Job description

ABOUT THE JOB

As TA & Search Partner, you will become part of our committed and dedicated People & Culture team, reporting to IMPACT’s P&C Manager. Together with the team, you will make sure we attract and hire the right people for our senior, specialist and critical roles. You will own the recruitment process from A to Z, from search and screening to signed offer. You initiate, steer, follow up and close - acting as a trusted partner to our Hiring Managers and HRBPs.

Your work calls for the persistence of a headhunter and the judgement of an advisor. You open doors to people who aren’t looking, read the market ahead of the curve and assess candidates with both rigour and intuition. You turn your insights into clear recommendations that decision-makers can act on, and you run every process with a structure and care that leaves candidates with a strong impression of IMPACT.

It is a hands-on role at the heart of Talent Acquisition. You do the search work yourself and lead from the front - setting each search in motion, keeping up the momentum and seeing it through to a successful hire.

In return, we offer a central role with exciting recruitments across commercial, digital, and technical domains in several Nordic markets. You will have the freedom to shape your own work, real room to grow professionally and ambitious, skilled colleagues to spar with. And because we take our work seriously, but not ourselves, you will also find an energetic, social workplace with great staff events and Friday bars.

YOUR PROFILE

You know senior recruitment inside out and understand what it takes to move people who are thriving where they are. Your network is something you invest in continuously - long before a role opens. You carry natural authority in high-stakes conversations and build lasting relationships with senior candidates and hiring managers, who value your candid advice. You are at your best with several searches running in parallel, prioritise with a clear head and keep the pace high without compromising on quality.

In the role, you will:

• Lead searches for senior and critical roles, including C- and Director-level, across commercial, digital and technical functions
• Build market maps, competitor benchmarks and talent pipelines, and stay up to date on Nordic talent movements in key industries
• Qualify candidates through structured interviews, assessments and personality profiles
• Advise hiring managers and HRBPs - challenging and aligning on profiles, success criteria, feedback and offers, and sharing market insights that help improve our recruitment process and employer branding
• Keep a firm grip on the administrative side of recruitment, ensuring documentation, candidate records and systems are up to date

Just as importantly, you help shape a fun and collaborative everyday culture at IMPACT and set a high standard for how we work together.

Finally, we imagine you have 5+ years of experience in executive search, headhunting or search-focused Talent Acquisition, with a strong track record of filling hard-to-hire and high-profile roles. Ideally, your experience spans multi-country searches as well as consulting and IT profiles.
