-   Experience working in fast-paced, high-volume recruitment environments (e.g., BPO, shared services, agency, or scaling/fast-growing organizations)
-   Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, unstructured, or evolving environments, with minimal supervision and limited process guardrails
-   Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently manage workload, prioritize effectively, and consistently deliver hiring outcomes
