As Senior Manager of Global Talent Acquisition at ICANN, I optimized our TALEO ATS, managed global payroll coordination with SGWI, and led talent acquisition for offices in D.C., Brussels, Istanbul, Switzerland, Singapore, and Montevideo. I managed, reported, and tracked all TA metrics, ensuring data-driven recruitment decisions.I oversaw global background checks with HireRight and led a team of five, including recruiters, coordinators, and sourcers. Personally filling half of the organization's annual positions (60-70), I recruited key roles such as VP of Technology, VP of Communications, Treasury position in Finance, Economist, and Directors for Global Stakeholder Engagement, as well as the entire Contracts Services Group (CSG) in Legal.I developed global workflows for hiring and onboarding, partnered with stakeholders across LA, D.C., Brussels, Istanbul, Singapore, and Montevideo, and recruited internationally in countries like the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Germany, India, Kenya, Mexico, Canada, Benin, Australia, Kazakhstan, Sweden, and Uruguay. I created internal global programs, including the Internal Volunteer Program (IVP), Ambassador Program, Internship Program, and Immigration Program, and designed the internal recruitment process with detailed flowcharts & Visio diagrams.Engaging with all 12 senior leaders, I gathered consensus and input on recruitment strategies, led weekly TA/recruiting meetings and global onboarding process meetings, and created all global offer letters while overseeing new hire processing. I managed the high-visibility Next Round (NxR) project, filling 50+ operational and technical positions, and promoting DEI initiatives. This included diverse sourcing strategies, inclusive hiring practices, and fostering a culture of acceptance and belonging.My leadership at ICANN resulted in streamlined recruitment processes, enhanced global talent acquisition, and a strong, diverse workforce aligned with organizational goals.
