About the role

We are looking for an experienced, proactive and commercially minded Senior Recruiter to join the UK & Ireland Talent Acquisition team. This is a hands-on role with responsibility for delivering end-to-end recruitment across a high-volume commercial portfolio in a fast-paced and evolving business environment.

The successful candidate will work closely with hiring managers and People & Culture stakeholders to understand workforce needs, build effective attraction and sourcing strategies, and deliver a high-quality candidate experience. The role requires flexibility to attend recruitment events, assessment centres, university or employer-brand activities and other hiring initiatives across the UK, which may occasionally involve travel outside standard working patterns.

• Deliver high-volume commercial recruitment at pace while maintaining quality, compliance and a strong candidate experience.
• Partner with hiring managers to clarify role requirements, recruitment priorities, selection criteria and realistic hiring timelines.
• Develop targeted attraction and direct-sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, talent pools, referrals, job boards and agency support where appropriate.
• Proactively source, engage, screen and assess candidates for commercial, sales, field-based and corporate vacancies.
• Plan and support interviews, high-volume selection activity, assessment centres and engagement events.
• Remain flexible to attend recruitment, employer-brand and candidate-engagement events around the country, including occasional early starts, later finishes or overnight travel where business needs require.
• Provide hiring managers with clear market insight, candidate recommendations and regular progress updates.
• Manage candidate communication throughout the process, including interview scheduling, progression, feedback and offer-stage conversations.
• Build sustainable talent pipelines for current and anticipated hiring demand across the UK & Ireland.
• Maintain accurate recruitment records and ensure internal processes, documentation and data requirements are followed.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that make recruitment faster, simpler and more effective.

About you

• Strong experience in in-house, RPO or agency recruitment, ideally within a large, complex or multinational organisation.
• Proven success delivering high-volume commercial recruitment in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
• Confident managing multiple vacancies, stakeholders and changing priorities simultaneously.
• Strong direct-sourcing, interviewing and candidate-assessment capability.
• Commercially aware, comfortable using recruitment data and market insight to influence hiring decisions.
• Excellent stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the confidence to advise and challenge constructively.
• Highly organised, resilient and solutions focused, with strong attention to detail.
• Committed to inclusive hiring practices and a positive, humane candidate experience.
• Able to work independently while collaborating closely with the wider Talent Acquisition and People & Culture teams.
• Flexible and willing to travel across the UK to support recruitment events and hiring activity as required.

Desirable experience

• Experience recruiting for commercial, sales or geographically dispersed field-force roles.
• Experience delivering volume campaigns, assessment centres or multi-location recruitment programmes.
• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and an applicant tracking or recruitment management system.
• Experience supporting employer-brand activity, talent events, university engagement or proactive talent-community building.

What success looks like

• You will quickly build credibility with hiring managers, take ownership of a busy commercial recruitment portfolio and keep multiple hiring processes moving at pace.
• You will combine strong delivery discipline with market knowledge, proactive sourcing and excellent candidate care, while remaining flexible to support events and recruitment activity across the country.
