Are you a people person with a knack for conversations? Do you have a 6th sense for determining another person's best qualities? Does your BFF turn to you when someone swipes right on their dating profile and needs you to find out everything there is to know about that person? You might be a RECRUITER in the making.

Our approach to talent acquisition brings a mindset and a toolset which is more akin to how a consumer goods company markets to customers and prospects. We are looking to target the best Future Talent for our business and want them to see the impeccable value in a career at GroupM.
