At the City of Leduc, we believe that behind every thriving community service is a team of remarkable people—and finding those people is where our story begins. Our Employee Services department, specifically our Organization Development (OD) team, is on a mission to completely reimagine the talent experience. We aren't here to just process applications or check boxes; we are here to build authentic connections, elevate candidate journeys, and deliver hiring experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Are you passionate about connecting great people with the right opportunities? We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Consultant for a 2-year fixed term through September 29, 2028. You’ll be joining an agile, close-knit OD unit where your passion for recruitment is matched by a supportive manager and a collaborative team. If you are a high-energy recruiter who takes pride in finding the right person for the right seat, loves co-creating modern talent initiatives, and wants to make a genuine impact on our workforce, you’ll feel right at home here.

What is the Opportunity?

Reporting directly to the Manager, OD, the Talent Acquisition Consultant is the strategic face and voice of hiring at the City of Leduc. In this role, you will hold true ownership over full-cycle recruitment, comfortably navigating a portfolio of 10 to 15 active competitions while serving as a trusted advisor to hiring managers across every department.

This role blends the thrill of active talent hunting with the creativity of modernizing how we recruit. On any given day, you will sit down with department leaders to decode their team needs, craft engaging job stories, guide candidates empathetically through selection, and ensure their transition into our culture on day one is seamless.
