As a Talent Delivery Specialist, you'll have a dual focus that showcases the breadth of our talent solutions:

Impact X - Executive Client Recruitment

This includes working closely with the Senior People & Culture Partner to source talent for roles across recruitment, operations, client services, and support functions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Executive Search for Impact X Clients: Deliver high‑calibre executive candidates for our clients' senior and leadership roles, utilising sophisticated sourcing strategies and maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism.
• Internal Talent Acquisition: Partner with hiring managers across Instant Impact to understand team needs and source candidates who align with our values and culture for various business‑critical positions.
• Dual‑Speed Recruitment: Balance the pace of executive search projects with the agility required for internal hiring, managing multiple priorities and stakeholder expectations across both streams.
• Executive Engagement: Conduct senior‑level candidate conversations, assessing leadership competencies, cultural fit, and strategic thinking for Impact X client roles.
• Market Intelligence: Provide valuable talent insights and market intelligence to both Impact X clients and internal stakeholders, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor on talent trends.
• Employer Branding: Champion the Instant Impact employee value proposition when recruiting internally, while effectively articulating our clients' unique offerings when sourcing for Impact X assignments.

What do we need from you?
