• Strong ability to partner with and influence senior stakeholders.
• Experience leveraging data and metrics to drive sourcing strategies and hiring outcomes.
• Demonstrated creativity in talent identification and non-traditional sourcing approaches.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to design and implement strategic solutions.
