At Octavius, our people are the foundation of everything we achieve. We're on an exciting growth trajectory and looking for a talented and curious Talent Sourcer to join our high-performing Talent Team.
This is an opportunity to help identify Octavius' future stars, building talent pipelines, uncovering hard-to-find talent and supporting our growth in talent-short markets.
Working alongside experienced Talent Partners and Talent Co-ordinators, you'll learn an integral part of the People function while helping shape the future workforce of our business.
Whether you're a recruiter, graduate, apprentice, returner to work, or simply someone with a passion for people and talent, this role offers the opportunity to develop a career in a forward-thinking Talent team.

You'll be working on…. (what your role and responsibility is)
As a Talent Sourcer, you'll focus on finding, engaging and building relationships with great people before a vacancy even exists.
Your Key Responsibilities Will Include
- Researching talent markets and mapping key skillsets across our sectors.
- Identifying and engaging both active and passive candidates through a variety of sourcing channels.
- Building and nurturing talent pools for current and future hiring needs.
- Producing high-quality candidate longlists that help our Talent Partners and Talent Co-ordinators fill critical roles across the business.
- Using LinkedIn, job boards, networking platforms, AI-enabled tools and market intelligence to uncover hard-to-find talent.
- Supporting diversity, equity and inclusion objectives through proactive and inclusive sourcing strategies.
- Providing market insight on talent availability, competitor activity and skills shortages.
- Promoting Octavius as an employer of choice through candidate engagement and attraction campaigns.
- Maintaining accurate candidate records within our ATS and talent systems.
- Continually exploring new technologies, sourcing techniques and AI-driven efficiencies to improve our direct hiring capability.
