What the role involves:

At MAG, our airports never really stand still - and neither does the hiring that supports them. Airports are busy, complex environments and the range of roles you’ll recruit for reflects that - from frontline operational teams keeping passengers moving, to specialist and corporate functions behind the scenes. This role is about managing recruitment at pace, across a wide mix of roles, using a consultative and business partnering approach. You’ll work across several business areas at London Stansted Airport, many of which rely on high-volume hiring to keep things moving day to day. You’ll own recruitment end-to-end. That includes planning with hiring managers, attracting candidates, running fair and consistent selection processes, and making sure people have a good experience from first contact through to day one. You’ll also play a part in improving how we hire – making it simpler, more consistent and something we can be proud of.

You'll be responsible for:

• Managing a high volume of vacancies across multiple business areas
• Partnering with hiring managers to understand demand, particularly for volume and frontline roles
• Planning for peak hiring periods and building pipelines so we’re ready when it matters
• Running structured, fair and inclusive assessment and selection processes
• Keeping candidates informed and engaged throughout - even when we’re busy
• Managing offers and supporting onboarding to help people settle in well
• Using data to track progress and identify where things can be improved
• Supporting and developing a Talent Acquisition Coordinator
• Working closely with TA Operations to keep processes consistent and efficient

What will make you successful in the role?

• Experience managing high-volume recruitment, ideally in fast-paced or operational environments
• Confidence handling multiple roles and priorities at the same time
• Strong stakeholder skills - able to influence, challenge and support hiring managers
• A practical approach to recruitment - focusing on what works rather than overcomplicating things
• A good understanding of sourcing, assessment and inclusive hiring practices
• The ability to stay organised and keep momentum, even when demand is high
