You are responsible for shaping Getinge's recruitment future by attracting and securing the best talent in the medical device industry. This includes crafting and implementing a comprehensive global talent acquisition strategy, fostering a culture of recruitment excellence and strategically partnering with business leaders and HR Business Partners to identify and attract top talent.
Your leadership and mentorship will be crucial in empowering your team of global recruiters to achieve exceptional results, while you drive continuous improvement by monitoring and refining processes to ensure the highest level of service delivery.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned manager with a proven track record in international talent acquisition.
