As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you will be working as part of a cutting-edge in-house Talent Acquisition Function. You will be responsible for delivering Talent Acquisition solutions in partnership with the Hiring Manager and Talent Acquisition Lead to proactively identify and fill vacancies with talented individuals with the right capability and skills in a fast-paced challenging market.

This will involve proactive activity, developing and executing sourcing plans, building talent pipelines, conducting direct sourcing activity, research, screening, interviewing, pre-selecting, offer management and managing the hiring administration process.

Collating feedback and providing hiring metrics and data analytics on performance and reporting to identify areas for continuous improvement will also be key in this role.

Most importantly we are looking for an experienced recruiter who will have proven experience sourcing talent using various channels and thinking outside the box to go above and beyond expectations. Strong communication skills and proven senior stakeholder management a must. You will possess excellent persuading and influencing skills with a customer focused and results orientated approach



What you'll get in return
In return, you will be working as part of a cutting-edge in-house Talent Acquisition Function for a global pharmaceutical company based in the heart of Cambridge and this is a great opportunity to engage, inspire, persuade and influence at a senior level. There is a great development opportunity for this role as you will be exposed to multiple Business Units, from Oncology to Medical Affairs.

The remuneration is competitive from £250 to £300 a day for exceptional candidates. Working from home to start for this 6-month contract, with the view that you will be working onsite at some point 3-4 days a week, can be Luton or Cambridge.
