DePuy Synthes is recruiting for a(n) Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, located in Karnataka, Bangalore. 

The Senior Talent Acquisition Partner plays a critical role in attracting and hiring top talent to support DePuy Synthes’ business growth across the region. This role manages end‑to‑end recruitment activities, partners closely with hiring managers, and delivers a consistent, high‑quality candidate experience. The position offers exposure to diverse roles and stakeholders within a global MedTech organization and the opportunity to directly impact workforce capability and organizational success. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead end-to-end recruitment across a broad portfolio of roles.
• Partner closely with senior business and HR stakeholders, providing trusted advice on recruitment strategy, talent availability, market conditions and selection approaches. 
• Develop tailored sourcing and attraction strategies for complex and business-critical roles.     
• Build and actively manage talent pipelines to support current hiring requirements and future workforce needs.
• Use talent intelligence, recruiting data and market insights to identify challenges, influence decisions and recommend solutions.
• Take ownership of recruitment challenges, working autonomously to identify solutions and keep hiring moving.     
• Constructively challenge the status quo and bring new ideas that improve how we attract, engage and hire talent.
• Translate market dynamics, candidate insights and business needs into a clear talent story for hiring managers and HR partners.  
• Use recruitment technology, digital tools and AI-enabled solutions to work smarter, improve processes and enhance the hiring manager and candidate experience. 
• Deliver an engaging, inclusive and high-quality candidate experience throughout the recruitment journey.
• Collaborate across Talent Acquisition, HR and the broader business to solve problems, share talent insights and deliver against business priorities.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll be an experienced recruiter who is comfortable taking the lead, working with senior stakeholders and managing recruitment with a high degree of independence.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Experience in the healthcare sector, ideally within Medical Devices or Pharmaceuticals. 
• Strong experience managing end-to-end recruitment within a complex organisation, ideally across Commercial, Sales, Supply Chain and functional portfolios. 
• Experience managing senior and business-critical hiring, with the confidence to engage and advise senior leaders throughout the recruitment process. 
• Demonstrated experience partnering with senior stakeholders and the confidence to advise, influence and constructively challenge. 
• Strong sourcing capability and experience developing and managing proactive talent pipelines, rather than relying solely on active applicants. 
• A solutions-focused mindset with the ability to work through ambiguity, identify problems and take ownership of the solution. 
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to understand the broader business context behind a hiring need. 
• Confidence using recruitment data, market insights and talent intelligence to influence hiring strategies and decisions. 
• A curious and improvement-focused approach, with a natural desire to do things differently and bring new ideas to the team. 
• Strong capability with recruitment technology and digital tools, with an interest in using AI and emerging technology to improve how we work. 
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills. 
• The ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a strong candidate and hiring manager experience. 

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

• You won’t wait to be told what to do. You’ll be comfortable taking ownership, asking the right questions and working out the best way forward.
• You’ll build credibility with senior leaders, understand what is happening in the external talent market and be confident using that knowledge to challenge thinking and influence decisions.
• Most importantly, you’ll bring energy, curiosity and ideas to the team and genuinely look for ways to make our recruitment approach better.
