Our in-house talent team are tasked with ensuring Zenzero’s approach to talent acquisition is effective, innovative and market competitive.

This individual must bring experience of proactive hiring methods in a competitive domain.

Zenzero is a rapidly scaling business, in multiple locations and across a diverse mix of technology domains. This role will work on positions of all levels and in all geographies (UK, Dubai, South Africa and others), but will primarily focus on a high priority area of growth in our Data & Development Services business. Prior experience hiring specialised roles across Business Intelligence developers (in PowerBI), Data Engineers, C# / .net Software Developers, SQL / DBA Engineers, and Dynamics 365 & Power Platform consultants will be critical in succeeding in this role.

  • Connecting with candidates across diverse talent pools, working closely with all applicants throughout the application and interview process, offering timely outcomes and feedback.
  • Building strong and credible relationships with internal stakeholders, partnering with them to gain knowledge of their hiring needs, and to coach and develop them in assessment and selection techniques.
  • Building a strong network of diverse talent pools and utilising a variety of direct recruitment methods to source candidates (e.g. social media, job boards, CV database mining, referrals, head hunting etc).
  • Ensuring all processes are documented and are efficient, offering a great candidate and manager experience.
  • Ensuring the provision of high-quality advice to managers on selection techniques including telephone interviewing, competency-based interviewing, psychometric testing, assessment centres etc.
  • Producing and presenting reports and metrics to support continuous improvement; defining reporting requirements for recruitment and building dashboards using data to drive recruitment decisions.
  • Collating market insight and salary bench-marking data to ensure we remain market competitive.
  • Support continuous improvement of our talent acquisition practices, working in partnership with broader talent team
  • Continuously building knowledge of the Technology Managed Services and Solutions sector and job markets.
  • Providing workshops and briefings in own area of expertise to up-skill line managers or provide information on policy and procedure.
  • In collaboration with the People team, ensure that we attract, recruit, develop and deploy diverse teams and inclusive leaders, co-creating positive action interventions where required.

Experience

  • Decent understanding of the technical skills and requirements of data, business intelligence and development roles within the Microsoft domain.
