Key responsibilities

• Identify and connect with candidates through internal platforms, external tools, search methods, referrals, career sites, and events to build strong and impartial talent pipelines aligned with team targets and service expectations.
• Run introductory screening discussions to review compensation expectations, skill fit, and availability, while clearly explaining the hiring process and setting realistic expectations around the role and pay.

You may then coordinate with hiring managers, refine sourcing plans, advise candidates on interview preparation, track progress in internal systems, and look for ways to improve workflow efficiency. The role may also involve attending hiring events or supporting referral activities, removing blockers through stakeholder escalation, and adjusting your approach using data and feedback.
