    • Candidate experience across the hiring journey
    • Adoption of digital tools and AI to modernise Talent Acquisition
  • Oversee agency strategy and optimise recruitment channels for impact.

 

  1. Leverage Data to Drive Impact

  • Lead cluster-level reporting and analytics, translating data into actionable insights.
  • Optimise hiring outcomes through strong budget management, performance tracking and continuous improvement.

 

  1. Lead & Influence
  • Lead, coach and inspire a team of recruiters across clinical domains.
  • Build strong partnerships with stakeholders across institutions to align priorities and deliver results.
  • Champion a culture of innovation, performance and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in hiring.
