Talent Acquisition Specialist

About The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition Specialist to join One People Team (OPT).

This role goes beyond recruitment execution. You will work across multiple clients, roles, and industries, building strong pipelines, supporting hiring decisions, and developing a deeper understanding of what good hiring looks like in different business contexts.

While hiring will be your core focus, you will also gain exposure to broader HR work across talent, performance, and culture over time.

Why this Role Matters to Us

Hiring is one of the most critical levers for business growth.

At OPT, recruitment is not transactional. We partner closely with our clients to build strong, capable teams, and that requires strong sourcing capability, good judgment, and a clear understanding of business needs.

This role plays a key part in ensuring we consistently bring in the right talent, while maintaining a high standard of candidate and stakeholder experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Support end-to-end recruitment across multiple client roles
• Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn and other platforms (strong emphasis on passive sourcing)
• Build and maintain high-quality candidate pipelines across multiple roles
• Screen and assess candidates based on role requirements, team fit, and potential
• Manage candidate communication and interview coordination
• Work closely with multiple hiring managers to understand role needs and expectations
• Track hiring progress and ensure timely follow-through across all stages
• Maintain structured and accurate tracking of candidates and pipelines
• Support and gain exposure to broader HR initiatives (e.g. talent, performance, culture)

Key Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in recruitment or talent acquisition
• Proven ability or strong interest in proactive sourcing (not just managing inbound applicants)
• Comfortable supporting multiple clients and managing different stakeholders concurrently
• Able to operate in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities
• Experience with LinkedIn sourcing and familiarity with ATS tools is preferred
• Clear, confident, and professional communication skills
• Organized, responsive, and able to manage multiple priorities
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and care in your work

Expected Outcomes from this Role

• Build consistent, high-quality pipelines across multiple roles
• Strengthen passive candidate sourcing capability for client hiring needs
• Improve speed and efficiency of hiring processes
• Deliver a strong, thoughtful, and professional candidate experience
• Support hiring managers with clarity and confidence in hiring decisions
• Contribute to broader HR work beyond recruitment over time
• Demonstrate ownership, reliability, and high standards in delivery

P/S: This role suits someone who enjoys getting hands-on, figuring things out, and building strong hiring outcomes, not just following process.
