The main role of the JTR will be to search for TP’s on job boards, using research lists, GAP Talent’s existing database, referrals and any other ways possible.

The JTR is expected to demonstrate our values of Commitment, Ambition and Professionalism during every aspect of their role and in all dealings with the Talent Professionals and the GAP Talent colleagues and leadership team.
