  7. Embed EDI principles in all attraction and selection methodologies.
  8. Lead and manage comprehensive recruitment campaigns, utilizing innovative and traditional marketing channels, while measuring campaign success based on candidate quality.
  9. Oversee all facets of the recruitment process, including application management, screening, offer negotiations, and ensuring a positive candidate experience.
  10. Design and manage various assessment and selection activities, advising hiring managers on best practices to ensure candidates meet role specifications.
  11. Monitor competitor talent activities and provide insights to differentiate AQA in the marketplace, along with recommendations to enhance the resourcing strategy.
  12. Utilize data and insights to evaluate the effectiveness of recruitment efforts and make evidence-based improvements to the recruitment service.
