Head of Talent Acquisition (Professional Services) – 4-Month Fixed-Term
About the Role
We have an active hiring plan and need an experienced Talent Acquisition professional to deliver it. This is a focused, four-month role for someone who is immediately available and can hit the ground running.
Unity Advisory is a finance advisory firm trusted by CFOs and senior finance leaders through complex, high-stakes transformation. Backed by Warburg Pincus, we’re scaling deliberately—and right now, we need additional TA bandwidth to keep pace.
We are not the Big Four. We’re high-agency and commercially serious, where performance is measured by outcomes, not activity. For the right person, this is a chance to do excellent work at pace, in a firm that takes hiring seriously.
The Role
We’re adding depth to a high-performing TA team for four months. You’ll bring immediate capacity, sharing ownership of live hiring across all levels—staff to senior executives.
Working closely with the CPO, you’ll run the full recruitment lifecycle, from Senior Associate to Director, and support our senior pipeline. You’ll have direct access to hiring managers and Partners from Day One. No long ramp-up period—we need someone who can start now, pick up live roles quickly, and deliver without delay.
Key Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
