Job description

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our dynamic Human Resources team. In this role, you will be a true partner to the business — owning the full-cycle recruitment process for critical roles across our global departments and Business Units, spanning Investment, Development, Fund Management, and Corporate functions.

More than a recruiter, you will serve as a brand ambassador for ESR, a strategic talent advisor to stakeholders, and a key driver in scaling our teams across the APAC region. Join a market‑leading, high‑growth firm at the center of the New Economy— logistics real estate, data centres, and energy infrastructure—within a truly multicultural and entrepreneurial environment.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Full‑Cycle Recruitment: Managing the end-to-end hiring process for a diverse portfolio of roles, including Investment & Asset Management, Fund Management, Development, Leasing, Data Center Operations, and Corporate functions (Finance, Legal, HR, etc.).
• Business Partnership: Acting as a trusted talent advisor to hiring managers and business leaders across our global platform. Conduct intake meetings, define role requirements, design effective interview plans, and provide market insights.
• Strategic Sourcing: Going beyond inbound applications to proactively source passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, industry mapping, Boolean searches, and your professional network.
• Candidate Experience: Championing a premium candidate journey by ensuring timely, transparent, and professional communication at every stage of the process.
• Data & Process: Meticulously maintaining our Workable Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and leveraging data to provide regular updates and identify areas for process improvement.
• Agency Management: Managing and optimizing relationships with external recruitment agencies and search partners when required, ensuring alignment with our hiring standards and commercial terms.

Requirements

• Core Requirements:
  • Experience: 3-6 years of progressive talent acquisition experience.
  • Proven Success: A track record of successfully filling a high volume of diverse roles, from Internships to Director levels.
  • Sourcing Expertise: Demonstrated mastery of sourcing passive candidates for niche and competitive roles using LinkedIn Recruiter and advanced search techniques.
  • Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build trust and credibility with senior hiring managers in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Mindset: A high‑performance, entrepreneurial mindset. You must be a proactive problem‑solver with a "roll‑up‑your‑sleeves" mentality.
• Preferred Qualifications:
  • Industry Focus: Agency and/or in‑house recruitment experience, ideally from real estate, real asset management, investment banking, or financial services.
  • Industry Acumen: A strong understanding of the real asset lifecycle (investment, development, management) and the specific talent profiles within it is highly desirable.
  • Regional Experience: Experience recruiting for roles across multiple APAC markets.
