Overview
Inovalon's Talent Acquisition function operates at the intersection of healthcare and technology, delivering the leaders and critical capabilities behind a cloud-based SaaS and DaaS platform serving more than 50,000 customers. TheSenior Talent Acquisition Partner is an expert full-cycle recruiter who operates as a Talent Advisor — not just an executor. This role owns a broad portfolio of requisitions across all levels and functions — Customer Operations, Go-to-Market, Corporate, and Engineering/Technical — and shapes hiring strategy alongside senior business leaders.
The Senior TAP challenges conventional thinking — evaluating candidates for long-term capability, skills, not just credentials and past titles. They bring external market intelligence and internal funnel data to every stakeholder conversation, facilitating better hiring decisions across a diverse and dynamic req load. They are trusted advisors across all stakeholder levels and a force multiplier for the TA team.
Duties and Responsibilities
Full-Cycle Search Ownership
- Own full-cycle recruiting across a broad portfolio of requisitions spanning Customer Operations, Go-to-Market, Corporate, and Engineering/Technical functions — from individual contributor through Senior Director level.
- Demonstrate versatility across functional domains: fluent in the talent markets, role profiles, and hiring criteria relevant to each function you support.
- Run a strategic kickoff — not just an intake — that co-builds search strategy, establishes a skills-based success profile, and sets clear expectations with the hiring manager before sourcing begins.
- Evaluate candidates for what they can do and learn, not just what their resume reflects; challenge credential-matching mindset with structured, evidence-based assessment.
- Manage candidate experience through timely, transparent communication, honest feedback, and accurate ATS disposition at every stage.
- Negotiate and extend competitive offers, navigating complexity around compensation, competing offers, and candidate concerns with confidence and market grounding.
- Conduct all recruiting activities in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations, including those governing equal employment opportunity and OFCCP.
Talent Advisory & Stakeholder Partnership
- Challenge hiring manager assumptions and reframe search parameters with external market data and internal funnel insights — before the search launches, not after it stalls.
- Bring a prepared point of view to every strategy, debrief, and stakeholder conversation; does not wait to be asked for an opinion.
- Manage stakeholder relationships across all levels — from individual hiring managers and team leads through Directors, VPs, and senior business leaders — adapting communication style, depth of insight, and advisory approach to the audience.
- Coach hiring panels on structured, skills-based interviewing and lead calibration sessions that result in faster, better-informed hiring decisions.
- Identify and document what 'good looks like' for each search — role-specific success criteria, behavioral competencies, and future-ready attributes — and align the panel before interview begins.
- Partner closely with the broader People team — including People Business Partners, Total Rewards, and HR Operations — to align on offer strategy, compensation positioning, headcount planning, and candidate experience; operate as one integrated team, not a siloed function.
Market Intelligence & Sourcing Strategy
- Develop targeted sourcing strategies using competitive intelligence, talent mapping, Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and other AI-enabled resources— tailored to each role and talent market.
- Maintain functional market expertise: talent supply, compensation positioning, competitor activity, and hiring trends within assigned domain(s).
- Translate market dynamics into clear guidance for hiring managers on availability, timeline realism, compensation competitiveness, and role design trade-offs.
- Source proactively — build warm pipelines for recurring roles and hard-to-fill profiles before requisitions go stale; do not rely solely on inbound applicants.
Data-Driven Insight & Continuous Improvement
- Conduct data post-mortems on closed requisitions — identify patterns, surface root issues, and bring actionable recommendations to the team; not just observations.
- Monitor and report on funnel health for owned requisitions: conversion rates at each stage, source performance, and time-in-stage trends.
- Use AI tools to generate insightful interview notes, improve outreach quality, and sharpen candidate analysis — review all outputs before use and apply judgment, not automation.
Team Contribution & Knowledge Sharing
- Lead at least one meaningful contribution per cycle that benefits the whole TA function — a sourcing playbook, intake framework, assessment guide, SME documentation, or process improvement that teammates actually adopt.
- Share sourcing wins, pipeline intelligence, and market insights openly with teammates; contribute to team knowledge before being asked.
Other Responsibilities
- Maintain compliance with all applicable employment laws and company policies; partner with legal counsel and leadership to manage risk and uphold a culture of integrity.
- Maintain compliance with company policies, procedures, and mission statement; adhere to all confidentiality requirements in all aspects of the role.
- Fulfill those responsibilities and/or duties that may be reasonably provided for the purpose of achieving the operational and business success of the organization.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of progressive full-cycle recruiting experience in a corporate environment (SaaS strongly preferred), with demonstrated success owning a varied requisition portfolio across multiple business functions — Customer Operations, Go-to-Market, Corporate, and Engineering/Technical — at all levels from individual contributor through Senior Director.
- Some experience recruiting for engineering roles; comfortable partnering with technical hiring managers, screening for engineering competencies, and navigating technical talent markets
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a Talent Advisor — challenging hiring manager assumptions with data, co-building search strategy, and influencing hiring decisions rather than executing orders.
- Proven skills-based hiring expertise: experience designing and deploying scorecards that assess future-ready competencies, not just technical credentials; able to evaluate candidates for capability and long-term potential.
- Proven ability to manage stakeholder relationships across all organizational levels — from hiring managers and team leads through Directors and VPs; adapts advisory approach to the audience while maintaining a consistent standard of partnership quality.
- Strong sourcing capability across passive channels — LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, AI tools — with a demonstrated track record of building proactive pipelines, not relying on inbound.
- Proficiency with ATS platforms and sourcing/AI tools; uses technology to amplify quality and judgment, not to replace it.
- Analytical mindset: able to interpret funnel data, identify patterns across searches, and translate insights into actionable recommendations for hiring managers and the TA team.
- Demonstrated mentoring or coaching impact — has actively developed a more junior colleague or coordinator and can speak to how that relationship produced measurable growth.
- Curiosity and learning agility — proactively identifies skill gaps, experiments with new methods, and shares what they discover with the team; growth is self-directed, not manager-prompted.
