Tags: adidas, Global Talent Acquisition Center of Excellence, Recruitment Manager,recruiting top talenI joined the adidas Group as the Recruitment Manager for adidas UK, Ireland and Benelux regions back in October 2006. I now work in our Global headquarters in Germany as a Project Manager within our Global Talent Acquisition Center of Excellence. My position allows me the freedom to really shape the way our organization attracts and acquires talent. As someone who is passionate about the candidate journey and the way in which we select and evaluate new talents, I love that I can be creative and innovative to really drive excellence internally, whilst leading the charge outside of the business.The sheer nature of my position means that I interface with every area of the business, collecting feedback, ideas and sharing best practices globally. This in turn allows me to understand the struggles that we have in recruiting top talent, from which I can start to look at what the creative solution may be. In addition I get to experience projects that most recruiters can only dream of; managing photo shoots, developing online and mobile tools, internal recruitment, employee referrals, career site design and development – the variety is amazing.All that aside, I have to say the best thing is still seeing a candidate talk with passion about who we are and what we do, and then seeing them here working for us wearing three stripes!
