Talent Acquisition Partner

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner to join our team in Cork and take ownership of end-to-end recruitment activities across our EMEA region. You will manage a varied portfolio of requisitions weighted toward software engineering and technical roles, alongside a mix of G&A functions including Finance, Legal, HR, and Operations.

This is an embedded, high-ownership role. You will partner closely with hiring managers and leadership teams to deliver a recruitment experience that is fast, consistent and candidate-centered. You will bring both the sourcing craft to find talent that is hard to reach and the stakeholder management skills to keep complex hiring processes moving.

As part of a broader EMEA HR Team, you will work alongside HRBPs and HR Operations colleagues, with a dotted line to our global TA function, ensuring local hiring practices align with One Identity's global talent strategy.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities include the following:

• Own the full recruitment lifecycle for a portfolio of Engineering and G&A requisitions across EMEA, from intake through to offer acceptance and pre-boarding handover
• Conduct thorough intake meetings with hiring managers to establish role requirements, candidate profiles, assessment criteria, and realistic market expectations
• Partner with Hiring Managers to ensure that job advertisements reflect One Identity's employer brand and speak directly to the target candidate audience
• Manage candidate pipelines, ensuring all candidates receive timely communication and consistent, professional experience throughout
• Coordinate and schedule interviews, technical assessments, and hiring team debriefs, keeping processes moving efficiently and without unnecessary delay
• Prepare offer recommendations in partnership with the Finance, HRBP and Compensation teams, ensuring market competitiveness and internal equity are both considered
• Own the offer process end to end, including verbal offer conversations with candidates, offer letter coordination, and support through to signed contract
• Build credibility with technical hiring managers by developing a solid working understanding of the technology landscape, role specific requirements, and what differentiates strong candidates in each discipline
• Partner with engineering leads on Cork based and EMEA wide technical roles, navigating the nuances of the Irish and broader European engineering talent market
• Proactively source passive candidates using a multi channel approach e.g. LinkedIn Recruiter, direct outreach, networking, employee referrals and talent communities
• Build and maintain warm talent pipelines for high frequency or strategically important role families
• Develop knowledge of the Irish and broader EMEA tech talent market, maintaining awareness of competitor hiring activity, salary trends, and emerging talent pools
• Represent One Identity at career events, university partnerships, and professional networking forums to build the employer brand in the Irish market

The Successful Candidate Will:

• Build strong, trusted relationships with hiring managers across EMEA business, acting as a genuine partner in their hiring decisions rather than a transactional service provider
• Provide regular, proactive pipeline updates and market intelligence to hiring managers and HR Partners, helping them make informed and timely decisions
• Coach and advise hiring managers on structured interviewing techniques, inclusive hiring practices, and how to assess candidates effectively and fairly
• Set and manage expectations with hiring managers on time to hire, candidate availability, and market conditions
• Escalate and resolve hiring bottlenecks quickly, identifying where a process is stalling and taking ownership of driving it forward
• Champion a consistently excellent candidate experience at every stage, reflecting One Identity's values and ensuring every candidate leaves the process with a positive impression
• Gather candidate feedback and share insights with the HR Team and hiring managers to continuously improve the interview and offer experience
• Support One Identity's employer branding efforts in the Irish and EMEA market, contributing to content, events, and initiatives that raise awareness of One Identity as a great place to build a career in identity security

Qualifications

• Proven in house recruitment experience, ideally within a technology or software company, with a strong track record of delivering technical and G&A hires at pace
• Demonstrable experience recruiting software engineers and other technical profiles, with the ability to engage credibly with engineering stakeholders and technically assess CVs
• Experience recruiting across multiple EMEA markets; knowledge of the EMEA tech talent market and Ireland specifically is a significant advantage
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS (experience with Workday Recruiting is preferred)
• Strong direct sourcing skills with a genuine hunter mentality
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly with hiring managers, candidates, and HR colleagues
• Commercially minded and able to understand the business context behind a hire, not just the job specification
• Resilient and adaptable, comfortable managing a high volume, varied desk while maintaining quality and a positive attitude
