Job Description & How to Apply Below
A Global Media Group is hiring for its Internal TA Executive Search function, which focuses on Senior Appointments and C-suite hires. The role works directly with the Head of Talent Acquisition.
It combines four disciplines in one position: talent sourcing, talent research, people analytics and talent intelligence. Candidates need experience across all four, ideally gained in an executive search firm or an internal talent function.
The work is proactive, not reactive. It centers on market intelligence and talent mapping: identifying senior talent before a vacancy is live, building an internal pipeline for critical capabilities, and reducing the group’s reliance on external search firms.
Responsibilities- Market intelligence: act as the subject matter expert on the talent landscape, monitoring industry trends, competitor news, and M&A activity to anticipate talent movement.
- Talent mapping: map competitor organisations and adjacent industries, breaking down team structures and identifying key people within target departments.
- Long listing: build long lists for niche and critical roles, with a diverse pool of "ready now" and "ready later" candidates.
- Competitor analysis: examine how competitors are structured, where senior talent is moving and why, and give the TA team and business leaders insight they can act on.
- Strategic sourcing: find passive talent beyond job boards through social platforms, networking and advanced Boolean techniques.
- Cost reduction: target roles previously outsourced to agencies and show the return on bringing headhunting capability in-house.
- Experience across talent sourcing, talent research, people analytics and talent intelligence, ideally from an executive search firm or an internal talent function.
- Expertise in talent mapping and market mapping.
- Advanced use of Linked In Recruiter and market intelligence tools.
- Ability to turn complex data and organisation charts into simple, visual reports for stakeholders.
- An interest in headhunting and engaging passive senior talent.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach, with ideas to improve research and sourcing.
- Strong communication, internally and with external talent.
- Experience of Greenhouse and Workday is desirable.
