YOUR POSITION WITH TNC
The Talent Research Assistant plays an important role in providing support to the internal Executive Search Team as it identifies a wide diversity of top candidates and moves to the final interview and offer stages of the executive search process. The Research Assistant provides administrative and tracking support while helping to implement targeted diversity sourcing initiatives, leveraging organizational and social networking sites, and using other recruitment tools and techniques to find passive and diverse talent for senior level positions. This individual is an integral part of the People Team’s Executive Search Team function and is instrumental in helping to support the team’s efforts in developing a pipeline of qualified individuals for the future and in providing diverse candidate pools to fill current vacancies.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
The Talent Research Assistant will join internal “kick-off” and debrief calls with hiring managers and the Executive Search Team, organizes the interview logistics process, assists in daily recruiting project management, develops the internal Executive Search Team intranet page, and monitors new job requests as they are submitted. The Research Assistant uses creative sourcing techniques to identify a diversity of top talent for senior level jobs, difficult to fill and/or growth positions within the organization. The Research Assistant practices more than simple name generation, but rather develops and assesses potential applicants for adequate experience and qualifications, including analysis of nontraditional career paths and types of prior experience that meet our required qualifications (finding the needle in the haystack). The Research Assistant employs sourcing and data mining methods, including Boolean searches, a variety of search engines, internal sourcing, and external job board searches.
