6 Month Fixed Term Opportunity
Hybrid – Attached to Homer Road, Solihull, B91 3QJ
Full Time, Permanent
Band 6 / £28,000–£32,000 (dependent on experience)
Join Serco’s Talent Acquisition team and play a key role in delivering recruitment across our Group and Corporate Functions.
We’re looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Coordinator (TAC) to join the team on a 6-month fixed term contract. This is a hands-on recruitment role supporting a broad portfolio of vacancies across functions including Finance, Digital, HR, Growth, Legal and Communications and other corporate disciplines.
While this is a Coordinator role, we’re looking for someone operating at an experienced TAC level who can take ownership of their recruitment workload and work with a high degree of autonomy. You’ll manage a busy portfolio of around 20–35 vacancies at any one time, including roles up to Band 3 (senior management), working closely with hiring managers and candidates to keep recruitment moving at pace.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with solid in-house Talent Acquisition experience who is confident managing multiple vacancies, stakeholders and priorities with minimal hand-holding, and who enjoys being part of a collaborative team.
As part of this you’ll:
- Take ownership of the day-to-day recruitment activity across your portfolio, ensuring vacancies progress smoothly from approval through to offer and onboarding.
- Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a portfolio of approximately 20–35 live vacancies across a range of Group and Corporate Functions.
- Coordinating recruitment activity for Band 3 and below roles, including Finance, HR, Commercial, Legal, Technology and Communications positions.
- Working closely with hiring managers to understand requirements, agree recruitment activity and keep processes moving.
- Managing candidate communication throughout the recruitment process, ensuring a professional and engaging candidate experience.
- Coordinating interviews, assessments, feedback and selection activity, managing diaries and competing stakeholder priorities.
- Supporting attraction and sourcing activity, including working with LinkedIn Recruiter, recruitment systems and other sourcing tools where required.
- Managing candidate pipelines and ensuring ATS records, recruitment data and vacancy information are accurate and up to date.
- Supporting offer management, pre-employment checks and onboarding, working with internal teams to ensure a smooth candidate journey.
- Providing regular updates on recruitment progress, highlighting delays, risks and actions required.
- Building effective relationships with hiring managers, candidates and wider HR and Talent Acquisition colleagues.
- Supporting wider team activity including talent pipeline administration, research, reporting and continuous improvement.
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.
