• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks, competing deadlines, and a wide range of stakeholders simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

• A confident and credible communicator who is equally comfortable engaging with candidates, hiring managers, and senior business leaders on a daily basis

• High level of accuracy and attention to detail, particularly when handling contracts, candidate data, and compliance-sensitive documentation

• Experience using applicant tracking systems (ATS) and recruitment tools

• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) or equivalent

• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
