• Experience building talent pipelines for future needs and maintaining long-term relationships with high-potential candidates.

Flexible Work Considerations:


• This role is designed with flexibility in mind, offering a degree of adaptability in how work is performed. While some remote work may be possible, the expectation is that the majority of working time will be spent in the office. This structure ensures strong collaboration, effective teamwork, and alignment with business needs.


• We believe in the value of in-person interactions to foster innovation, problem-solving, and a strong workplace culture. Therefore, the ideal candidate should be comfortable working predominantly from our office while benefiting from occasional flexibility when needed.


• Strong self-management and time-management skills are essential.


• Must have a reliable internet connection and a suitable home office setup.


• Regular virtual meetings and communication with team members across different time zones.


• Flexibility to accommodate occasional travel for team meetings or company events.

About us:


• We help ambitious businesses overcome complex challenges and achieve great things.


• We create impactful solutions delivered by passionate people who care deeply about quality.


• We make the first version the best version and conduct ourselves with integrity and honesty.


• Our refreshing approach to consulting, which involves a deep understanding of our client's unique challenges, a collaborative problem- solving process, and a commitment to delivering practical and sustainable solutions, has rewarded us with a legacy of client confidence and trust, fueling our vision to become one of the most highly valued consulting firms. We focus on delivering real impact; tangible and measurable improvement that gets our clients the results they want, achieved in a human, genuine and practical way that creates trust.


• Our people have the freedom to think innovatively, work autonomously, and be empowered to make their own decisions, whilst working in a collaborative and supportive environment. Our team has decades of cross-sector expertise, working with global blue chips, SMEs, ambitious scale-ups, and inspiring charities. Alongside that experience, we bring the right attitude: positivity, solution focus, empathy, and awareness.


• As a Talent Specialist, you will play a critical role in scaling our teams by attracting and recruiting top-tier talent. You'll partner closely with hiring managers, understand the nuances of our business needs, and identify candidates who will thrive within our culture.
