Talent Attraction Lead Chickpea•Salisbury, England, United Kingdom
Talent Attraction LeadUp to £42,000 per annumFull-Time
Chickpea Group
Chickpea is a founder-owned hospitality group based in the South West of England, operating a collection of independent-feeling country pubs
The group’s philosophy is centred on the idea that great pubs are created by great people — with exceptional hospitality, attention to detail and genuine care for guests at the heart of everything.
We're scaling quickly, and our people are what make that possible — which is why we're looking for a Talent Attraction Lead to help us find and hire exceptional talent.
The Role
We're looking for a Talent Attraction Lead to own and evolve our talent acquisition strategy end-to-end. You'll be the driving force behind how we identify, engage, and secure top talent across the business — building a pipeline that keeps pace with our growth while ensuring every candidate has a brilliant experience along the way.
This is a hands-on, strategic role for someone who loves building things from the ground up, thrives on relationships, and knows how to sell a story as well as a role.
What You'll Do
- Own the end-to-end recruitment strategy across the business from role scoping to onboarding stage
- Build and manage a strong, diverse talent pipeline through proactive sourcing, networking, and employer branding
- Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to understand hiring needs and translate them into effective attraction strategies
- Champion our employer brand — crafting compelling job adverts, content, and campaigns that reflect who we are
- Design and continuously improve a candidate experience that's fast, fair, and memorable
- Use data and hiring metrics (time-to-hire, source effectiveness, conversion rates) to refine your approach
- Represent Chickpea at industry events, meetups, and on relevant platforms to build our presence in the hospitality sector
- Support workforce planning conversations, helping the business anticipate future hiring needs
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a talent acquisition, recruitment, or talent attraction role — in-house experience strongly preferred
- A track record of hiring for hospitality roles, ideally within a fast-paced scale-up environment
- Strong sourcing skills and confidence building pipelines from scratch, not just relying on inbound applications
- A natural storyteller who can bring our employer brand and roles to life
- Comfortable working with data to inform decisions and report on hiring performance
- Genuine interest in hospitality — you don't need to be an expert, but curiosity goes a long way
Why Join Us
- The chance to shape talent strategy at a company transforming how the hospitality industry works
- You’ll be joining a collaborative, ambitious team that moves fast and values ownership
