YOUR POSITION WITH TNC
The Talent Research Assistant plays an important role in providing support to the internal Executive Search Team as it identifies a wide diversity of top candidates and moves to the final interview and offer stages of the executive search process. The Research Assistant provides administrative and tracking support while helping to implement targeted diversity sourcing initiatives, leveraging organizational and social networking sites, and using other recruitment tools and techniques to find passive and diverse talent for senior level positions. This individual is an integral part of the People Team’s Executive Search Team function and is instrumental in helping to support the team’s efforts in developing a pipeline of qualified individuals for the future and in providing diverse candidate pools to fill current vacancies.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
The Talent Research Assistant will join internal “kick-off” and debrief calls with hiring managers and the Executive Search Team, organizes the interview logistics process, assists in daily recruiting project management, develops the internal Executive Search Team intranet page, and monitors new job requests as they are submitted. The Research Assistant uses creative sourcing techniques to identify a diversity of top talent for senior level jobs, difficult to fill and/or growth positions within the organization.

The Research Assistant employs sourcing and data mining methods, including Boolean searches, a variety of search engines, internal sourcing, and external job board searches. The Research Assistant also builds relationships with professional associations and universities, as well as uses social networking sites such as LinkedIn that allow individuals to post online professional resumes and profiles.
Duties include but are not limited to: writing, posting and advertising jobs; tracking costs; researching and sourcing prospective applicants and qualifying individuals for a wide range of executive-level positions; updating applicant records in PeopleSoft; corresponding with job applicants; providing logistical support for interviews and meetings; preparing correspondence and presentations; editing and formatting documents; preparing materials for conferences and update meetings with the hiring teams; developing content for, and improving and maintaining the internal Executive Search Team Intranet page; answering general job inquiries; and ensuring confidentiality with all HR-related matters.
