Talent Acquisition Manager

Delighted to be working with a high-growth, highly ambitious organisation in Newcastle that's looking to appoint a Talent Acquisition Manager to build and lead their hiring strategy.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast paced, high performance environment and wants to play a key role in shaping how a business attracts and retains top talent.

This is a hands on and strategic position, where you'll take ownership of the full recruitment lifecycle while partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading end to end recruitment, from initial brief through to onboarding
• Designing and delivering direct sourcing strategies to attract high quality candidates
• Acting as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and leadership teams
• Managing and optimising relationships with external agencies
• Developing and scaling graduate and early careers programmes
• Using data and insights to continuously improve hiring performance
• Driving diversity & inclusion initiatives within hiring practices
• Leading and developing junior team members

I'm keen to speak with candidates who bring:

• Strong experience in talent acquisition or recruitment leadership roles
• A track record of working in high performance or fast paced environments
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Experience managing agency partners and sourcing strategies
• A data driven mindset with the ability to use recruitment metrics effectively
• A proactive, solutions focused approach with strong attention to detail

What really makes this opportunity stand out is the chance to:

• Make a genuine impact from day one in a growing organisation
• Help shape and build recruitment strategy from the ground up
• Work alongside high calibre, driven professionals
• Be part of a culture that values collaboration, curiosity, and ownership
• Access strong opportunities for career growth and development
