• Own pipelines, prioritisation, and time‑to‑hire
• Design and continuously improve:
  • Interview processes
  • Scorecards
  • Feedback loops
  • Hiring metrics (time‑to‑hire, pass‑through rates, source quality)

Source like an operator

• Proactively source high‑signal candidates (LinkedIn, referrals, outbound)
• Build and maintain long‑term talent pipelines
