Recruiting Business Partner (RBP)

The Recruiting Business Partner (RBP) is a strategic talent advisor responsible for aligning business-level workforce needs with scalable talent acquisition strategy and delivery. The RBP partners closely with VPs, business leaders, hiring managers, Human Resources, Finance, and Talent Acquisition (TA) leadership to translate workforce plans into clear hiring priorities, capacity requirements, and operating mechanisms. This role owns the health and effectiveness of the talent partnership for an assigned business vertical, including hiring-plan attainment, demand planning, stakeholder alignment, delivery‑risk management, and escalation resolution.
