Talent Acquisition Specialist – DHL – Brampton, Ontario

DHL Express, the #1 Express Delivery and Logistics Company in the world, is looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join their National Office team in Brampton, Ontario. This is a role for someone who doesn’t just recruit — they champion the candidate experience, drive process improvements, and embody the values of a globally respected brand.

Day to day, you’ll be partnering with hiring managers across the organization, sourcing top talent for supervisory, specialist, analyst, and advisor roles, and ensuring every stage of the recruitment cycle runs smoothly. From crafting creative sourcing strategies to presenting workshops for internal teams, this position blends recruitment expertise with project coordination and stakeholder management.

About the Role: Talent Acquisition Specialist

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist at DHL Express, you’ll own end-to-end recruitment — from sourcing passive candidates and screening applicants to coordinating interviews, extending offers, and supporting onboarding. You’ll maintain accurate records in the applicant tracking system (ATS), generate recruitment metrics reports, and proactively identify ways to improve workflows and automate manual processes.

Beyond filling roles, you’ll act as a true brand ambassador — attending job fairs and networking events, creating interview frameworks, and delivering internal training workshops. Compliance is equally important: you’ll ensure all recruitment activities align with Canadian labour laws, company security standards, and background check requirements.

Benefits and Salary

DHL Express offers competitive compensation packages along with a range of programs, services, and benefits designed to support both your professional growth and personal well-being. The company is committed to fostering a culture where every team member can make a meaningful impact.

Responsibilities

This role covers the full recruitment lifecycle, requiring you to juggle sourcing, screening, coordination, and reporting — all while delivering an outstanding experience to both candidates and hiring managers. Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset are essential to keeping things moving efficiently in a fast-paced logistics environment.

• Build and deliver excellence across all stages of the talent acquisition process including sourcing, employer branding, candidate engagement, screening, selection, and hiring
• Partner with hiring managers to develop a thorough understanding of position requirements and role expectations
• Proactively source passive candidates using creative techniques and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified talent
• Screen and evaluate resumes, conduct phone screens, administer assessments, and create tailored interview questions
• Coordinate interviews, collect interviewer feedback, and keep candidates informed throughout the process
• Manage offer preparation, salary benchmarking in line with company guidelines, and support smooth onboarding for new hires
• Maintain ATS records accurately and generate recruitment metrics reports to provide actionable insights
• Ensure compliance with labour laws, background check requirements (criminal, denied party vetting, employment verification), and company documentation standards
• Develop and present workshops for internal employees to enhance skills and knowledge
• Champion process improvements and automation initiatives to reduce manual tasks and improve recruitment efficiency
• Attend job fairs and networking events to build candidate pipelines and strengthen DHL’s employer brand
• Oversee the DHL in a Box program by managing inventory, scheduling assembly, and ensuring every new hire receives their welcome package

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings a blend of HR education and hands-on recruitment experience, paired with exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities without missing a beat. DHL values someone who is self-motivated, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about connecting people with the right opportunities.

• Post-secondary education in HR combined with a minimum of 1–2 years of experience in a related field
• Experience with an ATS (applicant tracking system) and proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills with the ability to interact comfortably across all job levels
