This system, which covers finance, HR, payroll, and learning, helps businesses run more smoothly and make better decisions in real time.

With over 40 years of experience behind us, MHR’s track record as a high-performance organisation is built on clear goals, a shared vision, and strong communication - all of which we pass on to our customers.

MHR is more than just a place to work; it’s a platform for empowerment. Joining us means bringing innovation, technology, and teamwork seamlessly removes obstacles, enhances your skills, and allow you to focus on what’s most important to you- work that matters.

With us, you’ll grow, find your flow, and make a lasting difference in your career, your team, and your impact.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of recruitment across your area and work as a trusted business partner to senior leaders throughout MHR. You’ll have the freedom to shape your approach and influence workforce planning.

You’ll also collaborate with colleagues across HR and the wider organisation to strengthen our employer brand, organise recruitment events, and keep our hiring approach competitive and aligned to market trends.

Your Impact.

Your work will directly influence how we attract, engage and secure the talent that drives our success. You’ll build effective sourcing strategies, map external markets, and use recruitment data and market insight to measure effectiveness and improve hiring strategies.

• Understand current and future workforce needs, and turn business priorities into effective recruitment plans.
• Build and maintain talent pipelines for critical, specialist and hard-to-fill roles.
• Lead cost-effective recruitment in line with approved budgets, workforce plans and hiring processes.
• Advise on role design, market conditions, sourcing strategies, assessment methods and candidate attraction.
• Deliver targeted campaigns through digital platforms, social media, events and recruitment partnerships.

• Keep candidates informed with clear, timely communication throughout the process.
• Conduct structured interviews by phone, Microsoft Teams or in person, as appropriate.
• Use recruitment data and market insight to measure effectiveness and improve hiring strategies and processes.
• Ensure recruitment activity is accurately recorded in the ATS and managed in line with agreed processes.

What you'll bring:

• Confidence working independently, using your initiative and managing your own workload.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, including confidence engaging with senior managers, directors, candidates and other stakeholders.
