Scale, Quality, and Speed: Inside eBay's Talent Transformation with Danielle Clark (VP, Global Talent at eBay)

Danielle Clark leads a team of 130 people across five countries as VP of Global Talent at eBay — covering everything from talent acquisition to learning, performance, ops, and analytics under one roof. In this episode, she sits down with Matt Staney to unpack how eBay built an innovation hub in India from scratch, scaling from zero to 1,000 hires in under a year while maintaining just 6% attrition. Danielle shares the playbook behind their high-velocity hiring drives, why leadership hires should come first, and how tools like BrightHire are helping her team move from reactive order-taking to genuine talent intelligence. She also gets into eBay's responsible AI framework, why "human in the loop" is non-negotiable, and what it really takes to get hiring managers on board with interview transparency. If you're navigating AI adoption, global scaling, or trying to consolidate your talent function — this one's packed with practical takeaways.
