About the opportunity
This is your opportunity to manage one of Korn Ferry’s client account whilst leading a team of professional Talent Acquisition specialists.
You'll continue to deliver a best-in-class resourcing function by achieving all agreed performance metrics, but you will also own a continuous improvement roadmap which should include enhancements to our people, processes, and technology with the aim of exceeding our clients' expectations and delighting our stakeholders.
Keen to share your knowledge and insights, the wider team will also look to you for expertise, trusted advice, management and development. This role will involve close collaboration with specialists across employer branding, recruitment marketing, sourcing, DE&I and continuous improvement.
About you
You will have a proven track record in a people management role within talent acquisition, and you will have a demonstrable range of interpersonal and collaboration skills to draw upon.
You should be able to evidence your multiple achievements in driving improvements in KPI performance, operational discipline, data integrity and overall recruiter capability in a team dynamic, and you should be able to provide examples of times when you've analysed data and reviewed processes to manage risk and opportunity in a large scale recruitment function.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
