You’ll be joining the G&A Sourcing team. We focus on nuanced, highly competitive hiring where success comes from proactive market mapping and engaging passive talent rather than relying on inbound applications.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Design and execute structured sourcing strategies including talent segmentation and market mapping to ensure at least 20% of hires come from proactive sourcing.

• Act as a trusted advisor to Directors and senior leaders, using market insight and data to influence hiring strategies and challenge assumptions.

• Drive data-driven delivery by tracking pipeline health and conversion rates to identify bottlenecks and refine your sourcing approach.

• Engage high-level passive talent through personalised outreach and storytelling, ensuring a premium candidate experience from first touch to offer.

• Maintain operational excellence and tool innovation, leveraging ATS tools (Ashby) and AI-driven sourcing technologies to enhance talent identification and efficiency.

Essential

• Significant sourcing experience gained in-house, within executive search, or a high-performing agency environment.

• Proven track record of senior-level hiring, specifically partnering with Director and VP-level stakeholders to fill Associate to Senior Manager roles.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to advise credibly on talent availability, competitor landscapes, and compensation.

• Highly data-driven approach, with a demonstrated ability to use insights to improve pipeline performance and hiring outcomes.

• Advanced proficiency with modern sourcing tools, including experience using AI to improve efficiency and a strong understanding of the UK G&A talent market.

• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity effectively, taking ownership and using initiative to drive work forward and deliver results.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience using Ashby (ATS) or Workday.

• Experience working within a high-growth technology or marketplace environment.
