ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to join our Israel HR team in Rehovot. This is a full-cycle, recruiting role: you will own hiring end to end across the full spectrum of our Israel.

You will act as a true partner to hiring managers and HRBPs,  shaping hiring strategy, building talent pipelines through proactive sourcing, using AI-based tools to work faster and smarter, and delivering an outstanding experience to every candidate who meets Applied Materials. We hire in a highly competitive market for scarce technical talent, so this role is built for someone who is genuinely proactive, data-driven and comfortable owning results.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Full-Cycle Recruiting

• Own the complete recruitment lifecycle for a diverse portfolio of open positions from intake and kick-off through sourcing, screening, interviews, offer and closing.

• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, success profiles, interview structure and realistic hiring plans; challenge and advise where needed.

• Run structured, competency-based screening interviews and equip interview panels to assess consistently and fairly.

• Manage offer strategy in partnership with HRBPs and Total Rewards, and close candidates against competing offers.

Proactive Sourcing & Pipeline Building

• Build and execute multi-channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean and X-ray search, GitHub, professional communities, academic networks, referral campaigns, alumni and internal mobility, and market mapping.

• Generate qualified pipelines through direct outreach rather than relying on inbound applications; personalize messaging and consistently maintain healthy response and conversion rates.

• Map the Israeli talent market for critical and recurring roles, and build talent pools ahead of demand.

AI-Enabled Recruiting

• Use AI and generative AI tools as part of your daily workflow — for candidate research and market mapping, Boolean and search-query generation, CV screening support, job-description and outreach drafting, interview-guide preparation, and analysis of pipeline data.

• Continuously test and adopt new AI capabilities within our recruiting tech stack, share what works with the TA team, and help turn effective practices into repeatable standards.

Partnership, Data & Employer Brand

• Serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders, bringing market intelligence, benchmarks, pipeline insights and realistic expectations to every hiring conversation.

• Track and act on recruiting metrics — time-to-fill, pipeline health, funnel conversion, source effectiveness and offer acceptance — and use the data to drive decisions.

• Maintain accurate, timely data in the ATS (Workday) and ensure process compliance and audit readiness.

• Represent Applied Materials at career fairs, campus events, meetups and community activities, and contribute to employer-branding and diversity-hiring initiatives in Israel.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Required

• Minimum 3 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, hiring technical and/or professional roles in the Israeli market.

• Proven, hands-on proactive sourcing experience — you can independently build a pipeline from zero using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean/X-ray search and other direct-sourcing channels, and you have a track record of hires you sourced yourself.

• Demonstrated practical, day-to-day working experience with AI and generative AI tools in a recruiting context (e.g. sourcing and research copilots, AI screening or matching tools, LLM-assisted outreach, JD writing and data analysis) — and the curiosity to keep learning new ones.

• Strong business partnering and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence and credibility to influence senior hiring managers.

• Excellent assessment and interviewing skills, and sound, independent judgment on candidate quality.

• Hands-on experience with an ATS and comfort working with recruiting data, dashboards and metrics.

• Ability to manage a high-volume, multi-role workload independently, with strong prioritization and follow-through in a fast-moving, matrixed environment.

• Fluent Hebrew and English — written and spoken.

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
