About the Role

We're looking for a proactive, commercially minded Recruitment Business Partner to join the Lorien team, supporting the continued growth of our MSP account with Howden.

This is a visible, relationship-driven role where you'll act as the primary recruitment partner to hiring managers-building trust, advising on best practice, and ensuring every hire is delivered with quality, pace, and precision. You'll operate beyond BAU recruitment, bringing insight, influence, and problem-solving to strengthen stakeholder relationships and enhance the overall recruitment experience.

If you thrive in dynamic MSP environments, enjoy partnering with senior stakeholders, and bring a consultative yet decisive approach-you'll feel right at home here.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the primary recruitment partner to hiring managers within an MSP onsite environment.
• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from vacancy briefing through to offer management and onboarding.
• Deliver a highly consultative, stakeholder-focused service, offering expert advice and balancing client, candidate, and commercial needs.
• Proactively challenge and guide stakeholders to ensure best practice, compliance, and strong outcomes.
• Partner closely with the Lorien sourcing team to design and execute effective direct sourcing strategies.
• Provide market intelligence, salary guidance, and recruitment insights to influence hiring decisions.
• Ensure full adherence to client policies, SLAs, compliance, and data integrity requirements.
• Manage and monitor third-party agencies where required.
• Maintain accurate MI and produce recruitment reporting that supports continuous improvement.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, streamline delivery, and enhance stakeholder relationships.
• Act as a custodian of the Lorien and Impellam brands, representing our values and educating stakeholders on our offering.

Skills & Experience We're Looking For

Essential:

• Previous recruitment experience-ideally within an MSP, RPO, or onsite
• Strong stakeholder management skills with confidence to challenge, influence, and advise senior stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; tactful, articulate, and credible.
• Analytical, methodical approach paired with strong problem-solving capability.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage conflicting priorities.
• Motivated, results-driven, and able to act quickly and decisively.
• Strong IT literacy and confidence using recruitment systems and reporting tools.

Desired:

• Experience working within financial services or professional services accounts.
• Experience delivering within complex, high-volume or multi-stakeholder environments.
• Exposure to data-driven recruitment decision-making or MI reporting.

What You'll Love About This Role

• A growing, supportive MSP team embedded within a high-profile client.
• The chance to bring real influence, shape thinking, and drive continuous improvement.
• Hybrid working with a collaborative, people-first culture.
