The Crown Is Yours

As a Talent Advisory & Delivery Specialist, you'll help shape the teams that shape DraftKings by combining exceptional full-cycle recruiting with talent intelligence, thoughtful partnership, and an instinct for what the business needs next. You'll work directly with hiring leaders and colleagues across the business to turn hiring priorities and talent-market insights into focused strategies that strengthen current and future talent pipelines. You'll move beyond transactional recruiting by bringing informed perspectives, challenging assumptions, and using data, technology, and AI to make smarter talent decisions. With end-to-end ownership of your searches, you'll balance pace with precision, accountability with empathy, and technology with human connection, delivering the talent and experiences that help DraftKings compete and grow.

Responsibilities

Build a deep understanding of the teams you support, including their priorities, customers, talent needs, and competitive landscape. Turn talent-market signals, competitor movement, talent availability, pipeline data, and candidate feedback into recommendations that help hiring leaders make informed decisions and earn trust in your perspective.
Lead your searches from intake through hire, with success measured by how you deliver, not activity alone.
Translate business needs into focused talent strategies, identify and engage high-quality talent, guide stakeholders through the hiring process, and adapt your approach as business priorities and hiring plans evolve.

Make every candidate and stakeholder interaction clear, responsive, and human. Help candidates understand the opportunity and DraftKings, prepare hiring teams to make thoughtful decisions, and continuously look for ways to strengthen the hiring experience.
Apply AI and emerging recruiting technology to strengthen research, talent mapping, sourcing, communication, and workflow efficiency. Test new approaches, learn from the results, and scale what improves quality, speed, or experience. Use sound judgment to determine where technology adds value and where meaningful human connection matters most.
Partner across Talent Advisory & Delivery, People Teams, business teams, and geographies with transparency and shared accountability. Bring candid perspectives, welcome different points of view, and contribute beyond your own searches when your expertise can strengthen the team’s results.
Maintain accurate recruiting data and use it to understand funnel health, uncover patterns, and translate insights into action. Focus on measures that strengthen hiring decisions, experiences, and results.
Identify recurring challenges, test better approaches, and share what works across Talent Advisory & Delivery. Stay curious about our business, competitors, and talent markets, bringing outside-in thinking to hiring conversations and continuously improving how we attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent.

Strong research and analytical skills, with experience using talent intelligence, competitor mapping, external market trends, and recruiting data to identify patterns and improve hiring outcomes.
Confidence partnering directly with hiring leaders, including asking thoughtful questions, sharing informed perspectives, and respectfully challenging assumptions when it can lead to a better outcome.
A track record of creating strong candidate and stakeholder experiences through clear communication, preparation, empathy, and consistent follow-through.
Comfort using recruiting technology, including applicant tracking systems, with an eagerness to experiment with AI-enabled tools to improve quality, insight, and efficiency; Workday experience is a plus.
