Passionate Recruiter with a Heart in Healthcare | Top 25% of LinkedIn recruiters About Us

Woodlands Health is a next-generation healthcare system in Singapore, designed from the ground-up to meet the future of care. As a new integrated acute and community hospital with specialist outpatient clinics and innovative care models, we go beyond traditional hospital walls to deliver person-centred, connected, and seamless care. Our mission is to redefine healthcare for a rapidly aging and diverse population, through digital innovation, preventive health, and strong partnerships with the community. With a deep commitment to team-based care, sustainability and health equity, Woodlands Health is not just about treating illness – we are building a healthier future for all.

Why This Role Matters

We are seeking a bold, forward-thinking Talent Acquisition Lead to reimagine how we attract, engage and hire talent in a healthcare system undergoing massive transformation. This is not a traditional recruitment leadership role – it is a strategic opportunity for someone who is ready to challenge status-quo, disrupt legacy hiring models, and reimagine how top talent is engaged in a mission-driven, high-impact environment. We're looking for a game-changer – a Talent Acquisition Lead who redefines how healthcare organisations build the workforce of the future.

As healthcare evolves, so must the way we recruit. You don't need a healthcare background – just a proven ability to lead change, bring fresh thinking, and deliver results in fast-paced, complex industries. We're looking for someone who thrives on innovation, builds high-performing teams, and doesn't wait for permission to drive progress.

This is a unique opportunity to lead with purpose, disrupt with intention, and shape the workforce that will deliver Singapore's healthcare of tomorrow.

What You Will Drive Lead the Reinvention of Healthcare Hiring

• Design and implement bold, scalable strategies to attract and hire top talent – clinical and non-clinical – in a highly competitive landscape.
• Bring a fresh perspective to the unique challenges of healthcare recruitment without being bound by "how it's always been done."
• Build and optimize a modern TA function rooted in agility, candidate experience, and data-driven decision making.
• Disrupt traditional sourcing channels by introducing innovative, data-driven, and tech-enabled approaches to attract top-tier talent—locally and globally.

Inspire and Lead a High-Impact Team

• Build, coach, and empower a recruitment team that thrives on experimentation, continuous improvement, and measurable outcomes.
• Foster a culture of curiosity, ownership, and innovation.

Partner to Drive Change

• Act as strategic advisor to hiring managers and leaders, challenging assumptions and co-creating talent solutions
• Serve as a trusted thought partner who brings external best practices and isn't afraid to say there's a better way.

Deliver an Exceptional Candidate Experience

• Redesign the candidate journey to be fast, transparent, inclusive, and aligned with our mission and values.

Build a Compelling Employer Brand

• Collaborate with branding and communications teams to position us as a credible and attractive employer of choice through storytelling, digital campaigns, and targeted outreach.
• Elevate employer brand presence across digital platforms, communities, and professional networks.

Operational Excellence with a Modern Mindset

• Leverage technology, sourcing strategies, and metrics to build efficiency and scale.
• Introduce technologies and approaches (eg. AI, automation) that modernise the recruitment process.

Champion Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

• Build inclusive pipelines that reflect the diverse communities we serve.
• Embed equitable practices in every stage of the hiring process – from sourcing to selection.

What You Bring

• 12+ years of progressive talent acquisition experience.
• Leading teams in dynamic, high-growth, or change-driven environments is advantageous but not necessary.
• Track record of driving transformation in recruiting – redesigning systems, workflows, and strategies to improve outcomes.
• Bold thinker with the ability to influence senior leaders and challenge legacy mindsets with diplomacy and confidence.
• Analytical mindset – comfortable with metrics, KPIs, and using data to iterate and improve.
• Strong storytelling and branding instincts – can position an employer brand to attract mission-aligned talent.
• Passion for building teams that make a meaningful impact — healthcare experience is not required, but a desire to improve lives through people is essential.
• Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to translate vision into execution.

Why This Role?

• You'll have the freedom to innovate in an industry that needs change.
• Your work will directly impact how care is delivered to communities.
• You'll join a leadership team that values courage, experimentation, and people-first thinking.
