- Support the development and continuous improvement of Uniting’s talent acquisition practices in line with organisational strategy.
- Produce monthly updates for leadership on talent acquisition metrics, initiatives and market insights.
- Seek and share market intelligence to strengthen attraction, assessment, and sourcing approaches.
- Train and support hiring managers throughout the recruitment process.
- Manage all recruitment administration, including ATS updates, job postings, weekly recruitment updates and onboarding activities.
- Identify emerging market trends and talent opportunities and communicate these to key stakeholders.
- Contribute to commercial strategy, continuous improvement, and regular business review sessions.
- Drive and maintain relationships with Agency panel members.
- Promote safe work practices and support an inclusive, welcoming workplace for colleagues of all backgrounds and identities.
