"As a Recruiter, I am mindful of assuming the role of strategic partner and coach as I forge strong relationships with my co-workers and leaders across departments. I currently achieve this by first ensuring a full understanding of each departments' hiring needs and expectations. I spend time listening to each department leader's needs while learning the culture of their existing team. Then, I create a customized search strategy based on that information. Using this approach, I build the trust required to push back if a leaders' candidate expectations fail to align with the competitive market. I also act as a partner by respecting all candidates I have a touchpoint with. This approach ensures that I model professionalism on behalf of every department. I remain educated on the news and concerning topics, such as discrimination, to remain seen as a trusted and knowledgeable consultant. When I join Netflix as a Recruiter, I will quickly become a trusted partner to my new colleagues and leaders. I will continue to educate myself on the hiring market, specifically within this industry, allowing me to make recommendations based on a 360 view of the market and competitive landscape. This approach will help us make well-educated and data-focused decisions that boost Netflix's recruitment practices and influence sound hiring decisions."
