You'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing and headhunting through to interviews, offers and onboarding, playing a key role in shaping the future of Fawkes & Reece.

Owning the recruitment process: Managing vacancies from initial briefing through to successful placement and onboarding.

Building relationships: Partnering with hiring managers and Directors to understand business needs and hiring priorities.

Driving results: Working towards clear KPIs and targets, balancing quality, pace and successful hires.

Selling the opportunity: Bringing our culture, career progression and brand to life to attract the right people.

Building talent pipelines: Developing networks to support our continued expansion.

Making an impact: Sharing market insight, improving recruitment processes and helping shape our Talent function.

Ideally, you'll have:

Proven recruitment experience, ideally within an agency environment.

Strong sourcing, headhunting and candidate engagement skills.

A track record of working towards targets and delivering results.

Confidence building relationships with senior stakeholders and hiring managers.

A proactive, organised and commercially minded approach.

The ability to manage multiple vacancies in a fast-paced environment.

Excellent communication, influencing and negotiation skills.

A genuine interest in building a long-term career in Talent Acquisition.

Above all, we're looking for someone ambitious, resilient and motivated by making a difference.

What's In It For You?

We believe great people deserve great rewards. Joining Fawkes & Reece means becoming part of an ambitious business that invests in its people and recognises success.

Our benefits include:

commission linked directly to your performance.

Clear career progression and structured development.

Exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence hiring strategy.

The chance to help shape a growing Talent function.

A supportive, high-performing and values-led culture.

High achiever trips and regular company social events.

Why Fawkes & Reece?

We've spent 25 years building a reputation for delivering results, developing people and creating opportunities. With 9 offices across the UK and ambitious plans for the future, we're continuing to invest in the people who will take our business forward.
