Talent Acquisition Specialist

Strand is the life sciences brand of Sisu Group, a Belgian group of specialised advisory and staffing companies. Our motto is simple: let’s share expertise. We speak the language of the experts we work with, and we connect them with leading organisations. As part of Sisu Group, you join a wider network of colleagues across life sciences, engineering and digital. Our culture is driven by ambition, collaboration and a real commitment to the development of both our clients and our people. As a talent acquisition specialist at Strand, you sit at the heart of our delivery engine. You source, attract and qualify the right candidates in life sciences (pharma and vaccines, biotech, medtech, clinical) to meet our clients’ consultant and permanent hiring needs. You work closely with business managers to build a consistent, high-quality pipeline and you help strengthen Strand’s reputation in the life sciences talent community. What you will do
• Talent sourcing and attraction: source and attract candidates, publish and promote job openings, support employer branding initiatives.
• Screening and qualification: qualify candidates, write clear and compelling candidate presentations, manage CV submissions.
• Process and collaboration: manage end-to-end recruitment processes in our ATS, keeping records accurate and up to date. Improve the candidate experience at every step of the recruitment journey.
