About Us
The Jackson Lombard Group is a collection of specialist executive search and recruitment businesses operating across the UK and US. From leadership advisory and PE-backed talent, to sports, media, aerospace and strategy consulting - each of our firms brings deep sector expertise and an entrepreneurial edge, united by a shared belief in doing great work and building exceptional teams.
We move fast, we back people who take initiative, and were deliberately building a group where the best talent wants to work. This role is part of that effort.
The Role
Were hiring a Talent Associate to own internal recruitment across the group. Thats the core of it. Youll run live hiring across six businesses, build pipelines before we need them, and make sure were consistently attracting the right people.
Beyond the hiring itself, youll also have a hand in how we show up as an employer - onboarding, retention, employer brand - and youll pick up some people ops and HR admin along the way. If youre a recruiter whos been wanting to broaden your remit without losing what youre good at, this is that opportunity.
What Youll Do
Internal Hiring
* Own end-to-end recruitment across the group - from taking a brief through to offer management and close
* Build proactive pipelines across our core hiring profiles so were not always starting from scratch
* Partner closely with business line leads to stay ahead of hiring needs across all six businesses
Employer Brand & Sourcing
* Manage our presence on LinkedIn and other channels to attract candidates and reflect the kind of group we are
* Help shape our employer value proposition - what we offer, how we talk about it, and whether it lands
Onboarding & Retention
* Own the onboarding experience for new joiners across the group, making sure people start well
* Support engagement and retention initiatives as we continue to grow
People Ops & HR Admin
* Pick up HR administration and help build out people processes that scale with the group
* Keep records accurate across our HR systems - unglamorous, but it matters
About You
Were looking for someone with a recruitment background whos ready to do more than just fill roles. You know how to run a process, build rapport with hiring managers, and keep things moving - and youre interested in the broader picture around how a business attracts and keeps good people.
Youll have a bias for action and enough judgement to know when to move and when to pause. Someone who gets things done without needing to be chased, but takes the time to do things properly the first time.
* 1-2 years of experience in recruitment or talent acquisition - agency or in-house, were open to both
* Comfortable owning a process end-to-end and managing multiple live briefs at once
* Confident on LinkedIn - for sourcing, outreach and content
* Strong written communicator - able to write about roles and culture in a way that feels human, not like a job board template
* Organised and self-directed - this role has real ownership attached to it
Some exposure to HR, onboarding or employer brand would be a nice bonus. Curiosity about the executive search and talent industry is a must.
Reporting Lines
This role reports into the Group COO, with day-to-day management through the Head of Operations. Youll work closely with both, as well as directly with founders and senior leaders across each of the groups business lines.
Whats on Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Hybrid working from our Oxford Circus office
* A chance to move beyond purely filling roles and get involved in how a group of businesses is built
* Direct access to founders and senior leaders across six specialist businesses from day one
* Genuine ownership - youll see the impact of your work quickly
* Room to grow as the group scales, with a natural path into broader people strategy if thats where you want to go
