Job Description & How to Apply Below

Looking for a flexible, home-based TA role where you can operate as a true partner — not just fill roles?

This is an embedded, in-house-style Talent Acquisition position — working closely with consulting leaders to design and deliver high-quality hiring processes from start to finish.

You’ll act as a trusted extension of your clients’ leadership teams — owning hiring end-to-end and ensuring every campaign reflects their standards, brand and long-term ambitions.

It’s strategic.

It’s relationship-led.

And it’s built on quality - not volume.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a specialist people advisory firm that partners with ambitious consulting and professional services businesses.

Rather than recruiting at arm’s length, you’ll embed yourself into client organisations — understanding their commercial priorities, culture and growth plans — and building structured, rigorous hiring processes that deliver lasting results.

You’ll work directly with founders and senior leaders who value thoughtful talent decisions and evidence-based recommendations.

This is in-house depth — across multiple high-performing businesses.

What You’ll Be Responsible For
  • Partnering with senior stakeholders to define roles and hiring strategy
  • Conducting structured research and targeted direct sourcing
  • Writing clear, compelling role briefs and adverts
  • Designing and running structured selection processes
  • Interviewing and assessing senior candidates
  • Providing evidence-based recommendations
  • Coordinating stakeholders and maintaining delivery cadence
  • Acting as a brand ambassador throughout the candidate journey

You won’t be passing CVs across the fence.

You’ll be shaping hiring outcomes.

Who This Role Will Suit
  • Experienced in-house Talent Acquisition professionals who want more variety
  • Recruiters who enjoy stakeholder partnership and structured hiring
  • Professionals who value quality, rigour and credibility
  • Those seeking flexibility without compromising on senior exposure

You’ll need:

  • 3–4+ years’ experience recruiting senior professional roles
  • Essential: experience within management consulting or professional/advisory services
  • Strong direct sourcing capability
  • Excellent written communication
  • High attention to detail
  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders
  • Comfort managing multiple concurrent campaigns

If you prefer high-volume, reactive recruitment — this won’t be the right fit.

Working Pattern
  • Fully remote / home-based
  • Flexible working culture
  • Part-time considered (4 days per week or school hours contract)
  • Permanent role

This is an outcomes-focused environment built on trust and professionalism.

Package
  • £45,000–£55,000 FTE (depending on experience)
  • Structured bonus scheme linked to business contribution
  • Private healthcare
  • Pension
  • Mobile allowance
Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and transparent culture. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and advocate for inclusive recruitment practices in everything we do.

If you need adjustments at any stage of the process, just let us know.
