• Use recruiting metrics, KPIs, and market data to identify trends, measure effectiveness, strengthen decision-making, and continuously improve recruiting outcomes.
• Navigate evolving priorities with agility, helping leaders and teammates move confidently through change while championing scalable, forward-looking practices.
• Collaborate across Talent Acquisition and Human Resources on employer branding, employee referrals, talent initiatives, process improvements, and inclusive recruiting practices.
• Support recruiting needs associated with acquisitions, contracts, and local projects, adapting quickly to new business requirements and stakeholder groups.
• Ensure recruiting practices align with organizational policies and applicable employment laws, regulations, and compliance requirements.
• Step into new priorities as needed with flexibility, curiosity, and a team-first mindset.
