We are looking for a driven and results focussed Talent Acquisition Partner to own recruitment across our APJ region. You will have a strong background in hiring both technical and non technical talent and be comfortable recruiting in volume and at speed with a high bar on quality. You will operate with ownership and accountability and be passionate about providing an exceptional experience to our candidates and stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity as it's the first time we are hiring for this role in the region and you will play a key role in supporting our growth strategy in a culture that supports trying new approaches and continuous learning.  

About the Team

We call ourselves People Strategy rather than traditional Human Resources, because we execute the business strategy of the company through the execution of a people plan that motivates, develops, and inspires our employees. Our employees are the lifeblood of the company, and our Talent Acquisition team diligently ensures we’re attracting and hiring the best talent to drive impact to our customers, our company, and each other. 

About the Role

As a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner you will provide the highest level of recruitment services across all open roles in the APJ region. These can range from sales, go to customer and business support type roles to hiring for our technical teams and our SOC (security operations centre). You will need to deliver high quality candidates and advance our brand across the APJ market and communities, whilst guiding hiring managers and candidates through the process. The right candidate will have demonstrated experience managing a full cycle desk and using creative sourcing methods to attract top talent to Rapid7.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with hiring Managers to build effective sourcing and assessment strategies while managing expectations clearly

• Proactive sharing of market insights to enable Hiring Managers to make the right hiring decisions, looking at talent availability and cost 

The skills you’ll bring include:

• Previous experience in an end-to-end recruitment role within a high growth Technology company, preferably hiring Go to Customer talent.  In-house experience would be advantageous, but we would also consider someone who is looking to move from agency into their 1st in-house role 

• The ability to source passive talent and get them engaged by creating a compelling pitch about Rapid7 and the opportunity, fully understanding the candidate’s motivators 

• Ability to develop recruitment strategies while leveraging internal and external metrics and insights
