3. Process Optimization & ATS Setup
- Design, implement, and optimize ATS workflows and dashboards for tracking productivity, pipeline health, and metrics.
- Refine recruitment processes to maximize efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and improve hiring quality.

4. Stakeholder Management
- Partner with US leadership and department heads to define role briefs, candidate profiles, and hiring timelines.
- Communicate proactively on pipeline health, challenges, and risks.
- Serve as the single point of accountability for all US recruitment outcomes.

- Strong experience with ATS systems setup, reporting, and automation.
- Exceptional communication and negotiation skills with US stakeholders.
- Highly aggressive, confident, and results‑driven—you take ownership and push the team to achieve ambitious targets.
- Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure environment with tight deadlines.
