Required Qualifications and Skills

• Strong understanding of how employer branding and candidate experience influence trust and perception.
• Ability to strategize and execute recruitment plans efficiently.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building capabilities with candidates, hiring teams, and cross-functional partners.
