Talent Acquisition Partner - McLean, VA (Contract)

The Appian Talent Acquisition team is passionate not only about all things recruitment, but ensuring we have first class experiences from a candidate's first interaction to supporting stakeholders in their hiring journey. We are responsible for end-to-end delivery - everything from creating interview processes, marketing our employment brand, to helping scale Appian’s organization. We love to partner with stakeholders and candidates, and have a blast while doing it.

This position is responsible for supporting North America hiring efforts across multiple business functions. We’re looking for someone who can act as a bit of a flex player, as you’ll be responsible for hiring top talent across both tech and non-tech organizations. We care deeply about quality hires, candidate experience, and stakeholder partnerships.  

This role would start out as a 6-month contract, and will be based at Appian's Headquarters in McLean, VA. This is a hybrid role; we are targeting candidates who can reliably join us in office 3 days per week.

• Build effective partnerships with business stakeholders.  Shape outcomes with hiring based on data and market trends.   
• Own candidate lifecycle from start to finish, ensuring candidates experience a “white glove” level of service throughout their journey with Appian
• Think outside of the box and utilize creative marketing, sourcing strategies, and techniques to promote Appian as an employer of choice

Some of the tools and resources we will equip you with include:

• We’ll give you access to: LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, and more
• Dynamic Talent team and an environment to try new things - take the risk, be creative! 
• We want you to invest in passion projects. From being involved in one of our affinity groups, coffee chats, presentation skills workshop classes - you name it. If you want to expand your reach outside of the People team, we encourage you to do so
