Hi J***n, I’m J***e, an HR Recruiter at StrategyBrain. I came across your profile and was really impressed by your 15+ years of progressive HR leadership,especially your talent management and acquisition work at O***s E***r. We’re partnering with H***h I***s on a Director of Global Talent Management and Acquisition role, focused on shaping global talent strategies and leadership development in a fast-growing healthcare technology environment. Would you be open to a brief chat to explore this opportunity?

Hi J***n, Great to hear this resonates with your background. Here’s a quick overview of the opportunity: H***h I***s is a 500,1,500-employee, remote-friendly SaaS and healthcare technology company focused on delivering innovative solutions to hospitals and care networks. As the Director of Global Talent Management and Acquisition, you would: • Develop and execute end-to-end global talent strategies,covering workforce planning, succession planning and leadership development across North America, EMEA and APAC. • Lead full-lifecycle recruitment and onboarding for technical, corporate and leadership roles, partnering closely with senior leaders to anticipate and meet talent needs. • Own employer branding and candidate experience initiatives to position H***h I***s as an employer of choice in a competitive market. • Leverage ATS data and HR analytics to identify process improvements, track KPIs and drive continuous optimization. This role reports to the VP of HR, manages a small global team of talent professionals, and offers strong visibility and growth potential,setting you up for future senior-leadership roles. You’ll have dedicated ATS and analytics tools, a collaborative cross-functional environment, and a competitive compensation package with bonus and equity. Does this sound like what you had in mind? I’d love to dive deeper. Are you available for a 20- to 30-minute call this week? I’m free Wednesday at 10:00 am ET or Thursday at 2:00 pm ET,let me know if either works or suggest another time. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to ask!

Hi J***n, Perfect,Wednesday at 10:00 am ET is all set. Right now, the Global Talent team is a compact group of four direct reports covering North America, EMEA and APAC recruiting, plus a shared analytics partner. You’ll also work closely with local HRBPs and regional business leaders. The top challenge we’d like you to tackle is building a truly scalable, regionally nuanced talent management and acquisition framework. In EMEA and APAC we need to harmonize leadership development and succession planning with local compliance and market expectations, while elevating our employer brand to compete for top healthcare-tech talent,and do it all at a pace that supports our aggressive growth goals. Looking forward to unpacking this further on Wednesday! Best, J***e

Hi J***n, Great questions. Here’s a snapshot of what’s live today and where we’ve bumped into the most complexity: 1. Leadership Development - EMEA: We rolled out a core Leadership Accelerator program last year,four virtual modules on strategic thinking, change management and coaching skills,paired with regional mentoring circles. Local HRBPs run quarterly “ leadership forums” to reinforce learnings and share best practices. - APAC: We’ve piloted a two-phase cohort model: foundational leadership essentials followed by cross-functional project rotations in markets like Australia, Singapore and Japan. Content is delivered in partnership with local learning providers to ensure cultural relevance. 2. Succession Planning - Both regions leverage a high-potential 9-box calibration process, but it’s more mature in EMEA thanks to stronger data capture in our ATS. In APAC, we’re still standardizing how each country identifies and tracks successors, so visibility on Level 2,3 roles can be spotty. 3. Compliance Nuances - EMEA: GDPR constraints around candidate data and psychometric assessments require distinct consent flows. Germany and France have works council or labor-court notice requirements that often extend transition timelines. - APAC: Immigration and visa rules vary dramatically,China and India have specific secondment and background-check protocols, while Australia enforces strict working-time regulations and mandatory trainings. Coordinating a uniform global policy without violating local laws has been our trickiest lift. Overall, we have a solid foundation but need to weave it into a seamless, scalable framework,especially as we double down on rapid growth. I’m looking forward to unpacking how your O***s experience with global templates and local rollouts can accelerate these efforts on Wednesday. Let me know if there’s a particular country or topic you’d like to drill into further beforehand. Best, J***e

Hi J***n, Great questions,happy to dive in. 1. APAC Cohort Model - Participant Selection: We partner with regional HRBPs and business leaders to nominate high-potential managers based on a mix of performance ratings, succession-planning data (our 9-box), and readiness assessments. Nominations go through a global review panel to ensure cross-market representation and alignment with strategic priorities. - Success Metrics: We track four core KPIs across markets: program completion rate, post-program promotion or lateral move rate, project-rotation impact (business sponsors score on deliverable outcomes), and participant engagement (Net Promoter Score from surveys). We also monitor retention of cohort alumni versus peers over a 12-month window. 2. Accelerating EMEA Works-Council Sign-Off - Early Engagement: We’ve found it invaluable to involve works-council reps at the design phase,sharing draft program materials and data privacy protocols upfront. This reduces back-and-forth once formal approval kicks in. - Standardized Templates & SLAs: Our internal legal team created a “works-council starter kit” with pre-approved language for program overviews, consent forms, and data-handling clauses. We negotiate standard sign-off timelines (typically two weeks) and build reminders into our project plan. - Local Champions: Assigning a regional HR partner to field council questions in real time (via a dedicated Slack channel or weekly sync) has cut review cycles by roughly 30%. I’d love to walk you through examples and discuss how your global rollout expertise could refine these approaches. Looking forward to our call Wednesday at 10:00 am ET,let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to cover beforehand. Best, J***e

Hi J***n, Great questions , here’s a bit more color: 1. APAC Readiness Assessments • We combine standardized psychometric tools (cognitive and leadership-style inventories) with business simulations that mirror our healthcare-tech challenges (e.g., cross-functional case exercises, stakeholder role-plays). • Calibration happens via our Global Assessment Center of Excellence: local HRBPs and external providers validate translations and cultural fit, we run norming studies in each market, then align on score thresholds through quarterly calibration calls with regional leads. 2. Works-Council Starter Kit Clauses • Data-handling & privacy: local reps often request tweaks to the consent language around candidate data storage and analytics. • Consultation timelines & escalation: the defined SLA window (two weeks) and escalation path tend to drive the most back-and-forth as councils push for longer review periods or additional touchpoints. • Confidentiality & representation: councils sometimes ask for more detail on who sits in consultation sessions and how materials are shared. I’d be happy to share sample language and walk through live examples on our call. Looking forward to diving deeper Wednesday at 10 am ET,let me know if there’s any other angle you’d like to cover beforehand. Best, J***e

Hi J***n, Here’s a bit more detail on both fronts: 1. Psychometric Vendors & Calibration - Vendors: We partner primarily with H***n for leadership‐style inventories and S***L for cognitive assessments. - Japan: Our initial norm set ran about 5,7% above the local average. We worked with S***L Japan to recalibrate thresholds via a targeted norming study and adjusted cut‐scores accordingly. - India: A few abstract-reasoning items needed translation tweaks for cultural clarity. We conducted a small pilot group, refined phrasing, and re-ran the norms to ensure equivalence. 2. Works-Council Kit Adjustments - Germany: Councils often push for shorter data-retention windows,our standard 24-month period was negotiated down to 12,18 months,and insist on a fully bilingual (German/English) consent form. - France: The CNIL-aligned maximum retention of 12 months is a hard requirement, plus reps typically request a clear “right to erasure” clause drafted in French. We’ve now baked both into our standard template. I’m happy to share sample templates and calibration summaries on our call Wednesday at 10:00 am ET. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to cover beforehand! Best, J***e
