Embedded Defence Recruiter

Embedded Talent Partner / Delivery Consultant – Defence Technology.

UK | Fully Remote or Hybrid

Are you an experienced Technology Recruiter with a background delivering into the Defence, National Security or Aerospace sectors? We're partnering with a rapidly growing talent solutions business that's expanding its Embedded Talent function, supporting some of the UK's most innovative Defence and Deep Tech organisations. This is an opportunity to move away from traditional agency recruitment and become a genuine Talent Partner, embedded within client teams, delivering strategic hiring projects across cutting‑edge technology programmes.

You’ll work as an extension of your client's internal Talent Acquisition team, partnering directly with hiring managers to deliver complex technology recruitment across Defence and National Security. You’ll recruit across disciplines including:

• Software Engineering
• Embedded Software
• Electronics & Hardware
• Cyber Security
• Cloud & Infrastructure
• AI & Machine Learning
• Data Engineering & Data Science
• Dev Ops & Platform Engineering
• Systems Engineering
• Technical Architecture

This is a delivery‑focused role, allowing you to concentrate on hiring exceptional talent without the pressure of cold business development or sales targets.

• Agency recruiters with recent experience recruiting technology professionals into Defence, National Security or Aerospace
• Delivery Consultants, Talent Partners, Embedded Recruiters or experienced 360 Recruiters looking to move into a delivery‑first environment
• Strong experience recruiting for technical positions across software, engineering, cyber or cloud
• Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to operate as a trusted recruitment partner
• Experience working with security‑cleared recruitment or highly regulated environments would be highly advantageous

• Delivering embedded recruitment solutions within Defence technology organisations
• Managing end‑to‑end recruitment across multiple technical disciplines
• Building strong relationships with hiring managers and technical stakeholders
• Driving outstanding candidate experience and hiring quality
• Supporting strategic hiring projects and business growth
• Acting as a trusted extension of each client's internal Talent Acquisition function

• Fully remote working, with hybrid opportunities available for senior hires
• Permanent, contract and freelance engagement options
• Salary up to £70,000 (pro rata where applicable)
• Competitive commission and performance bonus
• Long‑term client partnerships with leading Defence and National Security organisations
• The opportunity to recruit for genuinely cutting‑edge technology programmes
• A collaborative, delivery‑led environment where quality is valued over KPIs

Due to the specialist nature of these projects, applicants must have recent agency recruitment experience delivering technology roles within Defence, National Security or Aerospace
. Applications without recent experience recruiting technical talent into these sectors will unfortunately not be progressed. If you're looking to move away from sales and into a genuine embedded talent role while continuing to recruit within Defence technology, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
