Talent Specialist

About The Role

We are looking for a Talent Specialist who is passionate about people, talent, and culture.

This role matters because it helps 3cat build a stronger hiring engine, improve candidate experience, strengthen employer branding, and support employee engagement as the company grows.

The Talent Specialist will help ensure that hiring is proactive, structured, and aligned with the company’s culture, values, and business priorities.
