Resourcing Lead

Location : - Birmingham, Hybrid (International travel will be required)

Contract : - Permanent, Full Time

As Resourcing Lead for Mitie's Defence sector, you'll play a critical role in shaping and delivering resourcing solutions across some of the UK's most high-profile contracts. While you'll contribute to long-term planning and resourcing strategy, this role also requires a strong hands-on focus—providing direct support to the business through effective candidate delivery and mobilisation. From creating effective long term resourcing solutions, building up candidate attraction campaigns and navigating security clearance protocols, you'll ensure our resourcing approach is both future-focused and operationally responsive.

Job Overview

Acting as a trusted partner to operational and HR partners, you will lead workforce planning, anticipate demand, and ensure seamless talent delivery to support contract growth, mobilisation, and continuity. Working closely with the business area to forecast talent needs, address critical skills gaps, and align recruitment activity with evolving contract priorities. You'll act as a true strategic advisor, shaping hiring approaches that are agile, cost-effective, and tailored to our Defence sector's needs

Main Duties

This role demands the ability to balance proactive planning with responsive delivery. You'll take ownership of critical recruitment campaigns, ensuring that mobilisation plans, contract deadlines, and ongoing workforce continuity are met without compromising candidate experience or compliance. You'll also partner with vetting and compliance teams to oversee clearance pathways, mitigate delays, and provide regular reporting on risks and timelines.

Key Responsibilities Include

Using data, insight, and deep market expertise, you'll drive continuous improvement across sourcing, employer branding, and internal mobility. From enhancing attraction strategies in challenging locations to unlocking internal talent pipelines across Defence and Government contracts, your work will directly fuel Mitie's operational success and growth ambitions. With a clear vision and a wealth of exciting projects underway, you'll be part of a team that's focused, driven, and ready to make an impact.

What We Are Looking For

We're looking for a confident and capable resourcing professional who brings both strategic mindset and delivery focus. You should be experienced in operating within complex or regulated environments—ideally (but not essential) in the Defence, Government, or Security sectors—and able to manage both senior stakeholder expectations and fast-paced recruitment activity with ease.

Role

Success in this role comes down to your ability to influence others, see the bigger picture, and still roll up your sleeves to get things done when it counts. You'll be driven, collaborative, and genuinely invested in delivering excellent service to both candidates and the business :

Combine strategic insight with hands-on delivery in a fast-paced, operationally sensitive environment

Build credibility with senior stakeholders and act as a trusted advisor

Brings real creativity to the table, constantly challenging the status quo and designing innovative, direct delivery solutions that make a measurable difference.
