Based in Manila and working as part of Aon’s Pacific Talent Acquisition team, the Talent Acquisition Partner will deliver end-to-end recruitment for roles across ANZ. The role will act as a trusted talent adviser to hiring managers, People colleagues and business leaders, combining strong recruitment delivery with market insight, proactive sourcing and an inclusive, skills-based approach to help Aon attract and hire high-quality talent.

• Lead detailed intake meetings with hiring managers to understand business priorities, role outcomes, essential skills, candidate profiles, timelines and assessment requirements; constructively challenge briefs where appropriate.
• Develop and execute fit-for-purpose recruitment strategies that reflect the role, available talent, location, remuneration, market conditions and agreed service expectations.
• Act as a trusted talent adviser to hiring managers, People Partners and business leaders by providing evidence-based market intelligence, pipeline insights and clear recommendations that support informed hiring decisions.

Proactively anticipate scheduling conflicts, dependencies and potential delays, taking early action to maintain momentum and deliver a seamless experience for candidates, hiring managers and colleagues.
• Manage finalist due diligence, approvals, verbal offers, negotiation, pre-employment checks and written-offer coordination in line with Aon policy and relevant Australian requirements.
• Partner with recruitment coordination, People Operations, onboarding and other specialist teams to deliver an accurate and seamless transition from accepted offer to commencement.
• Deliver a consistent, responsive and inclusive experience for candidates and hiring managers, including clear communication with candidates who do not progress.
• Maintain accurate and timely records in Aon’s applicant tracking and HR systems, ensuring data quality, process compliance, appropriate handling of candidate information and a clear audit trail.
• Use recruitment technology, automation and AI-enabled tools responsibly to improve productivity, research and decision support, while applying human judgement, protecting candidate data and following Aon guidance.
• Monitor recruitment activity, pipeline health, ageing, source effectiveness, time-to-fill, service levels, candidate experience and other agreed measures; use insights to identify risks and improve outcomes.
• Escalate delays, approval bottlenecks, market constraints and delivery risks early, presenting practical options to keep recruitment moving.
• Use panel agencies selectively and in accordance with Aon’s supplier governance requirements when direct sourcing options have been appropriately explored.
• Support internal mobility, colleague referrals, recruitment marketing, employer-brand activity and relevant talent initiatives across Australia and the wider Pacific region.
• Contribute to continuous improvement, team capability, knowledge sharing and regional Talent Acquisition projects, including the adoption of inclusive and skills-based hiring practices.
• Build effective remote relationships and manage priorities across Australian time zones, aligning working patterns with stakeholder and candidate needs.
