Talent Acquisition, Senior Specialist (One year contract)

About the Role

DayOne is building Thailand's first 1-gigawatt data centre campus and hiring at a pace the market hasn't seen before. We need a Talent Acquisition Specialist who can do more than coordinate — someone who sources independently, owns their roles end-to-end, and brings enough market knowledge to challenge a brief and improve it. You'll operate as a core member of the TA team, working closely with the TA Lead to deliver against Thailand's hiring plan across technical, operations, and commercial functions. This role reports to the APAC Construction Hiring Lead.

What You'll Deliver in 12 Months

• Roles closed on time and on quality across your assigned functions
• Clean pipeline data and reporting the team can act on

Your Responsibilities

• Run full-cycle recruitment for assigned roles — from sourcing and screening through to offer and close
• Develop and execute proactive sourcing strategies for specialist and hard-to-fill talent: mechanical, electrical, civil, and data centre operations
• Conduct structured candidate screening and present shortlists with clear assessment rationale
• Build and manage relationships with passive candidates in Thailand's infrastructure talent pool
• Advise hiring managers on role scoping, market availability, and candidate expectations
• Own ATS data integrity — pipeline stages, candidate records, and disposition tracking
• Draft and post job advertisements across LinkedIn, JobsDB, JobThai, and relevant niche platforms
• Coordinate assessments, interviews, and offer processes end-to-end
• Track and report on key metrics — time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness
• Contribute to employer branding activity including career events and university outreach

Must-Haves

• 3-5 years of end-to-end recruitment experience, with a track record of closing specialist or technical roles
• Experience sourcing passive candidates — not just managing inbound applications
• Strong knowledge of Thailand's talent market, particularly in technical or infrastructure sectors
• Confident assessing candidates independently and presenting recommendations to hiring managers
• Thai native speaker with strong business English
• Comfort working with ATS platforms, data, and reports
• Able to hit the ground running with minimal onboarding

Nice-to-Haves

• Background hiring in critical infrastructure — data centers, energy, or utilities
• Experience recruiting for large-scale construction projects (commercial, industrial, or infrastructure)
• Experience working in high-growth or greenfield environments
• Familiarity with Thai Labour Protection Act and work permit processes for specialist hires
• Workday ATS experience

Why DayOne

Thailand's digital infrastructure market is being built right now — and DayOne is at the centre of it. We're developing Thailand's first 1-gigawatt data centre campus — a project that will set the benchmark for critical infrastructure in Southeast Asia. This isn't incremental growth. It's a greenfield build at a scale the region hasn't seen, and the team behind it needs to move accordingly. As part of the Talent Acquisition team, you'll be embedded in that build from day one. You'll work directly with the TA Lead and alongside hiring managers who are shaping functions from the ground up — which means your work has direct impact, and your voice in the room carries weight. For a TA professional who's spent years filling roles in steady-state environments, this is a different kind of challenge. The pace is real, the roles are genuinely hard to fill, and the market knowledge you bring will be put to use — not just acknowledged and set aside. Thailand's infrastructure talent market is tightening as regional demand accelerates. The recruiters who build networks and market expertise here now will be the ones who matter most over the next decade. DayOne is where that work starts.
