Take the lead in the timely and efficient scheduling of candidate/client meetings, ensuring that all parties are kept informed, and all details are confirmed and communicated.

Advocate high-quality work by ensuring that client deliverables are thoroughly reviewed and edited. Embrace and actively participate in training opportunities and proactively seek guidance and coaching from peers or corporate trainers to augment or improve skills. Proactively share best practices with the search team by communicating the benefits of improved efficiencies. This could be in the form of informal, on-the-job opportunities or in formal, structured learning opportunities with colleagues.

  • Very strong organization and prioritization abilities.
