Talent Acquisition Consultant

Our client, an established SaaS in the business tax area, is looking for a TA Operations Project Manager for a long term contract.

Preferred timezone is: Eastern or Central Timezone.

Our Client’s TA Operations & Enablement team is mid-way through a global ATS transformation and needs a consultant who can roll up their sleeves from day one. You'll work embedded with the team — building, testing, documenting, and enabling. You think upstream and downstream, not in silos, and you connect what's happening in one workstream to what it means for the next.

This is a year long contract, and may extend.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years in Talent Acquisition Operations or Enablement— as a doer
• Workday Recruiting functional implementation experience (TA side, not HRIS/technical)
• Paradox scheduling — direct, hands-on experience
• Portfolio of process maps, SOPs, and training materials you personally built
• UAT / functional testing experience on an ATS or HR platform
• Facilitating training with live audiences

Desired Skills & Experience

• BrightHire or HiredScore
• Change management experience in a TA or HR context
• Global recruiting environment background

What You Will Be Doing

TA Operations ATS Project Manager

Responsibilities:

Enablement — this is the core of the role:

• Independently create process maps, SOPs, and workflow documentation for current and future-state recruiting operations
• Write training materials, job aids, and quick-reference guides that recruiters and coordinators will actually use
• Facilitate training sessions and train-the-trainer programs — you run the room, not just design the deck
• Spot where manual steps can be simplified and document the improved path

ATS implementation & testing — functional, not technical:

• Support Workday Recruiting implementation from the talent acquisition side — recruiter workflows, requisition-to-offer flows, configuration validation
• Build test scripts, execute UAT scenarios, log defects, and track resolution through to close
• Support Paradox scheduling implementation: testing, validation, and end-user enablement
• BrightHire and/or HiredScore experience is a real plus

Project execution & communication:

• Own your workstreams — manage task lists, flag risks early, follow through without being chased
• Turn meetings into decision logs, clear next steps, and accountability
• Write and speak clearly across TA, HR Ops, and technical teams
• Build PowerPoint decks and status summaries that make complex updates simple

You're the right fit if:

• You've been in the weeds on a Workday TA implementation, not just observed one
• You have samples of process maps and training content you created yourself
• You naturally think about how a change in one step affects everything upstream and downstream
• Your most recent role was individual contributor — not managing a team that does this work
