What you'll be doing

Talent Acquisition delivers best-in-class experiences that help position CIBC as a destination of choice for top talent, including candidates from co-op, undergraduate, and post-graduate programs. As a Sourcing Partner, you'll proactively source, identify, and assess high-caliber external talent, helping us attract strong talent and leaders who can deliver exceptional client and employee experiences. You'll support the Personal and Business Banking group by developing strategic talent attraction strategies, building sourcing plans, and recruiting high-quality candidates aligned to business plans and goals. In this role, you'll combine market insight, relationship building, and sourcing expertise to strengthen talent pipelines and support hiring outcomes across your portfolio.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You'll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you'll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.

How you'll succeed

  • Strategic sourcing - Develop and implement strategic sourcing plans using social media, applicant tracking systems, assessments, industry events, and modern marketing campaigns. Build talent pipelines for your assigned portfolio by identifying effective sourcing channels, engaging your network, and proactively reaching passive candidates in the market.
  • Market insight - Stay current on labour market trends, competitor activity, and emerging sourcing strategies, techniques, and technologies. Use these insights to provide recommendations that improve hiring outcomes and help business partners make informed talent decisions.
  • Relationship management - Build and maintain strong relationships with leaders, internal partners, and candidates as a trusted talent advisor. Deliver a best-in-class candidate experience through timely communication, thoughtful pipeline management, and consultative support on Talent Acquisition processes and outcomes.
  • Project delivery - Support key recruitment initiatives, including pipeline building for business growth, vendor coordination, onboarding support, and background check processes. Contribute to broader Talent Acquisition projects and provide support across sourcing teams as business needs evolve.
  • Inclusive talent practices - Champion diversity initiatives aligned to business priorities and partner with the Diversity & Inclusion team to support inclusive hiring goals. Apply diverse interviewing and assessment techniques to help validate candidate experience and broaden talent pools.


Who you are

  • You're passionate about people. You build strong relationships and meaningful networks because you know they're essential to successful sourcing and hiring outcomes. You influence through credibility, collaboration, and authentic connection.
  • You love to learn. You're curious by nature and continuously refine your sourcing strategies to stay ahead in a competitive talent market. You enjoy exploring new approaches to identify and engage hard-to-find talent.
  • You can demonstrate experience in talent sourcing, Boolean search techniques, social sourcing, applicant tracking systems, and candidate management systems. It's an asset if you have experience supporting high-volume or niche hiring within financial services or a complex enterprise environment.
  • You act like an owner. You bring a strong sense of urgency, manage competing priorities effectively, and focus on delivering results that improve hiring efficiency and reduce reliance on third-party agencies.
  • You know that details matter. You bring strong time-management and organizational skills, and you communicate opportunities to candidates in a compelling, professional, and thoughtful way.
  • Values matter to you. You bring your real self to work, and you live our values - trust, teamwork, and accountability.
