Talent Acquisition Technology Lead

Recruiting here runs the way Morningstar's research does — on evidence, independence, and a genuine point of view, not order-taking. Your job is to make that the daily standard for the recruiters around you.

What You'll Do

• Own recruiting outcomes for Morningstar's technical roles across North America — quality of hire, speed, and candidate experience.
• Define what good looks like across intake, sourcing, selection, and closing, and mentor recruiters against a capability model with hands-on feedback that grows true advisors.
• Take on the most complex and senior searches in your area, bringing evidence, judgment, and a clear point of view to every stage.
• Bring genuine technical fluency across AI/ML, engineering, and product — enough to hold credible conversations, assess real depth (not keywords), and partner with engineering, data science, and product leaders to turn technical requirements into search strategy and market maps.
• Serve as the senior TA voice for your domain with business and HR leaders, bringing market intelligence and a clear point of view.
• Make structured, fair, evidence-based selection the standard across your domain, and facilitate calibrated debriefs.
• Own pipeline health for your domain — forecasting risk, intervening early, and turning recruiting data into insight for stakeholders and TA leadership.
• Design and champion AI-assisted recruiting workflows, driving adoption while keeping their use responsible and compliant.
• Contribute to playbooks, training, and process improvements that scale beyond your own searches.
• Support the vision and values of the company through role modeling and encouraging desired behaviors.
• Participate in various company initiatives and projects as requested.

Required Qualifications

• 7 or more years of recruiting experience, including time spent mentoring or coaching other recruiters
• Personal track record owning complex or senior searches with strong, measurable outcomes
• Deep understanding of technical hiring across AI/ML, engineering, and product — you can scope technical roles credibly and speak the language of the teams you hire for.
• Demonstrated ability to set standards and raise the capability of the recruiters around you — people grow under your coaching
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders with market insight and data
• Fluent designing and coaching AI-assisted recruiting workflows
• Solid working knowledge of employment law, EEO, and OFCCP as applied to talent acquisition

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Workday, Paradox and Hired Score
• Track record building or improving a recruiting program, tool, or training curriculum
