Talent Acquisition Lead

Descripción del puesto

Talent Acquisition Lead 📍 Manchester, UK (Hybrid 4 days WFH) | 💰 £60,000 - £70,000 Street Group is scaling fast toward an ambitious growth plan, and hiring is about to get harder: more senior roles, a higher bar, and a market where the best people don't apply; they get found and won. We need someone who owns how we hire, not just who we hire. We're looking for a TA Specialist with a truly commercial mindset. Skilled at your craft - able to land the hardest hires yourself, but also understanding what will make a whole team better at hiring - from candidate attraction to relationship building; employer brand to candidate experience. Why this role exists now Our recruiting team is strong but stacked - and as we get busier, there’s no real capacity to ensure we’re constantly innovating and improving the mechanisms that let us hire quality people at pace. We’ve recently raised investment, and have ambitious goals to achieve - now is the time to fine-tune our recruiting engine so we can scale effectively over the next few years. The role This is a role of two halves. The first half is hands-on delivery. IC L5s at Street Group are expected to confidently own the hardest searches - senior roles, niche roles, brand new roles we’ve no experience hiring for. You’ll be expected to understand how the roles you’re hiring for tie in to commercial goals, what to prioritise and why. When you run into issues, you investigate, gather qualitative and quantitative data, conduct market research, and ultimately develop solutions to solve your own problems. You share your knowledge with the team in ways that bring them on the journey - not just the “what and how” but the strong “why” behind it. The second half is taking our TA function from great to exceptional. Candidate experience, employer brand, AI, tooling, sourcing strategy, assessment - we do all of them well already, but our team holds ourselves to a high standard - and we want to do it all exceptionally well. You’ll collaborate
