• 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
