[Hiring] Talent Acquisition Specialist @Avadian Credit Union

Role Description

Avadian Credit Union is looking for an ace talent recruiter to join our team. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you will support our day-to-day recruiting and help shape our talent acquisition strategy.

Avadian is seeking a proactive, assertive, strategic, and competitive person - primarily focused on solutions to drive outcomes through deductive and analytical problem-solving. Achieving and "winning" the day is critical while understanding the importance of relationships and connecting to people as an important secondary talent (empathetic and friendly, but not emotional and overly gregarious). A sense of urgency (liking to work under deadlines, enjoying multi-tasking, jumping from one key project to another) will be required, and if you have a bias toward action, great!

Creative and "grey, not always black and white" thinking will allow for unique "what if" scenarios when taking responsibility for the success of this endeavor. You will be responsible for critical systems and processes to drive repeatable and sustainable outcomes - either through your own ability or your ability to work with additional team members.

At the end of the day, this person will own the results and will be rewarded and compensated accordingly - the buck stops with you. This role will allow you to achieve your vision and supply plenty of entrepreneurial opportunities, and alignment between success for Avadian and your own achievements will be mutually beneficial.
