Desired Candidate Profile

Several years of experience running full cycle recruitment, either in-house or agency side, across a range of business or corporate functions. Proven ability to source and win specialist and hard to fill talent, not simply screen inbound applicants. Strong credibility and communication skills to engage senior leaders as a trusted advisor. A structured, evidence based approach to assessing talent, with the discipline to back hiring decisions with data and process, not just instinct. Financial services recruitment experience is a plus, though not essential.
