Talent Acquisition & Employee Experience (f/m/d)

We're looking for someone to join us as maternity cover for 1 to 1.5 years — stepping into a role that shapes both how we bring great people in, and how we keep them engaged once they're here.

Are you passionate about building an outstanding candidate and employee experience — from the moment someone applies through every step of their journey with us? Do you want to be the trusted partner to candidates, employees, and leadership, while also helping drive forward key HR initiatives at SPS, where our speech recognition and voice productivity software supports legal and healthcare professionals worldwide?

Then we'd love to hear from you!
