Talent Acquisition Team Leader

Role purpose

This role is a 50/50 split between hands-on recruitment and day-to-day team leadership. You will personally manage a full lifecycle requisition load for Corporate Services and/or Technology roles while simultaneously leading, coaching, and holding a team of Corporate Services and Technology Talent Acquisition Managers accountable. The core mission is to raise the bar on delivery, drive operational excellence, and use first-hand market insights to build a sharper, more resilient recruiting function.

Key responsibilities

1. Hands-On Technology/Corporate Services Recruitment

• Manage the full recruitment cycle for a personal load of senior Corporate Services and/or Technology roles, from sourcing to onboarding.
• Maintain personal pipeline velocity and hiring metrics to the same standard required of the team.

2. Team Leadership & Executional Excellence

• Lead and coach a team of Tech and Corporate Services Talent Acquisition Managers to ensure consistent delivery against hiring targets.
• Run daily and weekly cadences including pipeline reviews, requisition prioritization, and blocker removal.
• Define clear performance expectations, monitor output, and address underperformance constructively.
• Step in to assist with difficult searches, stakeholder calls, and co-sourcing for hard-to-fill roles.

3. Team Capacity Building

• Deliver targeted coaching on sourcing, candidate engagement, objection handling, and stakeholder management.
• Plan team capacity and balance requisition allocation based on role complexity and recruiter strengths.
• Build cross-coverage frameworks to protect delivery against workload spikes or team attrition.

4. Market Reality & Insights

• Provide real-time market intelligence on tech talent availability, salary benchmarks, and competitor hiring patterns.
• Partner with hiring managers to align expectations around timelines, remote working, and tech stacks for faster decision-making.

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of TA experience with people leadership exposure in-house or in executive search.
• Proven track record of personally filling senior Technology and/or Corporate Services roles.
• Confident building relationships with Hiring Managers and challenging briefs using market data.
• Experience running team cadences like pipeline reviews, requisition prioritization, and performance tracking.
• Skilled at coaching recruiters, identifying skill gaps, and constructively managing underperformance.
• High standards for ATS data hygiene, interview rigor, candidate communication, and offer management.
• Hands-on approach, comfortable carrying personal tech requisitions while leading a team.
• Fluent English.

What we offer

• Competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.
• Flexibility that fits your life: you can work from home, from our office, or a mix of both. You decide what works best.
• Flexible benefits package: choose the options that suit your life, not a one-size-fits-all bundle.
• A genuinely good place to work with an informal, collaborative culture where ideas are heard and bureaucracy stays out of your way.
• Continuous learning, education programs, and the support to deepen your expertise in a fast-moving industry.
• Connection beyond your desk through events that bring our teams together to network and celebrate.
• Global exposure: work side by side with talented colleagues from all over the world, across a business serving clients in 100+ countries.
