Role Overview

We are seeking a Talent Sourcer to support an in-house recruitment function by identifying and researching suitable candidates across the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands. This is a research-heavy sourcing role, focused on proactively identifying talent rather than full-cycle recruitment.

The successful candidate will work closely with an internal recruiter to build candidate pipelines in a highly competitive labour market, primarily within the real estate consulting sector.

  • Conduct market and talent research within the real estate and built environment sectors

  • Provide accurate candidate information, availability, and market insights to the in-house recruiter

  • Map talent pools for niche and specialist roles across multiple European regions

  • Support sourcing for additional roles (e.g. administrative or support functions) as business needs evolve

  • Maintain organised records of sourced candidates and research findings

Roles Typically Sourced

  • Surveyors

  • Engineers

  • ESG Consultants

  • Project Managers

  • Technical and Built Environment Specialists

(Note: This is not a construction company, but works closely with construction professionals on development, refurbishment, and real estate projects.)

Industry Background

The organisation operates as an independent real estate consultancy, working with owners, occupiers, developers, and funders to maximise asset value and returns. The business operates across 20 offices in Germany, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK, employing approximately 500 professionals across Europe.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in talent sourcing, research, or recruitment support

  • Strong LinkedIn sourcing and Boolean search skills

  • Ability to research and understand technical and specialist roles

  • Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills

  • Comfortable working remotely and across multiple European markets

  • Strong written communication skills in English

Desirable Experience

  • Experience sourcing within real estate, property, engineering, or built environment sectors

  • Familiarity with tight or candidate-short labour markets

  • Experience supporting in-house or embedded recruitment teams
