Talent Acquisition Specialist

About the role

The Talent Acquisition Specialist owns the end-to-end journey from the workforce and capability requirements set by the business through to the external talent market. The role delivers strategic, high-quality hiring with a strong emphasis on direct search, critical and experienced hires, and proactive talent mapping, while building sustainable early-career pipelines and a compelling candidate experience. The role also partners with People Experience to strengthen the company's employer brand.

Key responsibilities

• Strategic Talent Acquisition: Partner with hiring managers to sharpen role requirements, close talent gaps, and shape targeted recruitment strategies, translating the workforce and capability requirements set by the business into clear hiring plans.
• Critical & Experienced Hiring: Own the end-to-end recruitment process — from job requisition and sourcing through interviews and offer — for positions across the organisation, including critical and experienced roles, keeping records organised at every step.
• Talent Mapping & Proactive Sourcing: Source and engage top talent through job boards, social media, professional networks, and direct search, mapping the talent market and building talent pipelines before vacancies open.
• MT Program, Internship Program & University Partnership: Run recruitment for the Management Trainee and Internship Programs, and build partnerships with target universities through career fairs, campus events, and talks.
• Selection & Assessment: Screen applications and conduct structured phone and video interviews, applying consistent, competency-based assessment to every role.
• Candidate Experience: Give every candidate a fair, fast, and professional experience, then support onboarding and stay close to new hires through their first months.
• Recruitment Analytics: Track and report key recruitment metrics — time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, and quality of hire — and use the data to keep improving how we hire, while keeping up with recruitment trends and Thai employment legislation.
• Employer Branding (with People Experience): Grow SAPPE's employer brand across social media and digital platforms, turning our culture into content that attracts great people.
