They are looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition professional to support the development of a high-performing recruitment function and deliver recruitment activity across the organisation.
This is a hands-on role where you will take responsibility for the end-to-end delivery of recruitment activity, partnering with hiring managers on their resourcing requirements while also playing an important role in developing the organisation's recruitment processes, employer brand, candidate experience, and talent acquisition capability.

This Talent Acquisition Manager role is an interim position paying £375 per day (inside IR35). The role is based near Euston where you will need to be able to attend the office 2 days per week.
Key Responsibilities
- Managing the full end-to-end recruitment lifecycle, from workforce planning and requisition approval through to sourcing, assessment, offer, and onboarding.
- Partnering with senior leaders and hiring managers to understand recruitment requirements and provide expert advice on attraction, selection, and recruitment best practice.
- Supporting the development of a scalable talent acquisition function, including recruitment frameworks, policies, processes, and governance appropriate for a newly established government-owned organisation.
- Developing attraction strategies and employer branding initiatives to reach high-quality and diverse talent while delivering an excellent candidate experience.

- Using recruitment data and insight, including time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, and source effectiveness, to monitor performance, improve processes, and support strategic workforce decisions.
