• Stakeholder & candidate partnership - Be a trusted advisor to business leaders while giving candidates a respectful and transparent experience throughout.
• Leadership & coaching - Provide day-to-day support and coaching to a TA associate, building capability while working closely together.
• Data & reporting - Own the numbers. Track, report, and use data to influence decisions and keep improving how we hire.

• Curiosity & adaptability - you're always learning about new markets, talent pools, and ways to source
