Company Description / Business Unit
For over a century, The AA has been keeping Britain moving. Today, millions of drivers trust us to be there when it matters most, and we're equally committed to supporting the people who make that possible. With a 4.5-star Glassdoor rating, we've built a culture where colleagues are empowered to grow, collaborate and make a real impact for our customers on every journey.

This is the job
This is a chance to shape how The AA attracts, engages and converts the talent we need now and for the future.
We’re looking for a Talent Attraction Specialist to join our Talent Acquisition team. You’ll lead the development and delivery of talent attraction activity across The AA, helping us strengthen our employer brand, improve the performance of attraction channels and build sustainable talent pipelines that support workforce plans and business priorities.
Working with Talent Acquisition colleagues, HR, Marketing and business leaders, you’ll turn insight into clear attraction strategies, campaigns and recommendations. Initially, you’ll oversee the performance of external attraction partners to make sure activity delivers measurable value and a positive candidate experience.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Over time, you’ll help evaluate how we can build more in-house attraction capability. This role will suit someone who is insight driven, commercially aware, and confident influencing others to improve how we attract talent.
What will I be doing?
- Develop and deliver talent attraction strategies aligned to workforce plans, hiring priorities and business needs
- Champion The AA’s Employer Value Proposition across attraction activity, helping candidates understand what makes The AA a great place to work
- Develop employer brand campaigns and attraction content that engage relevant audiences and support priority hiring
- Lead relationships with external attraction agencies and recruitment marketing partners, making sure activity delivers measurable value
- Analyse labour market trends, campaign performance and recruitment data to identify opportunities for improvement
- Produce insight reports and recommendations that help Talent Acquisition colleagues and business leaders make informed attraction decisions
- Partner with Hiring Managers, People Business Partners, Talent Acquisition colleagues and Marketing to support inclusive attraction strategies and an excellent candidate experience
What do I need?
You’ll Bring
- Experience in talent attraction, employer branding or recruitment marketing, with the ability to develop effective attraction strategies
- Experience managing recruitment marketing, attraction agencies or external attraction partners
- A strong understanding of digital attraction channels and how they can be used to engage different talent audiences
