The Role
We have a strong talent acquisition function in place, built and led by an experienced specialist. This role has been created to pair with that person — bringing additional capacity, a complementary perspective, and genuine shared ownership of both staff and senior hiring.
You will join a small, close-knit TA team, operating as genuine partners — sharing work, going to market together, and jointly shaping hiring across all levels.
Working closely with the CPO, you will cover the full hiring lifecycle from Senior Associate through to Director level, with an active role in our senior Partner pipeline. You will have direct access to the CEO, Chair, and Partners.
What You Will Do
Build and manage the pipeline
Design and run proactive sourcing strategies across LinkedIn, networking, and direct outreach
Develop structured talent maps for priority roles and maintain warm pipelines of high-calibre candidates
Use data and tooling — including AI-enabled sourcing tools — to enrich candidate intelligence and reduce time-to-shortlist
Actively support Partner and Director searches: owning sourcing, candidate engagement, and process coordination
Run an excellent process
Manage end-to-end recruitment from Senior Associate to Director level, ensuring a consistent, high-quality candidate experience
Brief hiring managers and Partners effectively — hold timelines, feedback loops, and decisions with discipline
Continuously improve role briefs, interview frameworks, and assessment approaches
Improve the infrastructure
Manage and optimise the ATS and supporting hiring infrastructure as the firm scales
Track meaningful hiring metrics: time to hire, pipeline conversion, source quality, offer acceptance
Develop playbooks and templates that make the process more repeatable and scalable
Strengthen the employer brand
Represent Unity credibly in the market at every candidate touchpoint
Support employer brand initiatives including content, events, and referral programmes
Act as an ambassador for Unity's culture and Ownership Model
What We Are Looking For
Experience
5–8 years of talent acquisition experience, either in-house within professional services (Big Four, mid-tier, or boutique advisory) or as a specialist agency recruiter placing into finance/professional services
Deep knowledge of at least one of: Deals and Financial Due Diligence (FDD), Office of the CFO / Finance Transformation, or Tax
Proven track record of sourcing and securing strong hires at Manager to Director level in high-calibre environments

Experience improving hiring processes in a scaling environment
Skills and approach

Strong relationship builder across candidates, hiring managers, and senior Partners
Clear and direct communicator, written and verbal
Commercially aware: you understand why hiring decisions matter to a PE-backed business
Comfortable with data — used to improve, not just report
Mindset
Genuinely collaborative — comfortable sharing workload and building something jointly
High ownership: you see a gap and close it, without being asked twice
Low ego: you share credit freely and focus on what is right for the firm
Honest and direct: candid feedback to candidates and hiring managers alike
Curious about talent practice — not just filling roles, but building something
What Unity Offers
A close, collaborative TA team — shared ownership of both staff and senior hiring from day one
Direct access to the CEO, Chair, and Partners
Genuine scope to shape how talent acquisition works at a scaling PE-backed firm
A culture that is high-standards without being political, and ambitious without being transactional
The opportunity to work alongside exceptional people who take their craft seriously
