Identification and attraction caret-down

Following the briefing meeting, we implement a comprehensive search strategy to identify talent with the requisite experience and skills. This strategy includes talent-mapping relevant institutions and involves extensive networking and engagement across the Higher Education sector and other relevant sectors.
