• Apply knowledge of recruitment systems, processes, and brand positioning throughout the hiring lifecycle.
• Work with the practice team and Canada People Team to support sound hiring decisions through good judgment and strong communication.

What you need to succeed

You should bring strong full-cycle recruiting experience and the confidence to manage key hiring areas with minimal supervision in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

• More than 3 years of full-cycle recruitment experience in professional services, financial services, or technology environments.
• Demonstrated success in high-volume hiring and sourcing from multiple channels, including headhunting, job boards, and LinkedIn recruitment tools.
• Ability to quickly take ownership of major recruitment accounts.
• Strong understanding of recruitment policies, processes, and protocols, along with a broad view of service lines within the firm.
• Ability to work independently in a dynamic, team-oriented setting.
• CHRP or a related designation is preferred, and experience in professional services is an advantage.
