About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

We're looking for a consultative, strategic and data-savvy analyst to join our Recruiting organization. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of market research, competitor analysis, and talent acquisition — translating complex data and insights into recommendations that drive strategic business decisions and organizational growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate ambiguous recruiting competitive intelligence (CI) questions into structured problem statements and scoped analyses, including identifying data sources and metrics needed and partnering with the business to ensure analyses answer business questions
• Conduct ongoing competitive intelligence (CI) and market research to track talent market trends and competitor hiring movements, using benchmarking frameworks
• Translate those insights into actionable, data-backed hiring strategies and clear recommendations for leadership, and monitor how actions drive outcomes over time
• Partner with recruiting teams and stakeholders across the organization — managing incoming CI/research requests and supporting strategic workforce decisions with timely research
• Develop and maintain resources, tools, and dashboards to make intelligence accessible and actionable for the recruiting team
• Automate manual reporting processes to scale insights delivery
• Work with cross-functional partners (Workforce Planning, IT, Data Engineering) to determine approach and system needs for Recruiting Analytics/Competitive Intel strategy and data accuracy
• Partner to identify and implement opportunities to agentify CI information and analyses to speed delivery and quality of insights 

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of experience in consulting, data analytics, market research, or recruiting intelligence
• Experience turning ambiguous questions into structured problem statements and scoped analyses
• Strong analytical and data storytelling skills with the ability to turn complex data and analyses into compelling, executive level narratives
• Experience with competitive intelligence frameworks, research methodologies, and benchmarking and translating these into actionable insights
• Experience with LinkedIn Talent Insights (LTI) to pull and analyze talent flows
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Collaborative mindset, able to manage multiple stakeholder requests and shift direction quickly as priorities change
• Passion for talent strategy and the competitive hiring landscape
• Prior Talent Intelligence or Talent Mapping experience
• Experience with Tableau or other data visualization tools
• Curiosity to grow and upskill in relevant tools and technical languages

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting a Recruiting or HR organization
• Experience with Revelio, Draup, Lightcast or other market-standard CI platforms
• Experience with Workday ATS and HCM
