I managed early talent rotation program implementations in Commercial Bank, Finance and HR, and professional-level analysts (30 to 80 participants per program).

I set the strategy to drive the campus talent pipeline. I managed and administered a high volume of candidate applications through the full recruitment life cycle: sourcing, executing, selling and process adherence. I attracted high-calibre students from top-tier universities for full-time and internship opportunities by sponsoring events, attending career fairs and club meetings. I successfully prioritized and balanced sourcing, interview scheduling, event planning/execution and candidate management for five different job tracks across seven universities.

I partnered with five recruiters to manage logistics for all events and interviews, both on campus and onsite.

Owned registration and meeting planning end to end for quarterly conferences both domestically and internationally for 200-2k+ attendees.
