HR & Talent Acquisition Manager

We are seeking an experienced and highly organised HR & Talent Acquisition Manager to support our global operations and take ownership of day-to-day HR administration and recruitment across the business.

Reporting directly to the Chief Corporate Services Officer, this is a hands-on role requiring someone who is equally comfortable maintaining accurate employee records and HR documentation as they are managing an end-to-end recruitment process.

The successful candidate will act as a central point of coordination for HR and recruitment matters across the Group, working closely with senior management to understand hiring requirements, identify high-quality candidates and ensure that our HR records, documentation and processes remain organised, accurate and up to date.

*Key Responsibilities*

Talent Acquisition & Recruitment:

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle across multiple functions, seniority levels and geographical locations.
• Liaise directly with senior management and hiring managers to understand current and upcoming recruitment requirements.
• Draft professional and commercially appropriate job descriptions, job specifications and candidate profiles.
• Identify the most appropriate recruitment channels for each vacancy.
• Advertise roles across relevant job boards, LinkedIn and other recruitment platforms.
• Proactively headhunt and approach suitable candidates, rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Review applications and CVs and conduct initial candidate screening.
• Prepare high-quality candidate shortlists for hiring managers.
• Conduct initial screening interviews where appropriate.
• Coordinate interviews between candidates and senior team members across different locations and time zones.
• Manage candidate communication throughout the recruitment process, ensuring a professional candidate experience.
• Obtain references and supporting documentation where required.
• Assist with preparation of offers, employment documentation and onboarding.
• Maintain an accurate recruitment tracker covering all live vacancies, candidates, interview stages, offers and outcomes.
• Develop and maintain a strong pipeline of potential candidates for future requirements.

*Global HR Administration*

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date personnel files and employee records across the Group.
• Ensure all required HR forms, contracts, identification documents and supporting documentation are properly completed, filed and maintained.
• Maintain central records of employment contracts, consultancy agreements, amendments, salary changes, probation periods, notice periods and other key employment information.
• Monitor important HR dates including probation reviews, contract renewals, visa/work permit expiries and other employee-related deadlines.
• Prepare and maintain HR templates, forms, letters and standard documentation.
• Assist with the preparation of employment contracts, offer letters, amendments, salary increase letters and other HR correspondence.
• Coordinate employee onboarding and offboarding documentation and processes.
• Ensure new joiner files are complete and all required documentation has been obtained prior to or shortly following commencement.
• Maintain employee leave and absence records where applicable.
• Assist with HR reporting and preparation of employee information requested by senior management.
• Maintain strict confidentiality regarding employee, candidate, compensation and company information.
• Support the Chief Corporate Services Officer with wider HR and people-related matters as required.

The successful candidate will be a highly organised, proactive HR and recruitment professional who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, international business.

This role requires someone who does not need to be heavily managed. They should be capable of taking a recruitment requirement from a senior manager and independently progressing it from job specification and candidate sourcing through to interview coordination and offer stage.

They must also have a strong administrative mindset and understand that accurate HR records, documentation and follow-up are an essential part of the role.

*Essential Experience & Skills*

• Previous professional experience across both Human Resources and Recruitment/Talent Acquisition is essential.
• Demonstrable experience managing end-to-end recruitment.
• Strong experience proactively sourcing and headhunting candidates.
• Experience using LinkedIn and other recruitment/job advertising platforms.
• Ability to assess CVs effectively and identify strong candidates against a specific brief.
• Experience drafting job descriptions and candidate specifications.
• Strong HR administration and employee records management experience.
• Experience handling confidential and sensitive employee information.
• Excellent organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Confident communicating with senior executives and hiring managers.
• Ability to manage multiple vacancies and HR priorities simultaneously.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook.
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of tasks from start to completion.

*Preferred*

• Experience supporting employees and recruitment across multiple countries or jurisdictions.
• Experience working within a group of companies or international organisation.
• Experience recruiting across a range of corporate, commercial, technical and senior-level positions.
• Experience working directly with C-suite or senior executive management.
• Familiarity with HR systems, recruitment platforms and applicant tracking systems.
