Interim Talent Acquisition Partner

Talent Acquisition Partner c£55,000 + Benefits 6-month Fixed-Term Contract | Immediate Start Swindon (Office Based)

Are you a proactive recruiter who enjoys finding great people, building relationships and getting under the skin of specialist markets?

Henlee Resourcing is working with a fantastic business to recruit an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the growth of a new division, identifying and attracting specialist talent for a range of business-critical and project-based appointments.

It's very much a proactive, relationship-led role. You'll need to be comfortable getting out into the market, identifying talent and building relationships with people who may not necessarily be looking for their next move.

Working closely with hiring managers and key stakeholders, you'll take responsibility for the end-to-end recruitment process, from understanding requirements and developing sourcing strategies through to candidate engagement, interviews and offers.

You'll also play an important part in developing longer-term talent pipelines, researching the market and identifying transferable skills from sectors such as engineering, infrastructure, defence, energy and construction.

There will be a strong emphasis on direct sourcing, reducing reliance on recruitment agencies and ensuring the business is well positioned to attract the talent it needs as future projects develop.

You'll be an experienced in-house recruiter, talent acquisition specialist or search professional, with a proven track record of direct sourcing and engaging hard-to-reach candidates. You'll enjoy networking, researching unfamiliar markets and building relationships with people at all levels. You'll also be commercially aware, resilient and confident when working with senior stakeholders.

Experience recruiting within nuclear, engineering, construction, infrastructure, energy or defence would be advantageous, but is by no means essential. What's more important is your ability to source creatively, engage effectively and deliver results.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch with our retained consultant, Andi Drinkwater, for a confidential discussion.

N.B. First interviews are scheduled for w/c 16th November 2026, so early applications are advised. You'll also need to be available to start within the next couple of weeks (the sooner the better!).
