  • Knowledge of sourcing strategies, recruitment tools, and applicant tracking systems.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and organisational skills.
  • Data-driven mindset with the ability to interpret recruitment metrics and make recommendations.
  • A collaborative and proactive approach with a passion for people and culture.
