About Your Role

You will be responsible for delivering early careers recruitment across assigned business areas and programmes, including graduate, intern and apprentice hiring. This role would suit someone who has already owned recruitment campaigns or substantial recruitment workstreams, can partner directly with stakeholders, and is comfortable balancing hands-on delivery with the judgement needed to shape fair, consistent and scalable hiring outcomes. Working closely with business stakeholders, HR colleagues and the wider Early Careers team, you will:

• Own end-to-end recruitment activity across assigned early careers programmes, from attraction and selection through to offer management, onboarding handover and campaign review.
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand hiring needs, shape plans and influence decisions that support fair, efficient and high-quality outcomes.
• Help stakeholders understand and adopt consistent early careers recruitment processes, while ensuring business needs are properly understood and represented.
• Act as an early careers subject matter expert, advising on market trends, candidate expectations, assessment, diversity considerations and scalable programme-level ways of working.
• Deliver and continuously improve inclusive, well-governed selection activity, including screening, interviews, assessment centres, candidate communications and assessor briefing.
• Represent Fidelity International at university, school, college, partner and pipeline-building events across the UK and Ireland, bringing our employer brand to life for a broad range of talent.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with universities, schools, colleges, student societies, social mobility partners, diversity partners and other organisations that help us reach high-potential talent.
• Use data, market insight and candidate feedback to monitor performance, identify risks and recommend improvements to attraction, assessment and hiring outcomes.
• Work with internal communications, marketing, programme management, suppliers and wider Talent Acquisition colleagues to deliver joined-up campaigns, consistent messaging and a positive experience for candidates and stakeholders.
• Some travel across the UK and Ireland will be required during peak campus and schools engagement periods, including occasional early mornings or evenings.
