# Talent Acquisition Speacialist

> Workana · Colombia (Remote) · Contract · Posted 2026-08-20

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Safeguard Global

## Description

We are looking for an experienced **Talent Acquisition Specialist** to lead recruitment delivery for a strategic RPO engagement supporting a global organization with operations in Colombia.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused recruiting role for someone who combines strong sourcing and recruitment execution with the maturity to work directly with demanding client stakeholders. You will act as a key recruitment partner for the project, owning searches from initial intake through candidate delivery and helping establish a successful long-term recruitment partnership.

While the initial engagement is structured as a **6-month fixed-term contract, there is a strong possibility of continuing beyond the initial term based on performance and the evolution of the partnership**. The Colombia project is expected to support approximately 20 hires and is intended to serve as the first stage of a potentially broader recruitment partnership across Latin America.

For a strong performer, this role has the potential to evolve from an initial project assignment into a **longer-term position supporting recruitment initiatives across the region**.

### What You'll Own

-   Lead end-to-end recruitment delivery for roles within the Colombia RPO project.
-   Partner directly with client stakeholders to understand hiring requirements, priorities, timelines, and candidate profiles.
-   Translate business requirements into effective sourcing and recruitment strategies.
-   Proactively source and engage qualified candidates through LinkedIn and other relevant channels.
-   Screen and assess candidates against both technical/functional requirements and organizational fit.
-   Present high-quality candidate shortlists with clear recommendations and supporting insights.
-   Manage candidates throughout the recruitment process, maintaining strong communication and candidate experience.
-   Coordinate interviews, feedback, and next steps while keeping processes moving at pace.
-   Provide market intelligence around talent availability, compensation, and hiring conditions in Colombia.
-   Manage stakeholder expectations and communicate clearly when market realities or recruitment data require adjustments to the original hiring strategy.
-   Maintain accurate recruitment data, pipelines, and progress reporting.
-   Operate with a strong sense of ownership over delivery, deadlines, and hiring outcomes.

## Requirements

-   Proven experience in **Talent Acquisition, Recruitment, or RPO environments**, ideally managing full-cycle recruitment.
-   Strong experience recruiting **specialist or hard-to-fill profiles**, such as technology, engineering, clinical, life sciences, or other specialized functions.
-   Experience working in a recruitment agency, RPO, or similarly delivery-driven environment is highly valued.
-   Strong understanding of the **Colombian talent market**, particularly Bogotá and other major talent hubs.
-   Demonstrated ability to manage multiple searches and priorities simultaneously.
-   Strong sourcing capabilities and confidence identifying talent beyond inbound applications.
-   Experience working directly with hiring managers or external clients and managing demanding stakeholders.
-   Ability to challenge requirements constructively, provide market insights, and operate as a recruitment partner rather than simply taking job orders.
-   Strong communication, organization, and follow-through.
-   Comfortable working independently in a remote environment with clear delivery expectations.
-   Professional English communication skills for collaboration with international stakeholders.

**Pharmaceutical industry experience is not required.** We are more interested in recruiters who have successfully worked with specialized talent pools and can quickly understand new industries and functions.

## Benefits

-   **Strong long-term potential:** Although the initial contract is for 6 months, successful performance could lead to continued collaboration as the recruitment partnership expands.
-   **Be part of an expanding LATAM initiative:** The Colombia engagement represents an initial phase, with the potential for broader recruitment activity across Latin America.
-   **Opportunity to grow your scope:** Strong delivery during the initial project could create opportunities to support additional markets, roles, and recruitment initiatives.
-   Work on a strategic international RPO engagement with significant visibility.
-   Take ownership of recruitment delivery rather than working in a sales-focused recruitment position.
-   Work **100% remotely from Colombia**.
-   Collaborate directly with international stakeholders.
