• Produce market intelligence reports including competitor analysis, talent availability, and salary trends to support hiring strategy.
• Manage the candidate experience through personalised and thoughtful communication. Maintain accurate candidate records and pipelines within our ATS and sourcing platforms. Support broader Talent Acquisition projects and initiatives to enhance sourcing capability and process efficiency.
