Form of workWho- the Company:
Our client has an over 40-year history of creating wildly successful products that are sold around the world. They have values that promote teamwork, trust, and sincerity. The company has over 2000 employees working in several countries and is continuing to grow! Multiple entities, diversified operations, very complex and interesting business.
What- the Role:
Our client is seeking a talent acquisition resource for their growing HR & TA team. The new Senior Corporate Recruiter will be responsible for recruiting on corporate searches, mainly for the Vancouver global headquarters. This Recruiter will support talent acquisition for all corporate departments (including accounting & finance, human resources, marketing & communications, operations, administration, etc.). The Sr. Recruiter will also recruit for non-HQ roles that are based elsewhere in Canada.
The Sr. Recruiter will report into the Director of Talent Acquisition and will be joining a TA team of 10 (working from 3 different countries, each with different functional & regional portfolios) and an overall HR team of ~60 people. Although primarily focused on Canadian recruitment, the new Sr Recruiter will occasionally support their colleagues in other countries, if the req loads in those regions are particularly high and the req load in Canada at that time is lower. On average, the Corporate Recruiter will be working on a req load of 10 to 15 distinct roles and will fill approximately 5 roles a month.
This is a full-cycle recruitment role, from initial intake meetings with hiring managers through to job description creation, job posting, talent mapping & market insights, sourcing & headhunting, screening & interviewing, salary negotiations, and offers & declines. There is a Recruitment Coordinator on the team who steps in at the onboarding stage of the new employee life cycle. The Sr. Corp. Recruiter will be responsible for providing an excellent candidate experience, with a high-touch, consultative, and professional approach- preparing candidates for interviews, keeping them informed of the process, and declining candidates in a kind and timely manner.
This is a great role for someone who enjoys variety in their recruitment portfolio and who is eager to work for a successful, busy, innovative, and high-growth company.
Who- the Candidate:
We are looking for a well-rounded Recruiter with at least 5 years’ and ideally ~8 years of progressive, full-cycle corporate recruitment experience. A blend of experience in both recruitment agency and in-house recruitment is ideal, but candidates with only one or the other will of course also be considered. The more variety in previous search portfolios, the better (i.e. corporate recruitment within accounting & finance, marketing & communications, human resources, administration, operations, sales, technology, etc.). We are looking for people who are passionate about candidate experience, who are consultative in their approach with hiring managers, and who genuinely enjoy networking and employment branding (in-person and virtual/online).
- Corporate Experience
- Experience recruiting for a fast-paced and complex business- perhaps in a sector such as technology, retail, or manufacturing.
- Experience working for a large company- at least 500 employees and preferably 1000 to 3000 employees.
- Experience working for a company with multinational operations is preferred, but not required.
- Excellent communication skills and relationship building abilities are crucial in this role.
- Self-motivated and creative with a sense of urgency and a team player approach.
This company provides a very generous total compensation package including a performance-based bonus, an RRSP match, a generous deferred profit-sharing program, and a customizable health/dental/vision benefits plan.
The base salary will be commensurate with experience- for now the range is likely $86,000 to $97,000, with the top end reserved for candidates with a relevant 8+ years of experience.
