Managing a team of 20 positioned across the UK, USA & EMEA, responsible for managing stakeholder and candidate relationships to ensure all open roles are filled with the right talent. Partnered with other areas of the business including Org Development, Marketing and Employer Branding on additional projects such as the reformatting of the recruitment process and restructuring of the hiring steps, improved content communicated to candidates, created content on the Klarna careers page and built and delivered a LinkedIn workshop to TA members and senior stakeholders on the importance of personal branding and engagement on the platform to increase brand and vacancy visibility.

✔ Redefined the shortlisting and hiring process by having all members of the business function where the vacancy was to view applications and interview potential employees.
