Job description

Join one of the UK’s largest electrical wholesalers as we reimagine our technology for the digital age. We’re modernising our legacy systems and building new platforms powered by AWS and AI — and we need creative minds to help us shape the future!

About the Role: We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner with a strong background in technology recruitment to join our Global IT Talent Acquisition team. Established in 2022, the team has already saved the business over £1.6M in agency spend while building a direct-sourcing model that supports IT’s ambitious digital evolution.

In this role, you’ll partner with hiring managers across EMEA to deliver an exceptional recruitment experience — from shaping briefs and building pipelines to onboarding new joiners. You’ll be at the heart of building high-performing teams across engineering, data science, serverless cloud, and more, while helping shape the culture, processes, and future of our growing TA function.

What you'll do:

• Partner with hiring managers to take in-depth, consultative briefs and build tailored recruitment strategies
• Proactively source and headhunt top talent, leveraging LinkedIn Recruiter and other channels
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle: screening, coordinating interviews, providing feedback, and guiding hiring decisions
• Own the offer stage – from extending offers to managing negotiations and ensuring a smooth acceptance process
• Support new joiners through onboarding to deliver a seamless candidate experience
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders, providing market insights and influencing decisions
• Continuously seek out process improvements, exploring and testing new tools (including AI-powered solutions) to enhance how we work

What you'll bring:

• Proven experience in technology recruitment (either in-house or agency) with exposure to complex, hard-to-fill requirements
• Previous experience using applicant tracking systems and ideally exposure to CRMs (we use LeverTRM)
• Deep understanding of the technology landscape – from engineering to emerging digital skills
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence where needed
• Natural problem solver with resilience and adaptability in a fast-changing environment
• Curiosity around new tools, process optimisation, and innovation within talent acquisition
• Passion for delivering a brilliant candidate and hiring manager experience

Our Hiring Process:

• Intro call with Global IT Talent Acquisition Manager (30 Minutes)
• 1st Stage Interview over Microsoft Teams with the Global IT Talent Acquisition Team
• 2nd Stage Interview over Microsoft Teams with key EMEA Stakeholders
