We are recruiting a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to join our HR team in Peterborough.
This is a hands-on recruitment role, supporting recruitment activity across the firm and working closely with hiring managers, candidates, and external recruitment partners. You will play an important role in ensuring vacancies progress efficiently through the recruitment process, whilst delivering a professional and engaging experience for candidates and managers.
The role suits someone with experience in internal recruitment, talent acquisition, or a recruitment agency environment who enjoys working in a busy environment, coordinating multiple vacancies, and supporting hiring managers throughout the recruitment process. You will need to be organised, proactive, and able to manage competing priorities, with strong communication skills and a focus on providing a positive experience for both candidates and hiring managers.
The Talent Acquisition Coordinator will support the day-to-day recruitment lifecycle, from vacancy approval and candidate attraction through to selection, pre-employment checks, and onboarding. You will coordinate recruitment activity, source candidates through a range of channels, manage candidate and agency communication, and keep recruitment records and processes up to date. You will work closely with hiring managers and the wider HR team to keep recruitment activity moving efficiently and consistently, escalating key decisions, risks, or challenges where appropriate.
