Job description

Senior Technical Recruiter (London / WFH)

This role sits at the heart of our Recruitment function – blending deep sourcing capability with flawless coordination execution. It is a high‑accountability, fast‑paced environment where autonomy, organisation, and results matter.

This will be a 6‑month contract, with a view to conversion to permanent. The role is hybrid; you must reside near London as it requires in‑office meetings and in‑person interviews.

Sponsorship is not currently an option for this role.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the full front‑end talent acquisition process – from identifying and engaging technical talent, to orchestrating interviews, managing candidate experience, and maintaining impeccable operational discipline.
• Work closely with Global Leadership, Technology Directors, and report into the TA Leadership team in Sydney.
• Build proactive pipelines, execute sourcing campaigns, and keep recruitment operations running like a machine.
• Manage 10+ pipelines and multiple interview schedules simultaneously without dropping detail.
• Act autonomously – self‑prioritise and deliver outcomes without constant direction.
• Influence and push back confidently, managing stakeholder expectations.

Requirements

• 8+ years’ experience in full‑cycle Technical Recruitment within Recruitment Agency, Technology Consulting and/or Professional Services. Must have proven tenure within technical recruitment.
• Extensive experience in Software Engineering (Java, JVM, Kotlin, Full stack / Backend / Frontend Engineers), Data Engineering and Delivery and Product Delivery roles.
• Proven success in identifying, engaging, and converting passive candidates in competitive technical markets.
• Exceptional organisational and coordination skills.
• Deep understanding of technology roles: Data, Cloud, Software Engineering, Delivery, Product Management, DevOps, AI, etc.
• Strong stakeholder communication – able to influence, push back, and manage expectations confidently.
• Proficiency in ATS/CRM systems (Workable or similar) and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, SeekOut, AI search tools).
• Driven by metrics and performance – measured by quality, speed, and candidate experience, not just activity volume.

Why Join Us

• No more targets or KPIs to worry about – focus on finding great people over targets.
• Be part of a strategic, high‑performance Recruitment function embedded within a world‑class consulting business.
• Operate with genuine autonomy and accountability – no micromanagement, just clear outcomes.
• Partner directly with leadership and delivery teams on mission‑critical hiring.
• A culture that values precision, growth, and excellence in everything we do.
• Real measurable impact in a fast‑growing global consulting business.
