Preferred Experience:

• Experience leading or supervising a recruiter or Talent Acquisition professional.
• Experience with employer branding, candidate attraction, or recruiting technology optimization.
• Experience developing recruiting dashboards or executive-level reporting.
• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification preferred.

Who Will Be Successful:

The right person for this role is proactive, consultative, data-driven, and comfortable challenging the status quo. You will be successful if you can build strong partnerships, anticipate talent needs before they become urgent, improve recruiting discipline, and consistently raise the bar on hiring strategy, execution, and candidate experience.
