Who You Are • An experienced in-house recruiter with strong sourcing expertise in competitive markets. Skilled across EMEA (global experience a plus) with the ability to flex into both strategic sourcing and end-to-end recruiting. • Confident using AI, data, and technology to build smarter sourcing and recruiting strategies. • Experienced in identifying and engaging AI and advanced tech talent in highly competitive markets. • A consultative partner, able to influence leaders with insights and recommendations. • Skilled in stakeholder management and adept at engaging world-class talent globally with influence and impact. • Collaborative and team-oriented, energized by connecting pipelines and knowledge across TA teams. • Passionate about building inclusive processes and delivering exceptional candidate experiences.
