    • Support delivery of roles within tight turnaround timelines.

    Performance & Reporting
    • Meet weekly and monthly recruitment targets.
    • Track sourcing metrics, shortlist ratios, and placement outcomes.
    • Maintain accurate ATS records and recruitment documentation.

    • Strong communication and relationship management skills.

    Personal Attributes
    • Highly target-oriented and performance-driven.
    • Resilient and able to handle high-volume recruitment.
    • Self-motivated and proactive.
    • High integrity and professionalism.
    • Strong organizational and time management skills.
