Description

Shape the Future of Talent at Davies

Talent Acquisition Specialist | Full Recruitment Ownership | Real Business Impact

Ready to move beyond “filling roles” and truly shape how a business attracts and hires talent?

At Davies, this isn’t just recruitment—it’s about building the future of our workforce.

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll partner with stakeholders to design smart, forward-thinking hiring strategies, connect with great people, and deliver an experience that reflects who we are as an employer. Your work will directly influence how we grow, innovate, and succeed.


Your New Role

About the role

This is a varied and hands-on role with real ownership. You’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle while developing creative ways to attract top talent across a mix of entry-level and specialist roles.

You’ll work closely with leaders to understand their needs, build strong talent pipelines, and bring fresh ideas to how we show up in the market—from sourcing approaches to employer branding initiatives.

No two days will be the same—and that’s exactly how you like it.

What you’ll be doing

Talent strategy & business partnering

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to design hiring plans aligned to business goals
  • Advise on market trends and hiring approaches to stay ahead of demand

Attraction & sourcing

  • Create engaging recruitment campaigns that stand out
  • Use a mix of channels: direct sourcing, internal pipelines, agencies and partnerships
  • Build connections with universities, colleges and community networks

End-to-end recruitment delivery

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.
