What does a day as a talent operations manager look like?
I spend at least the first hour of my day putting out any fires if I need to. I've always planned my day out that way.
Then, I'll typically write a to-do list of any tasks that need to be finished and prioritize it. It is a lot of strategy.
I go through a lot of different reports, making sure that we're on the right track and that all of our candidates are being touched in a timely manner. I do a lot of assistance for the current talent specialists, ensuring they have any support they need with our onboarding process.
So, I do a lot of emails most of the day, a lot of meetings, and a lot of emails.
