Recruiter - 58993

We are seeking a polished, proactive Senior Talent Advisor to support a high-performing Global Technology & Solutions portfolio within a major Canadian financial institution. Acting as a true strategic partner rather than a transactional recruiter, you will manage full-cycle recruitment for specialized and emerging technology roles—including AI platforms, data, infrastructure, engineering, architecture, and Agile-at-scale teams. Joining an Agile-focused team of 13, you will guide senior hiring leaders through complex talent markets, shape hiring strategies for newly adopted technologies, and contribute to continuous process improvement initiatives.

In this role, you will manage an average requisition load of approximately 20 open roles (fluctuating between 20–30 depending on business demand), primarily targeting senior-level talent such as Managers and Senior Managers. Because the organization is actively adopting cutting-edge technologies for the first time, many hiring managers will rely on your market intelligence and consultative expertise to define candidate profiles, calibrate expectations, and build sustainable talent pipelines. You will collaborate with an internal sourcing team while actively leveraging LinkedIn Recruiter and external market data to compete with top tech firms for niche, specialized skill sets.

Proactive Sourcing & Market Intelligence: Conduct market research and utilize tools like LinkedIn Recruiter and talent intelligence platforms to build diverse pipelines of active and passive candidates, particularly for niche roles where applicant volume is low.
Innovative Hiring Strategies: Design creative recruitment solutions for multi-headcount or emerging-skill needs (e.g., targeted competitor mapping, early-talent/university pipelines, or specialized hiring events).
Stakeholder & Candidate Experience: Deliver a seamless, high-touch experience for hiring managers and candidates while navigating complex enterprise compliance, risk management, and regulatory hiring protocols.
