About Us

Our mission is to enable strength and clarity through key life events. We believe everyone should have access to the legal services they need. Funded by leading VC firms, Flare (formerly Themis-Tech) is an industry leader in legal technology. We’re reimagining how clients and attorneys work together, with one goal: to make legal services accessible to those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it. We’re a team of creative problem-solvers who want to make the world a better place. Join us.

The Team

We want to harness our mission, the potential of our business, and the culture of our company - to find, attract, and onboard the best humans for our path ahead. Hiring the best talent globally is no easy feat. Our up-and-coming Talent Acquisition (TA) team, when firing on all cylinders, can passionately connect that mission and story with top-notch talent in a highly candidate-centric manner, building relationships long before the hire and on through the candidate’s Flare experience. When we’re winning here, we’re rallying behind a talent strategy that inspires, with a blend of science and passion.

The Role & Impact

If successful, this individual will be widely respected as the person leading the talent charge for how we accomplish our mission. This will include leading on: shaping our hiring plan and strategy so we’re ahead of talent needs, analytics that help us find the diverse talent needed to not only today but in the future, employment branding and how we’re positioning ourselves globally in a rapidly changing world, talent intelligence (and the mapping of our strategy to business needs for each market), and an extraordinary candidate experience. In building a world class company via a world class TA function, the person in this role will position the hiring managers to own the success of their hiring efforts and be one step ahead of everyone on the talent plan. A winning impact will be partly in the metrics - but also in the narrative of the TA team members being widely viewed as essential partners and one step ahead of the business in meeting the organizational talent needs.

The Head of Global Talent Acquisition will be based in the USA and report into the Chief People Officer.
