A Day in the Life of...

• You start your morning by reviewing your job requisitions on the Applicant Tracking System filtering through candidates that fit the job requirements. Talent Acquisition Partners might be working on 20 jobs at a time, so creating attractive job ads with clear requirements and prerequisites will help you find the star CV amongst the hundreds (if not thousands) of applicants. Being thorough yet efficient is key!
• It’s time to start phone screening your candidates. During the screening you will gather all insights to assess whether they fit the role, and the successful ones make it to your shortlist which you share with the hiring manager. For key positions, you will also partner with the regional sourcing team to ensure delivery of key talents.
• After lunch, you will arrange discussions with your stakeholders to update them on the progress of their vacancies. You will also create interview guides focused on competencies relevant to the positions to ensure fair and consistent assessments of all our candidates. These guides also help prepare hiring managers to structure the interviews. For new positions, you will align on all requirements of the role and set the expectations of hiring managers on timelines and availability of relevant candidates. This is your chance to position yourself as a trusted advisor in Talent Acquisition.
• Lastly, you will manage candidates who have gone through the recruitment process to provide feedback and ensuring a positive candidate experience even for those that are not selected. When a candidate is selected, you will partner with the hiring manager and HR Business Partner to create an attractive offer and manage the selected candidate until they sign‑off the offer and join.

What Will Make You Successful

• You have strong communication skills and to be able to work in a matrix organisation with multiple stakeholders
• 2/3 years of previous experience either in‑house or agency side, ideally though you will need some exposure to FMCG and recruiting for sales and marketing roles in the past would be a huge benefit.
