Job Description
We're partnering with a fast-moving, commercially driven media organisation on a newly created opportunity for a motivated recruiter looking to broaden their experience within the wider People space.
Reporting into an HR Director who is in the early stages of building the HR function, this hire will be their number two and will take full ownership of Recruitment, transforming it from a reactive model into a proactive, business-partnering function.
What you'll be doing:
* Owning and evolving the end-to-end recruitment strategy
* Partnering closely with leadership, particularly across sales and commercial teams
* Building talent pipelines, early careers programmes and internship pathways
* Strengthening employer brand and market positioning
* Supporting wider HR projects including workforce planning, L&D and DEI
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced recruiter to broaden their scope beyond traditional TA and gain exposure across the full People agenda.
What we're looking for:
* Solid 360 recruitment experience (agency background essential, some in-house ideal)
* A consultative, business-partner mindset with the confidence to demonstrate value and challenge where needed
* Ideally, experience recruiting sales roles within a fast-paced, commercial environment
* Proactive, resilient and excited by building something new
* Strong stakeholder management skills and a natural relationship builder
If you're ready to move from delivery-focused recruitment into a broader and more strategic role with real ownership and visibility, this could be the perfect next step.
Hybrid role: 3-4 days in the office.
