We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who goes beyond filling roles - a trusted Talent Advisor who partners closely with the business to shape hiring decisions, elevate talent quality, and drive long-term workforce outcomes.

This role is about owning and influencing the hiring process - bringing structure, insight, and market perspective to ensure we select the right talent. You will play a key role in guiding stakeholders, challenging thinking, and embedding best-in-class hiring practices.

• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, success profiles, and hiring strategies
• Act as a trusted advisor, providing guidance on talent availability, market trends, and hiring approaches
• Facilitate structured, competency-based interviews and assessments
• Influence and guide hiring decisions to ensure fairness, consistency, and quality of hire
• Deliver a seamless, professional, and engaging candidate experience
• Track, analyse, and report on recruitment metrics, insights, and hiring progress
• Identify opportunities to optimise processes and improve hiring effectiveness
• Ensure compliance with relevant labour legislation and internal policies

You are a credible Talent Advisor who brings insight, structure, and confidence into every hiring conversation.

You likely have:

• At least 2-3 years' experience in Talent Acquisition / Recruitment, ideally with exposure to technology and data-related roles

• A track record of building trusted relationships with business stakeholders
• Interviewing techniques (including telephonic and competency-based interviewing)
• Candidate response handling and constructive feedback delivery
• Recruitment and selection processes and methodologies
• Application and interpretation of assessments (e.g. ability tests, personality questionnaires)
• Working with structured hiring frameworks and best practices

Ideal:

• Experience with management competency frameworks, including assessment and feedback
• Exposure to talent review processes and development conversations
  Ability to contribute to broader talent discussions beyond hiring (e.g. talent planning, succession, capability building)

• Be more than a recruiter - Step into a true Talent Advisor role, where your insights and guidance directly influence hiring decisions and business outcomes.
• Partner with purpose - Work closely with leaders to shape teams, not just fill roles, and contribute to long-term talent success.
• Drive real impact - Play a key role in hiring critical mid to senior talent, where quality truly matters.
• Elevate your craft - Strengthen your expertise in structured hiring, assessments, and talent advisory within a high-performing environment.
