We work with a range of UK employers actively hiring across these roles.

Job Description:

UK-Based (On-Site, Hybrid or Remote)

About the Roles We're looking for talented Recruitment and Talent Acquisition professionals at all levels—from Resourcer, Researcher and Recruitment Consultant through to Senior and Principal Consultant, Technical / Finance Recruiter, Talent Acquisition Partner, Team Lead, Recruitment Manager and Head of Talent—across both agency and in-house, with a focus on the tech and finance markets. You spend your days spotting brilliant people and matching them to the right opportunity, so we'll keep this honest: these are roles where relationships, market knowledge and genuine care for people's careers turn into great hires.

You'll work across the full recruitment lifecycle—from understanding the need and building the pipeline through to engagement, assessment, offer and onboarding. The role suits someone who pairs strong sourcing and relationship-building craft with real curiosity about the markets they recruit in and the careers they help shape.

Key Responsibilities

Shared across both tracks:

Source, engage and assess candidates across your specialist tech and / or finance disciplines
Build talent pipelines and lasting networks in your market
Manage candidates through the full process—screening, interview, feedback and offer
Build trusted relationships with hiring managers or clients
Advise on the market—skills availability, salary benchmarks and hiring strategy
Stay genuinely current on the roles, skills and trends in your sector

(Agency / 360 track focus):

Develop new business and grow existing client accounts
Own the full 360 cycle—business development, vacancy, sourcing and placement
Negotiate fees, terms and offers
Manage activity and hit billing targets

(In-house / Talent Acquisition track focus):

Partner with hiring managers to define roles, scorecards and hiring plans
Own the candidate experience and champion the employer brand
Manage the ATS, pipeline reporting and hiring metrics
Drive direct sourcing and reduce reliance on agencies

What You'll Bring

Recruitment Expertise:

A track record in recruitment or talent acquisition (agency, in-house or both)
Specialism—or a genuine appetite to specialise—in tech and / or finance hiring
Strong sourcing skills (LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, Boolean search, proactive outreach)
ATS / CRM familiarity (Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Vincere or similar)
Enough understanding of the roles you recruit for to hold a credible conversation with candidates and hiring managers
REC / IRP qualifications (Cert RP) a plus, but never essential

Relationship & Soft Skills:

Natural relationship-building and the ability to influence on both sides of a hire
Resilience, drive and a genuine competitive streak
Excellent communication and negotiation
A real interest in people's careers, not just the placement
Commercial awareness and a consultative approach
Collaborative, with high standards for candidate and client experience

Domain Flexibility:

Roles span agency and in-house, permanent and contract, across the tech market (software, data, AI / ML, cloud and infrastructure) and the finance market (accounting, FP&A, audit, compliance, tax, investment and quant)
Background in any of these is welcomed; appetite to move between agency and in-house, or into an adjacent specialism, valued just as much

Experience Level:

Entry / resourcer level through to 8+ years for Recruitment Manager and Head of Talent positions
Background in agency recruitment, in-house talent acquisition or executive search
Examples of placements, pipelines or hiring projects you've owned end-to-end

What We Offer

The opportunity to recruit in genuinely buoyant tech and finance markets where great talent is in real demand
Exposure to modern sourcing, ATS and talent-intelligence tooling
Roles at the level you're ready for—we're hiring across the full recruitment and talent spectrum
A collaborative environment where relationship craft and market expertise are both valued
Clear scope to develop specialist depth (sector, agency, in-house, search) or build toward leadership
Flexible working arrangements (on-site, hybrid or remote) and supportive team culture
