James Gowing

Global Talent Acquisition Operations Lead specialising in scalable hiring infrastructure, ATS optimisation, AI enablement and data driven recruitment strategy. I lead the design and delivery of end to end TA operating models across multi region environments, partnering with HR, Finance and Technology to align hiring delivery with business growth plans. My focus sits at the intersection of systems, process and intelligence. I optimise platforms such as Workday and other ATS environments, implement workflow automation, manage vendor integrations, and build reporting frameworks that give leadership real time visibility on hiring performance, capacity and forecasting. I have hands on experience leading ATS implementations and integrations, embedding AI driven tools including interview intelligence and GenAI dashboards, and building recruiter enablement frameworks that improve productivity and quality of hire. I translate complex hiring data into actionable insights for senior stakeholders, driving efficiency, compliance and measurable cost improvements. Comfortable operating in global, remote first and matrixed organisations, I bring a pragmatic and commercially focused approach to TA operations, balancing governance with speed and candidate experience.
