Job description
As our recruiter, you will embody the first step in the recruitment process for our future talents! In this dynamic role, you will participate in the full-cycle recruitment process to unearth the best profiles to support our team. As a true ambassador for Optima Aero, you will maintain a strong market presence to conduct proactive headhunting. Leveraging your analytical mind to accurately target talent, you will also use your dynamic energy and persuasive "selling" skills to attract and engage candidates.
What You'll Do
In this role, you will be responsible for:

- Coordinating onboarding activities to ensure a structured welcoming experience for new hires and preparing support materials.
- Helping to structure our internal recruitment processes and optimize our tools, particularly the recruitment module of our new HR Information System (HRIS).
- Acting as a key collaborator during slower recruitment periods to support the team with daily administrative tasks and deploy various initiatives (health and wellness, employer branding, revamping onboarding materials, etc.).
What We're Looking For
To succeed in this role, you should have:
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field OR College Diploma (DEC) in Administration with equivalent relevant experience.
- 1 to 3 years of relevant experience, with a strong and proven passion for recruitment.
- Essential bilingualism (French and English, both spoken and written) to interact courteously and professionally with our candidates and partners.
- Proficiency in recruitment platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed, Isarta) and comfort with HR Information Systems (HRIS) and the MS Office suite.
- High adaptability, great autonomy, and a strong sense of initiative: you enjoy thriving in an SME environment where flexibility is key and where you can touch upon multiple aspects of human resources.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Group insurance
- Employer contribution to an RRSP
- 3 paid sick days per year
- Modern and collaborative work environment
- Active social committee and regular team events
- Opportunity to contribute to a sustainable and innovative mission
