Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist (6 Month FTC) in Leicester

We’re looking for a high‑performing Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our team on a 6‑month FTC, with a core focus on Consulting recruitment. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role where you’ll take ownership of hiring across a specialist area, working closely with senior stakeholders to shape hiring strategies and directly source top talent. You’ll be joining a well‑structured TA function of five, where each recruiter owns a business area, giving you real accountability and visibility. This role will play a critical part in maintaining momentum within Consulting, with the flexibility to support other areas of the business when required.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of end‑to‑end recruitment across Consulting roles, from initial briefing through to offer and onboarding.
• Partner closely with senior stakeholders to understand business priorities, challenge thinking where needed, and shape effective hiring strategies.
• Lead detailed role scoping sessions to ensure clarity on requirements, success profiles, and market positioning.
• Proactively headhunt and map talent in competitive markets, building strong pipelines of high‑quality, often passive candidates.
• Use a range of sourcing techniques (LinkedIn, networking, referrals, market mapping, AI tools) to identify and engage top talent.
• Manage multiple vacancies simultaneously, delivering at pace while maintaining a high bar for quality.
• Act as a brand ambassador for Bellrock, delivering a professional, engaging, and consistent candidate experience.
• Provide real‑time market insight, including talent availability, competitor activity, and salary benchmarking.
• Drive an efficient and structured interview and selection process, ensuring a positive experience for both candidates and hiring managers.
• Track and report on recruitment activity, using data to inform decisions and continuously improve performance.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, tools, and ways of working within the TA function.
• Flexibly support hiring across other areas of the business when demand requires.

Skills & Experience

• A proven recruiter from either agency or in‑house, with a strong track record of delivery.
• Confident head‑hunter with the ability to identify, engage, and convert passive talent.
• Strong stakeholder management skills – able to influence, challenge, and build credibility quickly.
• Experience recruiting within Consulting or professional services is highly advantageous.
• Commercially minded with a focus on outcomes and delivery.
• Strong use of data, tools, and technology to enhance recruitment effectiveness.
• Experience using AI tools to drive efficiency and improve recruitment outcomes.
