    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Talent Marketing sits within Talent Acquisition in HR. I work with internal and external clients within an EMEA team, running campaigns to increase brand awareness, attract top talent, and deliver the best candidate experience. I deliver social media campaigns, host events, and create digital assets. I am the lead contact for 8 external suppliers to promote the IBM brand to UK Early Professionals and have interviewed IBMers globally to craft sell messaging for roles ranging from EPH to Execs.

I've learnt how to use various other tools such as an virtual events platform called Brazen and job posting platforms. I've been able to develop my communication skills a lot and gained a lot of confidence in my ideas
