Director, Talent Acquisition

Director of Talent Acquisition

Dallas, TX | Private Equity-Backed Growth Organization

Are you a talent acquisition leader who knows how to build teams, develop recruiters, and create hiring strategies that scale a rapidly growing organization?

Do you enjoy using data to drive decisions, partnering with executive leadership, and creating recruiting processes that fuel growth? Are you equally comfortable setting strategy, coaching leaders, and rolling up your sleeves to help fill critical positions?

We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed healthcare services organization seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition to lead and elevate the entire recruiting function. This is a highly visible leadership role reporting directly to senior leadership and responsible for building the talent infrastructure needed to support significant growth across the organization.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a mission-driven organization making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families
• Significant growth trajectory supported by a strong private equity sponsor
• Opportunity to lead and shape the entire talent acquisition function
• High level of visibility and partnership with executive leadership
• Influence workforce planning, recruiting strategy, employer branding, and talent operations
• Build and develop a high-performing recruiting team
• Competitive compensation package with substantial long-term growth potential

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of talent acquisition leaders and recruiters
• Establish and execute the organization’s talent acquisition strategy to support aggressive growth goals
• Partner with executive leadership to align hiring plans with business objectives
• Build accountability through recruiting metrics, dashboards, and performance management processes
• Oversee recruiting efforts across corporate, leadership, professional, and operational roles
• Develop sourcing strategies that create sustainable talent pipelines in competitive markets
• Partner with marketing to strengthen employer branding, candidate attraction efforts, and recruiting campaigns
• Drive recruiting process improvements that enhance efficiency, scalability, and candidate experience
• Manage recruiting technology, reporting, workforce analytics, and vendor relationships
• Provide executive-level reporting on hiring performance, pipeline health, market trends, and workforce planning initiatives
• Ensure recruiting operations are positioned to support new market expansion and organizational growth

What We’re Looking For

• Progressive leadership experience within talent acquisition, recruiting, or workforce planning
• Proven success leading recruiting teams in high-growth, multi-site, or complex organizations
• Strong background using recruiting metrics, analytics, and performance data to drive results
• Experience building recruiting infrastructure, processes, and scalable hiring programs
• Ability to develop leaders, coach recruiters, and create a culture of accountability and performance
• Strong executive presence with the ability to influence senior leaders and key stakeholders
• Experience within healthcare, professional services, multi-location operations, or other high-growth environments is highly preferred
• Strategic mindset balanced with a willingness to remain hands-on when needed

The Ideal Candidate

This role is designed for a builder. Someone who enjoys creating systems, developing people, and solving complex hiring challenges while helping an organization scale. The right leader will be highly analytical, people-oriented, and driven by results, with the ability to balance long-term strategy and day-to-day execution.

What’s in It for You?

This is an opportunity to lead talent acquisition during a period of significant organizational growth. You’ll have the autonomy to shape strategy, build a best-in-class recruiting function, develop future leaders, and directly influence the company’s ability to achieve its mission and growth objectives.

If you’re a talent acquisition leader who thrives in fast-growing environments and wants to make a meaningful impact while building something special, we’d love to connect.
