REGIONAL TALENT ACQUISITION PARTNER – Asia & MENA

JOB SUMMARY:

The Regional Talent Acquisition Partner (TA) leads searches for open positions in assigned client groups, within MENA (Middle East and Northern Africa) and Asia, and possibly other Regions, as well as the US. We seek a creative partner to join our talent acquisition team. Someone who can manage shifting contexts in two regions, and complex job offers. Someone who wants to help people fleeing natural disasters and war.

Equally important, this person develops regional talent acquisition strategies, builds pools of talent for anticipated positions, and leads “greater good” projects to improve recruiting globally. This person will be a confident, knowledgeable and trusted partner who will be able to provide appropriate guidance to business partners and hiring managers.

Responsibilities:

Identify Talent

• Many candidates find us through our website and ads. When it comes to the best candidates, however, we often find them. That’s why we want a recruiter with sourcing savvy: the knowledge of where the best candidates work and the ability to find them. You will identify candidates through your networks, industry listservs, Boolean search strings, other NGOs, LinkedIn, Facebook, industry trade associations, international conferences and trainings, and places we haven’t even thought of.

Emphasize opportunity

• Great people come to CARE because of what we do and because of what they can do. That’s why we’re looking for: a recruiter who can sell opportunity. An analyst who can measure what matters. A leader who can manage a manager.

Assess Talent

• Knowing whether a candidate can do a job well is the hardest nut to crack in recruiting. At CARE, this means hiring people who can thrive in a team, do their jobs well, and do them with enthusiasm. To find these people, we want a recruiter who has creative ideas on how to assess candidates through case study assignments, presentations, questionnaires, and other creative job relevant auditions.

Guide managers and interviewers

• Good recruiters balance collaboration with results. We look to you to root out bias in interviews, advise hiring managers on the market for candidates, and to reinforce the role of hiring managers the recruitment, and decision-making process.

Get a ‘yes’ from top candidates

• A golden rule in recruiting is to never make an offer that won’t be accepted. That’s why great recruiters check in with candidates every step of the way—during the initial phone interview, after an interview with a hiring manager, and often in between. Knowing candidates’ doubts and what qualities and responsibilities they really want can help a recruiter negotiate a “yes.”
