Talent Acquisition Manager

About the role

At Hiya, we're making calls safe, useful, and human again. Voice is the most human form of communication, yet it's become one of the least trusted. Spam, scams, and AI manipulation have eroded what was once a simple way to connect. Hiya is changing that. Each month our AI voice technology analyzes 28+ billion calls, protecting over 550 million users and 800+ businesses worldwide. Partnering with a growing global network including, AT&T, Samsung, British Telecom EE, Rogers, MasOrange,Bell Canada, MasMovil, and Virgin Media O2, we're not just stopping bad actors, we're helping people feel good and confident about picking up the phone again. This is a pivotal moment for voice. As new threats and technologies accelerate, so does demand for trusted voice communication. Hiya is growing 40%+ year over year, expanding globally, and defining what voice becomes next. Join us. You won't just work on what voice is today, you'll shape what it becomes tomorrow: smarter, safer, and genuinely worth answering again. Hiya is seeking a proactive, AI-forward Talent Acquisition Manager to lead and evolve our Talent Acquisition function. This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on recruiting execution and will be responsible for driving hiring efforts primarily across North and South America while helping create scalable, unified recruiting processes globally. You will manage a small but high-impact team, oversee our global internship program, and partner closely with leaders across the business to improve hiring effectiveness, candidate experience, and recruiting operations as Hiya continues to grow. This is a player-coach role ideal for someone who enjoys balancing leadership, operational excellence, employer branding, and direct recruiting ownership - especially within technical hiring environments. This role is designed for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, holds an uncompromising talent bar, and is energized by building while operating at high intensity. You should be equally comfortable influencing executives, personally closing critical hires, improving processes in real time, and leveraging AI to materially improve business efficiency and hiring outcomes. If you prefer highly defined processes, slower decision-making environments, or incremental change, this role will likely not be a fit.
