  • Ensure a seamless onboarding and offboarding experience for interns, co‑ops, and new grads.
  • Champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in all recruiting efforts.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration

  • Partner with hiring managers to understand talent needs and develop tailored recruitment strategies.
  • Train and support intern managers to deliver meaningful project experiences and mentorship.
  • Collaborate with global early‑career teams to share best practices and drive consistency.
  • Data & Insights

  • Use data to identify trends, measure program effectiveness, and inform decision‑making.
  • Prepare reports and presentations for leadership on program outcomes and ROI.
  • Branding & Engagement

  • Drive brand awareness through innovative campus campaigns and digital outreach.
  • Organize signature events that connect students with our mission, culture, and leaders.
  • Create compelling content for social media, job boards, and university platforms.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in university recruiting, talent acquisition, or program management.
  • Proven success managing large‑scale recruitment programs and events.
  • Strong relationship‑building and communication skills.
  • Experience with applicant tracking systems and recruiting tools.
  • Ability to travel across Canada for campus events (approx. 20–30%).
  • Preferred Skills

  • Bilingual (English / French) is a strong asset.
  • Familiarity with the Canadian post‑secondary education landscape.
