About the role
Are you passionate about finding brilliant people, creating inclusive hiring experiences and shaping how an organisation attracts the talent it needs for the future? At Northumbrian Water Group, we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager who can bring energy, insight and innovation to the way we recruit, select and welcome people into our business.
This is a brilliant opportunity to lead a high-performing Talent Acquisition team and play a key role in helping us deliver the diverse, skilled and future-focused workforce we need. You’ll be at the heart of our People directorate, working closely with leaders, managers, People Business Partners and external partners to make sure recruitment is professional, inclusive, data-led and candidate-centred.
You’ll lead the design and delivery of recruitment approaches that help NWG attract, assess and appoint great people. From developing inclusive selection tools and assessment materials, to strengthening our employer brand and improving our digital recruitment experience, you’ll make sure our hiring activity is effective, fair and aligned to business priorities.
About You
You’ll be an experienced recruitment or talent acquisition professional who knows how to balance pace, quality and candidate experience. You’ll be confident working with stakeholders at all levels, able to influence decisions and comfortable using data to tell a story, challenge thinking and improve results.
You’ll bring strong knowledge of end-to-end recruitment, experience using digital tools and applicant tracking systems, and a genuine commitment to fair, inclusive and accessible hiring. Just as importantly, you’ll care about people — the candidates who apply, the managers you support and the team you lead.
