Talent Acquisition Specialist

Talent Acquisition Specialist

Leads full-cycle recruitment across Levata Canada, with a primary focus on campus and early-career sales hiring and developing the next generation of sales talent.

Position Summary

The Talent Acquisition Specialist owns full-cycle recruitment for Levata Canada, with a primary and dedicated focus on campus and early-career sales hiring — including sales development reps, account executive associates, and new-grad sales trainees. This role builds relationships with universities and colleges, runs full-cycle recruitment for entry-level sales positions, and partners closely with Sales leadership to keep the early-career pipeline full, diverse, and ready to convert into future sales hires. Beyond the campus program, this role also recruits for other open roles across Levata's Canadian business — partnering with hiring managers across functions to source, screen, and close qualified candidates.

This is a 100% onsite position for our offices at: 25 Royal Crest Court, Suite 100, Markham, Ontario, L3R 9X4, Canada

Key Responsibilities

Campus & Early Career Recruitment

• Build and execute a campus recruitment strategy to attract early-career sales talent from Canadian universities and colleges.
• Develop and maintain relationships with career services offices, business and sales programs, and student sales organizations to build a sustained talent pipeline.
• Plan and represent Levata at career fairs, campus information sessions, case competitions, and collegiate sales competitions.
• Manage full-cycle recruitment for entry-level and early-career sales roles — sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer — from requisition to start date.

Sourcing & Pipeline Development

• Source candidates through university partnerships, LinkedIn, job boards, employee referrals, and sales-focused student organizations.
• Build and maintain a talent community/pipeline for future early-career sales openings, so roles fill quickly against a warm pool of candidates.
• Track and report on pipeline health — applicant flow, conversion, time-to-fill, and diversity of pipeline.

Candidate Experience & Assessment

• Screen, interview, and assess candidates for sales aptitude, communication skills, coachability, and cultural fit.
• Coordinate interview panels with sales hiring managers and coach them on structured interviewing and consistent evaluation.
• Deliver a high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through offer and onboarding handoff.

Employer Branding & Programs

• Represent and promote Levata's employer brand on campus and within early-career talent communities.
• Partner with Marketing and HR to develop recruitment materials, social content, and campus event collateral tailored to early-career sales audiences.
• Support the design and administration of internship and new-grad sales development programs.

Broader Canadian Recruitment

• Own full-cycle recruitment for other open roles across Levata's Canadian business, outside of the campus and early-career sales program.
• Partner with hiring managers across functions to define role requirements, build sourcing strategies, and manage requisitions from intake to offer.
• Balance recruiting capacity across the campus/early-career program and general Canadian hiring needs, flagging capacity constraints to the TA Manager as volume shifts.

Stakeholder Partnership & Reporting

• Partner with Sales and other hiring leaders to understand hiring needs, headcount planning, and role requirements.
• Maintain accurate requisition and candidate data in the ATS; provide regular pipeline and hiring reports to TA leadership and business stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2–4 years of full-cycle recruitment experience, ideally including campus/early-career or sales recruiting.
• Experience building and managing relationships with university career centers and student organizations.
• Comfortable recruiting across multiple functions and role types, not just sales, and re-prioritizing as hiring needs shift.
• Familiarity with sales roles and sales competencies preferred.
• Proficiency with an ATS (Jobvite preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter/LinkedIn Hiring Assistant.
• Comfortable presenting to groups and representing Levata at in-person campus events.
• Travel requirement 30% including campus engagement.
