- Serve as a data driven talent advisor to the leadership team with a strong ability to drive recruiting initiatives that match the pace of an expanding organization
- Build a strong operational foundation for the Recruiting function that includes the right systems that will drive meaningful recruiting analytics and insights. This will, in turn, help you and the team advise leadership on trustworthy forecasting, capacity planning and delivery expectations
- Bring up-to-date/competitive insights into guiding the leadership team on key investments and the right strategy to attract the best talent and how to stay differentiated from the competition
- Coach and develop direct reports and model best practices throughout all aspects of the recruiting process
- Help build a “Recruiting Culture and Engine” at Tomo by way of example as culture carrier
- Develop the “employer” brand through creative social, content and event programs
