• Lead offers and onboarding handovers 
  Once the right candidate is identified, you lead offer discussions and support a smooth transition into onboarding in collaboration with other HR teams and hiring managers. 
• Think beyond day-to-day recruitment 
  You contribute to broader Talent Acquisition initiatives such as diversity & inclusion, employer branding (including academic and research talent attraction), and continuously improving recruitment tools, processes, and systems.
