If you're excited about shaping hiring strategies, mentoring others, and making a meaningful impact, this could be the perfect role for you.

What will you do?

As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll lead Dream's hiring efforts, managing the recruitment process from early-career to senior leadership roles. You'll play a hands-on role in refining our processes, supporting our teams, and enhancing our employer brand. This is a dynamic, high-impact position where your ideas and expertise will be highly valued.

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for intern, entry-level, junior, mid, and senior management roles, including leadership positions.
• Conduct strategic sourcing for managerial and above roles, including confidential searches.
• Partner with hiring managers and executives to develop tailored hiring strategies and provide advisory support for senior roles.
• Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline across all levels and departments.

• At least 8 years of experience in talent acquisition or recruitment, with a proven track record in full-cycle hiring, including senior management roles.
• Experience with strategic sourcing, headhunting, and networking.
• Mentoring or coaching junior team members is an asset.
• Strong understanding of recruitment metrics, talent strategy, and employer branding.
• Proficiency with applicant tracking systems (experience with UKG is a plus) and Microsoft Office Suite.
