Description

The company is hiring a Talent Acquisition Partner on a 6-month fixed-term contract, open to all genders.

You will own a varied, high-impact recruiting portfolio across several business areas, including marketing services, size and fit, and partner-facing teams.

The role works as a key partner to the business. It combines active sourcing, work with employer branding, and a strong focus on candidate experience, with decisions guided by data and hands-on effort.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full recruitment process for roles in both tech and non-tech areas, from the initial strategy briefing with stakeholders through screening interviews to complex offer negotiation and closing.
  • Source candidates directly, mainly on LinkedIn. Design outreach strategies across several channels, write persuasive messages, and build strong talent pipelines.
  • Work closely with existing recruiters and senior leaders in several business units to understand their needs and deliver hires.
  • Run full-cycle hiring for a wide range of roles at every level, from junior to head of function, across job families such as consulting, finance, HR, marketing, project management, category management, applied science, software engineering, data and product management.
  • Make sure every candidate interaction is positive and matches the company's employer brand, and look for ways to improve it further.

Requirements

  • Solid experience leading end-to-end hiring in tech, non-tech, or both.
  • Deep understanding of the talent market, including the scope and skills of many roles and current market trends, and the ability to use that to guide hiring and reach the right people.
  • Proven results in sourcing top talent through targeted outreach, especially on LinkedIn, rather than relying on inbound applications.
  • Experience building trusted, effective relationships with hiring managers, interviewers, HR business partners and cross-functional teams, keeping everyone aligned and informed.
  • Proactive and solutions-oriented, comfortable in fast-changing settings, with high professionalism and the initiative to act without being prompted.
  • A low-ego, team-first approach: you listen, adapt and work with stakeholders to build solutions and add value at each step.

Conditions

This is a 6-month fixed-term contract.

The work is hybrid.

Hiring is based only on qualifications and merit, with no discrimination on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief or disability status.

You receive 27 days of vacation per year to start.

Benefits

  • 40% off products sold and shipped by the company.
  • 2 paid volunteering days a year.
  • A one-time allowance to set up an ergonomic workstation outside the office.
  • Health and dental insurance, opt-in.
  • Pension trust fund, opt-in.
  • Life assurance and income protection.
  • Cycle to work scheme and tax-saver commuter tickets.
  • Employee share programme.
  • Family services, including counselling and support.
  • Health and wellbeing options, including Gympass.
  • Mental health support and coaching.
  • Professional development through a training platform and peer-to-peer reviews twice a year.
