Talent Acquisition Specialist
As part of SCOR's HR Transformation journey, we are strengthening our Talent Acquisition Centre of Expertise across EMEA and we are now looking for a skilled talent acquisition specialist for the London office.
We're looking for an exceptional Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our growing European Talent Acquisition team in London.
This is a role for a specialist who genuinely enjoys being busy. You'll be managing a diverse portfolio of vacancies, partnering with senior leaders, influencing hiring decisions, directly sourcing hard-to-find talent, and helping shape the future of Talent Acquisition at one of the world's leading global reinsurers.
About SCOR
As a leading global reinsurer, SCOR offers its clients a diversified and innovative range of reinsurance and insurance solutions and services to control and manage risk. Applying "The Art & Science of Risk," SCOR uses its industry-recognized expertise and cutting-edge financial solutions to serve its clients and contribute to the welfare and resilience of society in around 160 countries worldwide.
Working at SCOR means engaging with some of the best minds in the industry - actuaries, data scientists, underwriters, risk modelers, engineers, and many others - as we work together to find solutions to pressing challenges facing societies.

Responsibilities
In this role, no two days are ever the same. One moment you'll be briefing a hiring manager on a critical hire, the next you'll be headhunting niche talent, advising on market intelligence, presenting shortlists, improving recruitment processes, or contributing to strategic Talent Acquisition projects across Europe.
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
