Talent Strategist Jobs

About The Role

Adecco is hiring a Talent Strategist for one of our local branches. With a focus on creating an exceptional customer and candidate experience, you will maximize the sales and growth of Adecco’s solutions through prioritized sales, customer service and recruitment activities. You get the best of both worlds in this role; the thrill of the hunt for both customers and candidates and the satisfaction of providing associates with continued employment while providing clients with skilled candidates that are well-matched to their unique hiring needs. Can you offer exceptional customer service to clients, candidates, and associates while promoting the Adecco brand and company culture? Are you a dynamic self-starter that thrives in a fast-paced environment? We are looking for someone that can sell new business and expand business with existing clients by increasing wallet share, reducing associate attrition, and fostering associate re-employment.

Above all, we’re results oriented, always looking for opportunities to out-perform ourselves and collectively pushing the limits of what’s possible. This role requires drive and passion balanced with a strong desire to collaborate with a team. We take every opportunity to build up others, as well as ourselves. Hard work stands out at Adecco and you get out what you put into your career. If you are looking for an opportunity to step up and stand out, Adecco is with you all the way!

This is a hybrid role and requires 1-2 days per week at our office in Dartmouth, as well as conducting business in the Halifax region and working from home. Candidates must be able to commute to our local office for training and required ongoing weekly in-office tasks. Adecco believes in offering a mix of flexibility and training so you can work with autonomy making professional, informed decisions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join a global brand that is committed to making the future work for everyone. That includes unlocking the potential of our own colleagues by embracing diversity and inclusiveness and offering rewards, recognition and advancement for hard work. It’s more than being accepted, it’s knowing you’re respected.

Come join us and be part of turning disruption into direction and evolution into advantage.
