• Collaborate with hiring managers to clearly define role requirements, timelines, and establish candidate evaluation criteria, ensuring adherence to recruitment protocols.

• Exemplary stakeholder management skills, knowing when to communicate updates, assert necessary boundaries, and escalate issues professionally and promptly.
• Highly process-oriented, maintaining robust ATS data hygiene, abiding by service level agreements, and emphasizing detailed documentation.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to deliver clear updates, articulate requests, and convey difficult messages effectively without damaging relationships.

Additional Information

This position involves working in a developing talent acquisition function without established playbooks, requiring adaptability, initiative, and comfort in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Candidates effective in fully documented, rigid processes may find this less suitable. However, those who excel in guided yet flexible settings where solutions are crafted dynamically will thrive.
