About The Position
GHD has an exciting opportunity for a Talent Acquisition Business Partner based in our Vancouver or Calgary offices. In this role, you will lead recruitment delivery across an assigned portfolio of roles and partner closely with hiring managers to shape effective hiring approaches, clarify talent needs, and support confident hiring decisions.
