• A proven ability to attract, engage and convert passive talent, including proactive sourcing of scarce skillsets in highly competitive candidate markets. 

• Demonstrated stakeholder partnering and influencing skills, with confidence advising and coaching hiring managers on effective and inclusive recruitment practices. 

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a busy and evolving portfolio while maintaining quality, attention to detail and a positive candidate experience.
