We’re partnering with a well-established and highly respected business in Telford that is redefining how talent is discovered, engaged, and hired. This isn’t about posting a vacancy and waiting for applications. This is about proactively engaging exceptional people, building powerful talent pipelines, and making your mark on a company that values innovation, energy, and authenticity.

In this role, you will build a database of best-in-class talent in accordance with the HR plan and recruitment strategy, engaging talent through various social media channels, job boards, and professional networks. If you are considering a new chapter in your career in Talent Acquisition, it’s your chance to transform the recruitment strategy at an ambitious, forward-thinking organisation that’s ready to grow, evolve, and lead.

Why This Role Is Exceptional:

• High Impact: You’ll lead in revamping our recruitment strategy and talent engagement process.
• Autonomy & Influence: Work closely with leadership to shape how we attract, evaluate, and retain the best.
• Cutting-Edge Tools: Leverage the latest recruitment tech and platforms to enhance outreach and efficiency.
• Fantastic Culture: We believe in meaningful work, honest values, and a collaborative environment that rewards initiative.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Strategically build and nurture a network of top-tier candidates aligned with long-term business goals.
• Use social platforms, job boards, and direct outreach to engage both active and passive talent.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand needs deeply—not just technical fit, but team chemistry and future potential.
• Sell the vision—confidently promote our company, values, and opportunities to candidates at every level.
• Spot red flags early and ensure a smooth, positive candidate experience from start to finish. Handle potential counteroffer situations at the earliest possible stage.
• Use data to improve decision-making, refine sourcing strategies, and boost retention.
• Lead headhunting efforts for specialist and senior roles using your deep industry contacts.
• Ensure all recruitment activity complies with legislation including right to work, GDPR, Visa for working abroad, and IR35.

What You Bring:

• Proven success in talent acquisition, ideally in engineering, manufacturing, or technical sectors.
• A charismatic personality with a passion for people and a strong instinct for quality hires.
• Experience sourcing passive candidates and delivering high-calibre hires in competitive markets.
• Knowledge of UK employment law and best practices in inclusive recruitment.
• Entrepreneurial mindset—you’re curious, creative, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.
• A dependable, self-driven approach with the flexibility to adapt and thrive in a fast-moving environment.

The application process:

Our mission is to support our clients in creating an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce. We are committed to providing a barrier-free recruitment process. If you require any reasonable accessibility adjustments within the application process, please make it known at the earliest opportunity.

We will carefully consider your details and advise you if we’re able to progress with your application within 72 working hours.

In the meantime, best wishes and continued success in your job search.
