At Harnham, we don't recruit for every market. We build specialist recruitment teams dedicated to Data, Analytics, AI and Technology, helping some of the world's most innovative organisations hire the talent shaping the future.

As our US business continues to grow, we're looking for a Head of Internal Recruitment to lead the attraction, hiring and development of the recruiters who power that growth.

This isn't a traditional corporate Talent Acquisition role. You'll be responsible for attracting and hiring recruitment consultants, managers and future leaders across our specialist Data & AI recruitment teams, whilst developing a best-in-class campus and early careers strategy to ensure a sustainable pipeline of talent for years to come.

This role combines experienced recruiter hiring, leadership recruitment, employer branding, talent development and university engagement, giving the successful person genuine influence over the future direction of our US business.

Reporting into the Head of People, you'll lead internal recruitment across our US business, partnering closely with senior stakeholders to support ambitious growth plans.

You'll play a key role in defining how we attract experienced recruiters, develop future talent and build a sustainable pipeline of high performers across the business.

This role offers genuine visibility, influence and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the growth of a market-leading recruitment organization.

One of the most important aspects of this role will be creating and delivering Harnham's US early careers and campus recruitment strategy.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Develop partnerships with universities and colleges across key US markets.
• Design innovative attraction campaigns for graduates and early career talent.
• Build talent communities and long-term recruitment pipelines.
• Create assessment, selection and onboarding processes.
• Ensure Harnham remains an employer of choice for ambitious, high-potential graduates looking to build careers in recruitment.
