Why this role, why now

Founded in 2019, INNOOVA is a consulting firm specialized in human resources transformation and financial solutions.

INNOOVA is targeting 30% headcount growth by 2027, and this role is being created to build the sourcing engine that will support it. You will join a team of two, with direct mentoring from the Senior Advisor, Talent Acquisition and rare visibility for a junior role: exposure to the leads and the CEO, and a real path toward an advisory role in talent acquisition if the energy and judgment are there.
