Core Responsibilities :

Talent Sourcing and Pipeline Development : Proactively identifying, engaging, and cultivating relationships with qualified candidates across multiple channels including job boards, social networks, professional associations, and personal networks. This involves maintaining an active pipeline of candidates even when specific roles aren't immediately available.

Candidate Screening and Assessment : Conducting thorough interviews and evaluations to ensure candidates meet requirements outlined by enterprise customers. This includes verifying credentials, assessing soft skills, and providing detailed candidate profiles to clients with honest assessments of strengths and potential concerns.

Enterprise Customer Relationship Management : Building and maintaining strong partnerships with enterprise customers through regular communication, understanding their business needs.

Time Allocation and Scheduling : Balancing time between active recruiting (sourcing and screening), enterprise customer management, and candidate relationship maintenance. This often means dedicating specific time blocks to different activities while remaining flexible for urgent enterprise customer or candidate needs.

Deadline and Timeline Coordination : Managing competing deadlines when multiple enterprise customers have urgent needs across different time zones and availability constraints, and ensuring no opportunities fall through cracks due to poor follow-up timing.

Driven To Succeed : Proven track record of achieving results targeting high performance in ambiguous environments.

Exceptional Communication : Strong verbal and written skills with an ability to take a persuasive, people-centered approach. Ability to adapt your style and approach to your audience.
