Job Description
Title: Talent Acquisition Manager
Location: Western Chicagoland Suburbs (ONSITE)
$$$: 140-155k
Industry: Research/Science
We’re searching for a bold, strategic, and forward-thinking Talent Acquisition Manager to join a major research facility located in the Western Chicagoland Suburbs. This isn’t your typical TA role—this is your chance to lead transformation, shape the future of recruitment, and be the driving force behind hiring top-tier talent across executive, scientific, and high-level technical functions.
As the TA Manager, you’ll step into a high-impact leadership position where your vision and execution will directly influence the growth and innovation of a nationally recognized institution. This is your moment to be a true change agent—to build, optimize, and elevate the entire talent acquisition strategy from the inside out. Salary for the role is 140-155k.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
High Visibility & Impact – Report directly to senior leadership and partner with decision-makers to recruit the minds that will drive groundbreaking research and technical innovation.
Own the Strategy – You’ll lead and evolve full-cycle recruiting efforts while championing diversity, process excellence, and employer branding.
Build Something Bigger – Be a part of transforming the talent engine of a facility known for cutting-edge discovery and global impact.
Unmatched Growth Potential – Step into a leadership role with room to grow into senior HR or strategic operations roles.
Incredible Benefits – Enjoy generous PTO, top-tier healthcare, retirement plans, tuition assistance, and work-life flexibility that respects your expertise.
Mission-Driven Environment – Surround yourself with some of the smartest minds in science, engineering, and research—all working toward world-changing goals.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Lead & Elevate the Talent Function – Oversee all strategic recruiting efforts, ensuring alignment with long-term organizational goals.
- Recruit for Impact – Manage and execute searches for executive, scientific, and technical leadership roles, ensuring we hire the best and brightest.
- Develop & Drive Strategy – Refine recruitment processes, implement data-driven decisions, and build scalable systems to support a growing pipeline.
- Coach & Inspire – Lead and mentor a small but mighty recruiting team, fostering a high-performance culture and passion for talent excellence.
- Champion DE&I – Promote inclusive hiring practices that reflect the values and diversity of the organization.
- Be a Brand Ambassador – Own the employer brand, from job postings to candidate experience to the organization’s presence in the talent marketplace.
- Partner Cross-Functionally – Collaborate with HR, department heads, and leadership to forecast talent needs and refine workforce planning strategies.
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field
- 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership or management capacity
- Experience hiring in technical, engineering, scientific, or research environments
- Proven success recruiting for senior-level and executive roles
- Strong understanding of ATS platforms, metrics, employer branding, and innovative sourcing strategies
- Confident communicator, trusted advisor, and adaptable leader with a growth mindset
- Experience working in complex or mission-driven organizations (R&D, biotech, academia, etc. a huge plus)
