Our client, a fast-growing, global management consultancy at the forefront of change in a range of industries, is looking for a passionate and accomplished Talent Acquisition Specialist to support them on an interim basis.
As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll lead the full-cycle recruitment process from discovery to onboarding. This is a high-touch, high-impact role ideal for someone who thrives on building strong relationships, consulting with hiring managers, and creating a seamless and thoughtful candidate experience.

- Write compelling, tailored job descriptions by extracting nuanced information from hiring teams
- Source candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, networks, and proactive headhunting
- Conduct initial screens and guide candidates through the interview journey
- Attend and support in both virtual and in-person interviews to ensure rigor and alignment
- Coach and guide hiring managers through candidate evaluation and ranking
- Provide thoughtful follow-up and probing questions to dig deeper into candidate fit
- Utilize Predictive Index tools for behavioral and cognitive assessments
- Promote best practices in recruitment strategy, candidate experience, and interview structure
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure a consistent and impactful hiring process
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of recruitment experience (a mix of agency and in-house), preferably in professional services, tech, or high-growth environments, focused on highly complex, technical and scientific roles
- Comfortable managing multiple complex searches simultaneously and focusing on landing high quality hires
- Highly consultative, confident in guiding and coaching, hiring managers at all levels
- Passionate about recruitment-not just filling roles, but finding the perfect fit
- Gravitas and strong leadership presence-you inspire confidence and elevate the process
- Familiarity with behavioral and cognitive assessments (Predictive Index experience a bonus)
