  • Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, understand complex technical requirements, challenge assumptions, develop recruitment strategies, and provide data-driven advice on talent availability, candidate selection, and hiring decisions.
  • Create compelling job postings and manage opportunities across our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), LinkedIn, Indeed, and other relevant channels.
  • Conduct meaningful candidate assessments through resume screening, structured and behavioural interviews, and relevant assessments, focusing on skills, experience, technical relevance, career motivations, and alignment with role requirements.
  • Coordinate interviews, facilitate hiring team debriefs, and provide clear, objective recommendations to support timely, well-informed decisions.
  • Deliver a positive candidate experience through clear communication, timely follow-up, and a professional, respectful recruitment process.
  • Prepare employment offers and coordinate approvals with hiring managers.
  • Maintain accurate candidate records and recruitment data; track hiring progress and use recruitment metrics to evaluate sourcing effectiveness, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve hiring outcomes.
  • Leverage the latest sourcing tools and recruiting automation to improve candidate discovery, personalize outreach, streamline workflows, and increase productivity.
  • Contribute practical ideas and process improvements that make recruiting more efficient, scalable, and effective.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience
  • Demonstrated success independently sourcing, engaging, and closing passive candidates for difficult-to-fill technical and complex positions.
  • Advanced sourcing capabilities, including Boolean search, talent mapping, targeted outreach, and creative candidate identification techniques.
  • Experience using the latest recruiting tools, sourcing platforms, or workflow automation to improve recruiting effectiveness.
  • Strong hiring manager partnership skills, with the confidence to provide market insights, challenge assumptions, and influence hiring decisions.
  • Excellent organization, communication, and follow-through, with the ability to independently manage multiple complex searches.
  • High ownership, adaptability, and a results-oriented approach to working in a fast-moving environment.
