Job description

We’re hiring a Talent Partner to join one of our embedded teams supporting a global FMCG powerhouse and household brand. Operating across the UK and wider Europe, this role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-volume, structured recruitment environments.

You'll take ownership of the full hiring process – but with a key difference: all roles come through inbound applications. This is not a sourcing-heavy role. Instead, your focus will be on delivering an exceptional end-to-end process, from posting roles and managing applications to engaging stakeholders and ensuring a seamless candidate experience. The positions you’ll manage are complex and niche, spanning both IT and Corporate functions, making attention to detail and stakeholder confidence essential.

What you will be doing

• Taking full ownership of the hiring process – from initial application to successful placement.
• Managing a high volume of inbound applications; no outbound sourcing required.
• Handling multiple, highly specialised roles with precision and timely delivery.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with hiring managers and stakeholders across departments.
• Ensuring every candidate touchpoint reflects the high standards of our client’s employer brand.
• Spotting opportunities to improve processes and contributing to ongoing talent acquisition excellence.

️ What we are looking for

• 4+ years’ experience in recruitment, managing end-to-end processes.
• Experience recruiting across niche IT and/or Corporate functions.
• Exposure to international hiring, particularly within the UK and European markets.
• Background in FMCG is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the confidence to engage at all level.
• A proactive mindset – you take initiative, spot gaps, and solve problems before they escalate.
