Senior Manager Talent Acquisition

About the Role

A private healthcare organization in Singapore is expanding rapidly with new facilities and growing clinical and corporate teams amid a persistent structural talent shortage. After two years of reactive recruitment, they seek a Senior Manager to transform the hiring approach into a strategic, systemized process. This role emphasizes the human, relationship-driven elements of talent acquisition that cannot be automated by AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee comprehensive talent acquisition activities for clinical and corporate roles, including strategy, pipeline development, and performance metrics.
• Develop and maintain robust talent pipelines for consistently difficult-to-fill positions such as nursing, allied health, and specialist clinical roles.
• Lead employer branding initiatives to position the healthcare group through compelling storytelling and culture rather than solely competitive compensation.
• Implement structured and humane hiring processes, enhancing interview skills among managers and ensuring candidate experiences that uphold the organization's reputation.
• Utilize talent acquisition technologies and AI screening tools judiciously—automating where beneficial and applying human judgment where necessary.
• Collaborate with HR leadership on workforce planning decisions regarding hiring needs, skill development, and resource allocation.

Candidate Profile

• 6 to 10 years of experience in talent acquisition.
• Proven track record recruiting in markets with talent shortages; healthcare experience is preferred but not mandatory.
• Proficiency in contemporary talent acquisition systems including ATS, sourcing platforms, and AI screening, along with a clear understanding of their capabilities and limits.
• Experience designing and executing employer branding campaigns with measurable pipeline results.
• Familiarity with Singapore hiring regulations, including MOM compliance, fair hiring practices, and knowledge of healthcare licensing is advantageous.
• A proactive learning attitude towards new technologies and a transparent communication style regarding knowledge gaps.
• Strong interpersonal skills to provide and accept constructive feedback effectively.
• Excellent stakeholder management abilities across diverse functions, ensuring key parties remain engaged and informed.
• Exceptional communication skills tailored for senior leadership engagements—clear, succinct, and credible representation in decision-making forums.

Culture Fit

• Belief in the evolving role of talent acquisition as a strategic advisory function.
• A commitment to tackling talent scarcity proactively rather than complaining about challenges.
• Focus on outcomes measured by critical role fulfillment and employee retention, not just requisition closures.

Compensation & Location

Salary ranges from SGD 7,000 to 8,500 monthly, complemented by performance bonuses. The role is hybrid-based in Singapore.
