Hi there!
Zapier is hiring a Sr. Talent Acquisition AI Automation Analyst to supercharge our recruiting engine. In this role, you’ll work hand-in-hand with the TA Talent Strategy & Operations team to drive key sourcing automation projects that modernize how we identify and engage talent. You’ll turn sourcer and recruiter pain points into scalable solutions and pilot AI-driven workflows that make hiring faster, smarter, and more inclusive.
If you love building automations and reducing team pain points with AI-first processes, this is the job for you. You’re passionate about designing AI-driven workflows and leveraging Zapier’s own automation engine to eliminate friction, boost recruiter effectiveness, and create more space for meaningful candidate connections. Reporting to Zapier’s Sr. Manager, Talent Strategy & Operations, you’ll serve as a valued partner within our Talent Acquisition Team. You’ll also collaborate closely with stakeholders across the People Team to create scalable systems, automate existing processes, and help hiring teams work more efficiently.
Our philosophy for hiring
About You
You’re operationally fluent in talent acquisition. You bring 5+ years of experience in recruiting operations, sourcing, HR tech, or a related field. You’ve managed ATS systems (we use Ashby), rolled out tools with smooth implementation and enablement, and built processes that help teams work smarter.
You think like a builder. You design processes and automations that change how work gets done. You translate recruiter needs into workflows, experiment with new tools, and iterate quickly for impact.
You’re skilled in AI and automation. You explore modern AI tools and know how to apply them in recruiting. You use Zapier’s AI orchestration platform or a similar solution to streamline workflows and eliminate friction.
You care about quality and clarity. You design processes that are compliant, scalable, and easy for users to adopt. You communicate clearly, document thoroughly, and build trust across technical and non-technical teams.
You build for scale and enablement. You create sourcing enablement practices that make finding and engaging candidates easier and more equitable. You design systems and training that give recruiters and hiring teams confidence in new tools.
You value collaboration and influence. You work well with leaders, peers, and partners. You take ownership of solving problems, share knowledge openly, and can raise the bar for recruiting operations at Zapier.
You're adaptable. You've been in fast-growing companies and possess the expertise to build, evolve, and adapt to a company's changing needs as it grows. You roll up your sleeves and do the little things if that's what the team needs.
Things You’ll Do
Zapier is a small, fast-growing, and remote company, so you'll experience a variety of projects across the organization. In this role, you’ll help modernize how we source and hire in an AI-assisted world, leading improvements to our sourcing processes and providing recruiters with better insights, tools, and automation to find and engage great talent globally. You’ll contribute to builds, lead experiments, and drive adoption of automation across the recruiting lifecycle, ultimately paving the way for Zapier’s Talent team to serve as a model for other Talent Acquisition teams and customers.
That said, here are some things you'll do:
Pilot and refine AI-enabled sourcing workflows by bringing innovative approaches that empower recruiters to discover and engage talent more effectively in the AI era.
Drive sourcing enablement and recruiter efficiency by optimizing existing workflows across Ashby, Brighthire, Zapier, and other tools, and by building lightweight automations to remove friction from day-to-day recruiting.
Build and scale recruiting automations across sourcing, interviewing, offers, and onboarding—measuring ROI and deciding when to expand or sunset.
Design and implement enablement programs that enhance recruiter excellence, strengthen hiring manager effectiveness, and ensure adoption of new processes.
Use data to guide decisions, tracking impact, hours saved, adoption, and overall efficiency.
Partner with leadership on executing established TA initiatives like promotions, talent brand operations, and vendor management—always staying ahead of industry trends.
Drive cross-functional projects from concept to launch, ensuring compliance, smooth integrations, and adoption across recruiters, sourcers, and hiring teams.
Roll up your sleeves to ship automations directly, whether in Zapier, Ashby, ChatGPT, or other tools.
Application Deadline:
The anticipated application window is 30 days from the date job is posted, unless the number of applicants requires it to close sooner or later, or if the position is filled.
Even though we’re an all-remote company, we still need to be thoughtful about where we have Zapiens working. Check out this resource for a list of countries where we currently cannot have Zapiens permanently working.
