Chin Tan
Talent Partner @ RoboForce
About
I’m a talent and workplace leader with over a decade of experience scaling teams and operations across technology, manufacturing, and global enterprises. Currently in Talent & Workplace Experience at RoboForce, I previously led technical recruiting initiatives at Tesla and 1X, hiring across hardware engineering, manufacturing, construction, facilities, and MEP disciplines. I specialize in aligning hiring strategy with aggressive production and infrastructure growth, including compensation strategy, relocation, and employment-based immigration. Prior to recruiting, I managed global workplace and food programs at TikTok / ByteDance, overseeing a $70M global budget across 50+ countries and supporting 10,000+ employees. I partnered with HR, Real Estate & Facilities, and executive teams to elevate employee experience, implement global WFH strategies, and scale workplace operations internationally. My foundation in hospitality and large-scale event operations strengthens my ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage complex programs, and execute at scale in fast-growth environments.
