To cover for a long-term absence, we are looking for a Talent Acquisition Leader who will support a number of business units including Operations, IDT (Integrated Dental Technologies), and many of our Corporate Functions including HR and Finance. You would act as the guardian of the culture, diversity, skills, and capabilities of the people being brought into our Headquarters site in Basel and influence hiring globally across your business units.
You would consult directly with Executive Members of the Board supporting active hiring and pipelining for future capability needs, partnering closely with Global / Regional HR Leadership team members to define hiring needs and design proactive talent sourcing initiatives to meet business growth objectives. You will be hands-on in direct sourcing, conversion of prospects into Executive candidates, maintaining relationships through the recruitment process, assessing and interviewing candidates, and guiding the business to make the correct hiring decisions. You would work closely with our team of TA Partners in Madrid to support sourcing and candidate management, performing market intelligence and managing relationships with Executive Search Firms.
You will be an interim member of the Global “Join Leadership team” at a time when the Global Talent Acquisition organization is going through transformation. Investments are being made into a new global hiring model, new global hiring process, new social media strategy, CRM, and other new technologies. You would be a “flag bearer” of the transformation – involved in a range of projects, process mapping, model adoption, compliance, re-mapping roles and responsibilities, encouraging new TA service deliverables (pipelining, direct sourcing, employer branding), hiring manager training, brand ambassadorship, etc.
Joining in a time of transformation means that we are looking for someone with entrepreneurial spirit … someone who is comfortable with ambiguity and can sell ideas and seek investment into new concepts and ways of working. You should also be passionate about developing meaningful relationships, with internal business stakeholders understanding short- and long-term skills and capability needs, and with external candidates curious about a career with the Straumann Group.
The role is based in our Basel headquarters. The role requires being in the office for a minimum of 3 days a week to ensure strong collaboration and relationship management with our executive stakeholders.
