  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends, salary benchmarks, and sourcing best practices to attract the best candidates in the market.

  • Contribute to our diversity and inclusion efforts by identifying diverse talent and ensuring our hiring process is fair and unbiased.

  • Track and report on sourcing metrics, including pipeline development, candidate engagement, and conversion rates.
