• support employer branding activity and talent pooling for recurring roles;
• promote inclusive hiring practices;
• coordinate interviews and provide candidate feedback;
• collaborate with HR and onboarding teams;
• act as the point of contact on recruitment-related projects, leading small-scale projects where necessary.
