Talent Acquisition - Embedded (Leeds, MCR, LDN)

About the Role

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Executive to drive the growth of our Embedded Solutions arm of the business by finding, engaging, and securing the best recruiters/resourcers/delivery consultants and talent acquisition professionals to work on directly with our clients. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives on networking and building genuine relationships with candidates long before a role ever opens.

This isn't a role for someone who waits for applications to land in an inbox. We need someone who is out in the market, building networks, mapping talent pools, and creating a pipeline of exceptional people before we need them.

What You'll Do

Talent Attraction & Headhunting

• Proactively source, network, and headhunt top-tier recruitment talent - recruitment

• consultants and TA professionals for our embedded solutions team - across our key markets

• Build and maintain a strong personal network within the recruitment industry to create a consistent pipeline of passive talent

• Develop and execute creative, proactive sourcing strategies rather than relying on inbound applications alone

• Represent our employer brand externally, at events, on social platforms, and within recruitment communities - to raise our profile as an employer of choice

Recruitment Delivery

• Own the full recruitment lifecycle for embedded hiring across the UK and US, from role briefing through offer and onboarding

• Act as a trusted advisor to candidates, providing honest, thoughtful guidance regardless of outcome

• Continuously look for ways to improve and elevate the candidate journey

Systems & Process

• Keep our CRM (Teamtailor) accurately and consistently updated - maintaining pipelines across the UK and US, candidate notes, statuses, and reporting

• Use data and CRM insights to inform sourcing strategy, track pipeline health, and report and update the wider business on hiring progress

• Contribute to continuous improvement of our TA processes, tools, and employer brand initiatives

Supporting Global Growth

• Act as a strategic partner to the business, understanding the shape of UK and US embedded growth and building talent pipelines ahead of need

• Provide market insight and intelligence (talent availability, competitor movement, salary benchmarking) to support hiring decisions

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a recruiter or TA professional, ideally with a strong background in recruitment-to-recruitment (Rec2Rec) or staffing agency recruitment hiring

• A genuine passion for and strength in networking and proactive headhunting - you build relationships before you need them, not after

• Demonstrable experience hiring consultants and TA professionals into embedded/RPO-style solutions

• A track record of delivering a high-quality, candidate-first recruitment experience

• Confident using an ATS/CRM (Teamtailor experience a strong plus) with excellent attention to data accuracy and hygiene

• Strong stakeholder management skills, comfortable partnering with senior leaders across UK and US markets

• Highly organised, self-directed, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-growing environment

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with genuine curiosity about people and markets
