You will build lasting relationships with candidates and internal stakeholders, advise hiring managers on role competencies and structured interviewing practices, and embed our High Impact Culture principles into every hiring conversation. You will proactively identify improvements to recruitment tools and processes, embrace data, technology, and AI as standard enablers of your work, and contribute actively to the broader EMEA Talent Acquisition team through cross-functional projects spanning TA systems, diversity, equity and inclusion, and hiring manager capability building.

  • You are a consultative partner to hiring managers and senior leaders, able to influence talent decisions with well-reasoned, evidence-based recommendations.
  • You conduct structured, competency-based interviews with skill, assessing candidates across technical fit, functional expertise, soft skill competencies, and cultural alignment.
  • You handle sensitive information with discretion, maintaining a high standard of confidentiality throughout the recruitment process.
  • You are experienced with applicant tracking systems, professional networking platforms, and talent intelligence tools, and you use data proactively to inform and improve your hiring approach.
  • You demonstrate AI literacy – you understand how artificial intelligence tools work, their practical applications in talent acquisition, and the ethical considerations around bias, fairness, and data privacy, enabling you to make informed and responsible decisions in your role.
  • You are organized, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously, bringing clarity to ambiguous situations and a drive for simplification.
