What you'll do

In this role, you'll own end-to-end recruitment across multiple talent segments, partnering closely with Hiring Managers, HR Business Partners and Talent Acquisition colleagues to anticipate needs and build robust talent pipelines.

You'll lead full life cycle hiring, from first conversation through to offer, making sure every candidate enjoys a clear, respectful and timely experience.

Working with business leaders, HR, Talent Acquisition and key university and external partners, you'll turn workforce priorities into targeted Early Talent strategies and sustainable talent pipelines.

You'll develop and drive the annual Americas Early Talent recruitment plan, aligned to business demand, priority capabilities and key hiring locations. You'll guide attraction and engagement strategies, university partnerships, recruitment events and selection approaches, while championing consistency, collaboration and best practice across the region.

Using recruiting analytics, market intelligence and program insights, you'll measure pipeline strength, conversion, candidate experience and overall program effectiveness, then turn those insights into recommendations that sharpen the Early Talent strategy, lift recruitment outcomes and inform future investment and workforce planning decisions.

Above all, you'll champion innovation and continuous improvement in Early Talent recruitment, finding new ways to attract, engage, assess and convert emerging talent while building sustainable pipelines for the skills of tomorrow.

Ready to champion change and help redefine how we attract talent in a fast-moving, digital world? We'd love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
