You'll focus on helping the local offices in driving the Firm's people strategy, creating a unique people experience for each individual, and supporting our Firm wide values by working with the core competencies that measure and drive individual and Firm wide success in the marketplace.

It takes talented people to support the largest professional services organisation in the world. Our Recruiting team works to identify and attract talent for PwC.

As an Experienced Talent Acquisition Senior Associate (Bilingual FR/EN), unlock your potential and embrace the chance to drive meaningful outcomes that'll elevate your career. Your role will include, but isn't limited to:

  • Identify, engage, and attract mid to senior-level, passive technical talent across financial services, private equity and consulting industries using targeted sourcing and direct outreach strategies


  • Proactively build and maintain diverse, future-ready talent pipelines for corporate finance, financial modelling, valuations and other key areas under Deals through creative sourcing, market mapping, and relationship-driven engagement


  • Conducting thoughtful recruiter screens and exploratory conversations to understand candidates' technical capabilities, career motivations, and growth aspirations using behavioral and skills-based interviewing techniques


  • Deliver a high-quality, inclusive candidate experience from first contact through offer, acting as a trusted point of connection and advocate for both the candidate and the business


  • Partner closely with Talent Acquisition and hiring managers during intake and sourcing strategy discussions to clarify role requirements, success criteria, and hiring priorities


  • Share relevant market insights with all stakeholders, including talent availability, emerging skill trends, and competitive hiring dynamics, to support informed decision-making


  • Collaborate with internal partners to understand business goals, workforce priorities, and regional hiring needs, contributing thoughtful input to hiring strategies


  • Maintain visibility into sourcing activity and pipeline progress, using insights to continuously improve how we approach and support skills-based hiring


What You'll Bring
Your skills, knowledge, and experiences are what set you apart. Here's what we look for:

  • Demonstrated success identifying and attracting passive, senior-level talent in in-house, executive search, or agency environments, with a strong focus on complex and hard-to-fill roles


  • Proven experience sourcing niche talent in highly competitive markets, including creatively building diverse pipelines within professional services or similarly complex organizations


  • Strong headhunting and networking background, leveraging direct outreach, referrals, and social platforms as core recruitment tools


  • Hands-on experience with Workday, Phenom and the Microsoft ecosystem in data-driven environments requiring strong process discipline and confidentiality, paired with the technical aptitude and eagerness to adopt emerging capabilities such as automation, analytics, and AI


  • Solid understanding of national and local talent markets, with the ability to stay current on skill trends and shifting candidate dynamics


  • Strong competency- and skills-based interviewing capability, able to assess technical depth, motivation, and role fit with confidence


  • Confidence partnering with Talent Acquisition, hiring managers and candidates through data-backed recommendations, clear communication, and thoughtful negotiation


  • Agile, customer-focused professional comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, balancing multiple priorities while engaging effectively with up to senior leadership
