​The Talent Management Unit is made up of three sub-units:
Human Resources Sub-Unit (HR)
The Human Resources (HR) sub-unit receives volunteering applications and manages the database of candidates' profiles. It also works in cooperation with all of EMA's Units to provide them with suitable volunteer candidates whenever volunteering selection processes take place. This is done based on the candidates' preferences, their profiles, and the selection processes' requirements during different selection processes that occur throughout the year, EMA draws candidates from its unified database through the work of the HR sub-unit.
HR is also responsible for providing different support to volunteers after their hiring within EMA, like experience certificates and recommendation letters helpful in the future career prospects of the volunteers. EMA Units' Team Leaders can request such documents for their volunteers by filling out the specific request form.

The HR Coordinator leads the HR sub-unit. The current HR Coordinator is Misheck Samakao, who can be reached at hr.coordination@em-a.eu.
