• Enablement & Capability Building – create “hidden‑gem” sourcing playbooks for non‑traditional talent pools; coach sourcing associates & recruiters on modern techniques, outreach messaging & channel optimization; develop toolkits, training & templates to standardize excellence across sourcing hubs; align sourcing priorities with demand forecasts via Workforce Fulfilment & Talent Intelligence.

• Employer Value Proposition & Candidate Engagement – shape differentiated EVP narratives tailored to critical skill groups & geographies; partner with Brand & Marketing to test & refine messaging across channels; design nurture campaigns that convert passive talent into active leads through consistent engagement.

• Measurement & Continuous Improvement – define sourcing KPIs (conversion rates, time‑to‑pipeline, engagement metrics, source‑of‑hire quality); use AI‑enabled insights & automation to improve efficiency & targeting precision; create internal mobility opportunity maps; monitor pipeline health metrics (conversion rates by source, company, skills); track ROI of channels & campaigns for investment decisions.

• Predictive Analytics – produce Competitor Intelligence Briefs (business growth, market expansion, layoff, EVP propositions); build Policy Impact Modelling (visa/immigration, government investments); develop Attrition Risk Modelling (promotion velocity benchmarks by region); create Skills Velocity Modelling (how fast skills lose market value & acquisition speed).

• Customers / Stakeholders – collaborate with Employer Branding & Experience Team to align attraction messaging with persona insights & market trends; manage candidate pipeline events; integrate sourcing & market intelligence into long‑term capability & location planning.

• Enterprise Talent & Enterprise Learning – apply sourcing strategy playbooks & insights to influence workforce fulfilment strategies, increasing speed & relevance; combine strategic sourcing design, talent analytics, capability building & measurement to optimize talent acquisition, engagement & workforce planning.

What you'll need:
