• Personally source, engage, assess, and close passive candidates across EMEA and global markets.
• Build strong candidate pipelines for difficult‑to‑fill technical, scientific, quality, regulatory, clinical, manufacturing, commercial, and leadership positions.
• Deliver a high‑quality candidate experience and represent Nova Biomedical with professionalism and credibility in the external talent market.
• Provide leaders with talent market insights, competitor intelligence, and recommendations regarding sourcing strategies.
• Use recruiting data and external market knowledge to influence hiring decisions, timing, prioritization, and talent investment.
• Partner with HR and business leaders on workforce planning, succession considerations, and build‑versus‑buy talent discussions.
• Identify talent risks and recommend proactive solutions before hiring needs become urgent.
• Operate effectively across Europe, North America, and Asia while managing relationships across multiple time zones.
• Partner with leaders across Engineering, Software, AI and Machine Learning, Manufacturing, Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Affairs, Quality, Supply Chain, Product Management, Commercial, Service, and Corporate functions.
• Adapt recruiting strategies to local labor markets while supporting consistent global hiring practices.
• Collaborate across cultures with clear communication, sound judgment, and strong follow‑through.
• Use applicant tracking systems, candidate relationship management platforms, LinkedIn Recruiter, market mapping, referrals, and sourcing tools to improve pipeline quality and recruiting velocity.
• Track and communicate recruiting status, pipeline health, risks, and next steps with clarity and discipline.
• Recommend process improvements that strengthen hiring quality, stakeholder alignment, and recruiting efficiency.
• Support disciplined intake processes, structured interviews, candidate scorecards, and effective offer strategies

• Strong executive presence with excellent written, verbal, consultative, and presentation skills.
• Ability to balance strategic talent advisory responsibilities with hands‑on recruiting execution.
