Introduction

Are you a fluent bilingual English/French HR professional looking to grow beyond traditional recruitment?

Our client is seeking a Bilingual Talent Development & Talent Acquisition Specialist (English/French) for an exciting hybrid opportunity in the Greater Toronto Area. This role is ideal for an early-career talent professional who wants hands-on recruitment experience while building broader expertise in learning, employee development, performance management, succession planning, analytics, and engagement.

You will join an established organization with significant operations in Canada and internationally, offering the resources, structure, and professional exposure to help you build your HR career.

Compensation: $65,000 to $75,000 base salary, plus a 5% performance bonus

Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Work model: Hybrid, 3 days in office Tuesday through Thursday, plus 2 days working from home

Vacancy status: This is an existing vacancy with immediate availability.

What You’ll Do

This is not a purely transactional recruiting position. You will gain exposure to both Talent Acquisition and Talent Development, giving you an opportunity to develop a broader HR skill set.

You will support the full recruitment lifecycle, partner with hiring managers and HR stakeholders, improve the candidate experience, work with recruitment analytics, and contribute to learning and talent initiatives. You will also have opportunities to participate in projects involving onboarding, training, performance management, succession planning, and employee engagement.

For someone who is curious, ambitious, and ready to learn, this role offers a strong foundation for continued growth in Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, or broader Human Resources.

Responsibilities

• Manage recruitment activities including job postings, sourcing, candidate screening, interview coordination, and candidate communications.
• Communicate professionally with candidates and stakeholders in both English and French.
• Partner with hiring managers and HR stakeholders to understand hiring requirements and selection criteria.
• Develop creative sourcing approaches for a variety of positions.
• Support recruitment campaigns across job boards, social channels, referrals, and other sourcing channels.
• Help improve recruitment processes, systems, efficiency, and the overall candidate experience.
• Maintain recruitment trackers and analyze metrics such as time-to-fill.
• Prepare presentations and reports that turn recruitment and talent data into useful insights.
• Support onboarding and new-hire orientation activities.
• Assist with the design, coordination, and implementation of employee training programs.
• Track training completion, assessments, and employee feedback.
• Contribute to performance review and goal-setting processes.
• Support training-needs analysis and maintain learning resources and content.
• Participate in succession planning and employee-development initiatives.
• Support employee engagement programs and other talent projects.
• Coordinate meetings, projects, materials, vendors, and external recruitment partners.
• Participate in occasional travel within Canada and site visits where personal protective equipment may be required.

Qualifications

• Fluent English and French, both spoken and written, is required.
• Approximately 1 to 2 years of progressive experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, talent management, learning and development, or a related HR function.
• Experience within healthcare or another complex, regulated, or multi-site environment is an asset.
• Strong skills with Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office, particularly spreadsheets, presentations, reporting, and documentation.
• Familiarity with applicant tracking or Talent Acquisition systems.
• Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Confident communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive approach to sourcing and the perseverance to identify and engage strong candidates.
• Curiosity, initiative, and a continuous-improvement mindset.
• Comfortable balancing hands-on recruitment activities with broader talent-development projects.
• CHRP designation, or progress toward the designation, is considered an asset.

This opportunity combines competitive compensation with benefits designed to support your professional and personal growth:

• $65,000 to $75,000 base salary
• 5% performance bonus, based on individual and organizational performance
• Hybrid schedule, with 2 work-from-home days per week
• Benefits effective from Day 1
• 3 weeks of vacation
• Pension/RRSP matching after 90 days, with a 1% to 3% match
• Annual CHRP professional fee paid by our client
• Exposure to both Talent Acquisition and Talent Development
• Opportunities to build experience in analytics, employer branding, training, onboarding, performance management, succession planning, and employee engagement
• Direct collaboration with hiring managers, HR professionals, and organizational leaders

Why Work with Us

This is an excellent opportunity to accelerate your development without being limited to one area of HR. You will have the chance to strengthen your recruiting expertise while gaining meaningful exposure to the programs and projects that shape employee development and organizational talent.

Our client offers the scale and resources of a large international organization while providing an opportunity to make an impact within its Canadian operations. You will work with experienced HR and business stakeholders, develop valuable technical and strategic capabilities, and gain exposure to multiple stages of the employee lifecycle.

If you are bilingual in English and French, enjoy finding great talent, and want a role that can expand your HR career beyond recruiting, we would love to hear from you.
