  • Experience in end-to-end recruitment, preferably in a corporate setting, and ability to manage an assigned portfolio and competing hiring priorities.
  • Clear verbal and written communication, including explaining evidence, managing expectations, and constructively questioning hiring requirements.
  • Learning agility and practical problem-solving, with sound judgment when priorities change or information is incomplete.
  • Ability to build effective relationships across hiring teams, HR, and shared-service partners.
  • Proficiency with applicant tracking systems and disciplined data-quality practices.

  • Evidence of delivering reliable hiring service and improving recruitment outcomes, with attention to assessment quality and candidate experience.
  • Fluency in English.
  • Ability to interpret basic talent-market and recruitment-funnel data, recognize limitations, and translate findings into practical action.
  • Working knowledge of structured interviews, job-relevant assessment, and consistent documentation of candidate evidence.

Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end recruitment for an assigned portfolio, from sourcing and screening through assessment and offer, and hand over clearly to onboarding partners.
  • Coordinate shared-service support and maintain continuity for hiring managers and candidates.
  • Build partnerships with hiring managers and HR partners; agree role outcomes, critical skills, assessment criteria, and delivery priorities before search.
  • Question unnecessary requirements using available evidence, and raise broader workforce or location choices with the appropriate TA or HR partner.
  • Conduct structured candidate evaluations using agreed interviews, relevant work samples, and checks.
  • Assess demonstrated capability, job-relevant behaviors, and learning potential against consistent criteria; record evidence and make recommendations while hiring managers retain selection accountability.
  • Explain approved rules for candidate AI use.
  • Use talent-market information, salary benchmarks, and recruitment data to explain sourcing options and realistic timelines.
  • Identify availability or conversion issues, recommend action within scope, and escalate complex decisions or material exceptions.
  • Maintain accurate applicant tracking system records and use approved recruitment technology and AI within company standards.
  • Check technology and AI outputs for accuracy, job relevance, and unfair patterns before use.
  • Identify unnecessary recruitment steps and test agreed improvements, tracking review effort as well as time saved.
  • Apply company recruitment, assessment, confidentiality, and data-handling standards; communicate clearly about AI use where relevant, document decisions, and seek guidance from designated owners on legal, policy, or technology concerns.
  • Adapt sourcing and engagement to the role and talent segment; build relevant candidate relationships, reach diverse talent pools, and communicate credible information about the role and employee experience.
  • Keep role content accurate and respond promptly at important candidate decision points.
  • Monitor agreed delivery, conversion, and experience measures.
  • Contribute recruitment evidence and post-hire feedback to shared quality-of-hire reviews with hiring managers and HR partners.
  • Help identify whether improvements concern selection, onboarding, manager support, or role expectations.
  • Build advisory, assessment, and AI judgment through feedback and continuous learning.
  • Share useful market insights and use capacity released by improved workflows for candidate engagement and hiring-manager advice.
