This is an opportunity to operate at the intersection of talent strategy, technical recruiting, and market intelligence—driving hiring outcomes for mission-critical engineering programs.

Your role

• Talent Strategy: Develop and execute targeted recruiting strategies for aerospace and defence engineering roles (systems, avionics, mechanical, software, embedded, and manufacturing).
• Bilingual Candidate Engagement: Source, screen, and engage candidates in both French and English, providing a high-touch, consultative candidate experience.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Partner with hiring managers, program leads, and delivery teams to understand technical requirements, project timelines, and hiring priorities.
• Pipeline Development: Build and maintain strong talent pipelines using advanced sourcing techniques (Boolean, LinkedIn Recruiter, X-ray, niche engineering platforms).
• Market Intelligence: Provide insights on talent availability, compensation benchmarks, competitor hiring activity, and emerging skill sets within the Aerospace & defence sector.
• Full-Cycle Recruiting: Manage end-to-end recruitment, including intake, sourcing, screening, offer negotiation, and onboarding alignment.
• Process Excellence: Ensure compliance with hiring standards, documentation requirements, and DEI best practices while continuously improving recruiter efficiency and performance metrics.

Your skills and experience

• Experience: 5–8 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a strong focus on engineering roles.
• Industry Expertise: Proven experience recruiting within Aerospace, Défense, or highly regulated engineering environments.
• Language Skills: Fluent in French and English (written and spoken)—required for candidate and stakeholder interaction.
• Technical Acumen: Strong understanding of engineering disciplines such as systems engineering, avionics, embedded systems, mechanical design, or manufacturing engineering.
• Sourcing Expertise: Advanced sourcing capabilities (Boolean search, LinkedIn, competitor mapping, passive candidate engagement).
• Data-Driven Mindset: Ability to analyse recruiting metrics (pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-fill) and adjust strategies accordingly.
• Stakeholder Management: Strong communication skills with the ability to influence hiring decisions and advise business leaders.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting US or cross-border hiring (US/Canada)
• Familiarity with security clearance hiring or compliance-heavy environments
• Exposure to engineering services or consulting organizations
