Job Description

About the Opportunity

Our client is a well-capitalized, global technology organization operating at the forefront of artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced infrastructure development.

As part of a major investment in next-generation AI capabilities, the company is building a portfolio of large-scale, mission-critical data center projects across Texas. These initiatives are designed to support high-performance computing, advanced analytics, and real-world AI applications.

The organization offers a fast-paced, high-performance environment that values operational excellence, disciplined execution, and the ability to scale complex infrastructure in support of long-term growth.

Due to the nature of this project, additional details will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.

The ideal candidate brings strong agency-style instincts, exceptional direct sourcing skills, and the ability to find and engage talent without relying on automated sourcing platforms or inbound applicants. You will independently manage searches from hiring manager intake through verbal offer acceptance across frontline, technical, operational, professional, and leadership positions.

We are looking for a true talent hunter, someone who knows how to find people, build relationships, solve sourcing challenges, and deliver results through creativity, persistence, and sound judgment.
