Talent Acquisition Specialist (Global)

About The Role

At QCIC, we’re building the future of global security engineering—and we’re looking for a talented Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us do it. This is more than a recruitment role; it’s a unique opportunity to shape how we attract and hire top talent across our international hubs. With plans to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 as our new ATS, you’ll step into a role where you can make an immediate and meaningful impact—refining processes, enhancing candidate experience, and bringing data‑driven recruitment to life. If you have experience with Dynamics 365 (or a passion for systems and optimisation), this is your chance to leave your mark in a fast‑growing, globally connected business.

Location: London, UK | Salary: Competitive | Contract: Permanent | Hours: Full‑time

• Data Migration: Oversee migration of historical candidate and vacancy data into Dynamics, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and minimal disruption.
• Performance Reporting: Build dashboards and reports to track time‑to‑hire, pipeline health, recruiter performance, and candidate experience metrics.
• Process Mapping: Analyse current recruitment workflows and translate them into optimised, automated processes within Dynamics.
• Support general HR operations, providing cover for core HR activities as needed across the employee lifecycle.
• Assist with onboarding processes, ensuring new joiner documentation, systems setup, and induction activities are completed to a high standard.
• Contribute to HR projects and initiatives, such as process improvements, system enhancements, and people‑related programmes.
• Collaborate closely with the HR team, ensuring alignment between recruitment, onboarding, and wider people activities.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven Talent Acquisition experience in an in‑house or high‑growth environment, managing end‑to‑end recruitment processes.
• Experience partnering with senior stakeholders and hiring managers to define hiring needs and influence decision‑making.
• Strong sourcing capability, with a track record of proactively identifying and engaging high‑quality candidates across multiple channels.
• Hands‑on experience with an ATS, ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 (or similar systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever), with confidence in using data and reporting to drive decisions.
• Experience supporting recruitment across multiple regions or geographies (global or multi‑site exposure preferred).
