

Talent Evaluation & Assessment:

  • Conduct comprehensive candidate screenings to assess technical competencies, cultural alignment, and role fit before advancing to hiring manager interviews
  • Develop and refine evaluation frameworks and interview guides in collaboration with hiring teams to ensure consistent, structured assessments
  • Provide detailed candidate briefings and recommendation summaries to guide hiring decisions

Use Data & AI Insights to Drive Hiring Excellence

  • Track and analyze recruiting metrics: conversion rates, pipeline velocity, offer acceptance, and source effectiveness.
  • Use AI analytics to forecast hiring bottlenecks, recommend adjustments, and model time-to-hire based on market trends.
  • Provide leaders with real-time insights on compensation benchmarks, talent availability, geographic competitiveness, and hiring feasibility.
  • Deliver an Exceptional Candidate Experience
  • Ensure every candidate has a consistent, transparent, and professional experience.
  • Use AI-assisted scheduling, communication tools, and workflow automation to streamline candidate touchpoints.
  • Partner with HR Ops and onboarding teams to deliver a seamless post-offer experience.

About the team:

The TA team at FourKites is smart, ambitious, and incredibly collaborative, with a strong bias for action. We work hard, have fun along the way, and take real pride in building teams that shape the company’s future. What makes the team unique is the level of ownership and autonomy—everyone is empowered to think like a business partner, not just a recruiter.

Who you are:

Required

  • 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience
  • Experience in SaaS, AI, B2B tech, or product-based companies
  • Hands-on exposure to AI tools in TA (e.g., sourcing automation, AI-match tools, talent intelligence platforms, automated outreach tools)
  • Strong understanding of the U.S. talent landscape and global hiring dynamics
  • Expertise with LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and ATS platforms (we use Greenhouse)
  • Excellent stakeholder management with the ability to influence senior leaders
  • Clear, concise communication skills with vendors, candidates and internal employees/leaders
  • Ability to navigate shifting priorities across multiple regions
  • The role is based in Chicago and would be a hybrid role (2 days work from the office).

Preferred

  • Experience hiring for Customer Success, Sales, Product, and Engineering roles
  • Experience with candidate assessments such as Criteria Corp (CCAT, EPP)
  • Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or freight tech talent markets
  • Demonstrated track record of improving funnel conversion rates or reducing time-to-fill using AI or automation tools

 

We know that job postings can be intimidating, and research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. We encourage you to apply if you think you may be a fit and give us both a chance to find out!

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
