## What We Are Looking For

We want someone who takes ownership of recruitment.

You should not wait for management to tell you what to do with every application.

You should be able to review a job description, understand the type of candidate required, search for candidates, screen them and present management with a strong shortlist.

A good candidate recommendation should explain:

**“I recommend interviewing this candidate because they meet the education requirement, have three years of relevant experience, have worked with the target population, and their availability matches the position.”**

We want **quality candidates, not simply a large number of resumes.**

## Requirements

* Previous recruitment or talent acquisition experience.
* Excellent written and spoken English.
* Strong interviewing and communication skills.
* Excellent online research skills.
* Experience reviewing resumes.
* Strong attention to detail.
* Excellent organizational and follow-up skills.

Experience recruiting for **Canadian, U.S., UK or Australian employers** is a strong advantage.

Experience recruiting healthcare, social-service, residential-care or community-service professionals is also an asset.

## Performance Expectations

The Recruiter will be expected to maintain an accurate recruitment pipeline showing:

* Interview outcome
* Reference-check status
