Job Description for Senior Talent Acquisition Manager

Senior talent acquisition managers are responsible for overseeing the process of recruiting prospective employees to an organization. Their goal is to find the highest potential in these workers and they are involved in all steps of the process, from sourcing prospective employees and attracting them to the organization to interviewing and even training them. At a senior level, however, these managers are often more involved in supervising junior talent acquisition managers who carry out these processes.

Specific duties of the position may involve working with internal teams and hiring managers, developing recruitment strategies, managing recruitment programs, using social media and other specialized technical methods for sourcing candidates, and developing talent pools. The role of talent acquisition is fairly new to business and is often carried out in large organizations and corporations, specifically within the human resources (HR) department.

Senior talent acquisition managers typically work 40-hour weeks in an indoor office setting, and they may occasionally need to leave the premises to meet with candidates. Their work is largely non-physical and requires a range of mental skills, including a thorough understanding of labor markets, comprehensive knowledge of their own workforce and business plans, and proficiency with computers and communication technology. Many senior talent acquisition managers have a variety of credentials, and requirements for the position vary by employer. As this is a competitive field, a bachelor's or master's degree in business, human resources, or a related field and years of prior experience are generally required by employers.
