Talent Acquisition Partner - Group Exercise

We’re growing fast at Third Space, and our Talent Acquisition team is evolving to support that growth. We’re now looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to take full ownership of attraction, selection and assessment of our Group Exercise function. The Group Exercise team accounts for approximately 1/3 of our workforce, includes a large population of freelance and employed instructors, Group Exercise Managers and central specialists. As we grow, we need to adapt and scale our recruitment processes to ensure our members have an unforgettable group exercise experience every time they visit our club.

In March we held over 16,000 group exercise classes across 14 clubs. From Reformer Pilates to Hyrox simulations, our studios are designed to support an industry‑leading class timetable. Over the next few years, we will double our estate while continuing to invest in our existing clubs, creating significant opportunities to attract, develop, and retain outstanding Group Exercise talent at scale.

This is an individual contributor role, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys working closely with senior stakeholders, and brings strategic thinking and a growth mindset to every stage of the hiring process.

What you’ll do:

• Own end‑to‑end recruitment for all Group Exercise roles, delivering a seamless, inclusive, and high‑quality hiring experience.
• Partner with senior leaders to understand operational needs and design proactive, insight‑led hiring strategies.
• Champion structured, evidence‑based selection processes that support fair and effective hiring decisions.
• Use a range of sourcing channels and employer branding initiatives to attract top talent and build strong pipelines.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, providing market insights, strategic guidance, and challenge where needed.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure alignment, quality, and efficiency in recruitment delivery.
• Ensure recruitment processes are compliant, consistent, and aligned with internal policies and external regulations.
• Maintain accurate reporting and ATS data to support transparency, decision‑making, and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the development of the TA function by mentoring peers and driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with People and Operations teams to ensure a cohesive employee journey from hire to onboarding.
• Support benchmarking and external insights for Group Exercise roles in partnership with the Head of Reward.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience owning volume recruitment – ideally in a multi‑site environment in hospitality, leisure, retail, or fitness.
• Strong stakeholder management skills - you’re confident influencing senior leaders and shaping hiring decisions.
• Skilled in both reactive and proactive sourcing, with “bigger picture” thinking and not just the role being hired at the time.
• Deep understanding of leadership competencies and assessment methodologies.
• Strong negotiation skills, particularly in offer management and stakeholder alignment.
• Commercially minded, data‑led, and proactive in how roles are marketed and sourced.
• Emotionally intelligent, collaborative, and confident navigating complex hiring scenarios.

What you’ll get from us:

• Autonomy and ownership in a strategic, high‑impact role.
• A collaborative, high‑trust culture where your voice is heard and your expertise is valued.
• Opportunities to grow your career as part of a forward‑thinking People Team.
• Access to our world‑class clubs and wellness offerings.
