As a trusted advisor to hiring managers, you will provide expert guidance and coaching throughout every stage of the hiring process. Significant experience in both active and passive sourcing techniques is essential, along with a strong ability to engage and nurture talent pools aligned to support workforce planning.

Experience with AI-enabled talent platforms and the use of psychometric assessments including administering and interpreting results would be highly advantageous. Above all, you’ll be someone who collaborates effectively with hiring managers and P&C Business Partners to influence, guide, and enhance hiring outcomes through data-informed insights and a consultative approach.
