About the role
As we continue to grow our Technology business at a rapid rate we're looking for driven and creative tech recruitment professionals to join us to help drive this growth. If you thrive on hunting for technology talent in a competitive market and want to work as part of an expert team in a high growth, inclusive environment with access to the latest recruitment technologies then this could be the role for you.

Here in the Tesco recruitment team, we play a significant role in the development and success of our business - our world is fast paced and demanding, but hugely rewarding. We are also one of the largest in-house recruitment teams in the UK, so if you love recruitment and are passionate about your career, you will have plenty of opportunity to develop and progress here.

We are a hybrid working team blending office and remote working. Our Welwyn Garden City office is where we connect, collaborate and innovate in-person. Talk to us about how this can work for you.

You will be responsible for:

1. Proactively sourcing and hiring great talent for Tesco Technology, this may be for a specific technology vertical or could be across multiple verticals as the business needs.
2. Using social and professional media platforms to attract passive candidates, building talent pools and candidate pipelines to service future hiring needs of the business.
3. Gathering and sharing candidate and market data and insights to influence improvements such as changes to salary bands, improvements to processes etc.
4. Gathering leads and promoting our Employer Brand through networking, social media, events and other means.
5. Successfully delivering large scale recruitment activity projects within fast-paced timeframes.
6. Always championing the candidate experience and Diversity and Inclusion.
7. Building excellent relationships with our hiring manager community, to fully understand their requirements, keep them up to date on progress and provide a first-class end to end service.

You will need:

1. Excellent proactive candidate sourcing and talent pooling skills, evidenced by strong results in placing directly sourced candidates into Technology roles.
2. Niche talent "mining" skills, the ability to use boolean and x-ray search strings to find prospective candidates in less than obvious places.
3. Strong expertise in the 360-recruitment delivery cycle, with the ability to influence and consult at all stages of the process.
4. Strong stakeholder management skills, ensuring all candidates and hiring managers are kept well informed of project progress.
5. Experience using cloud based ATS systems and use the systems to deliver insight and analytics to the business.
6. In house experience is advantageous, however a passionate recruiter within the agency environment who demonstrates pro-activity to move in house would also be considered.
