Job Description

Talent Sourcing Specialist/Senior Recruitment Consultant (6-Month Fixed-Term Contract)

Location: Redditch

Salary: 40,000 per annum (pro rata)
Contract: 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Start Date: ASAP

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Talent Sourcing Specialist/ Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our team on a 6-month fixed-term contract, supporting a large-scale recruitment campaign within a technical engineering environment.

This is not a traditional recruitment role. We're looking for someone who thrives on sourcing hard-to-find talent, enjoys the challenge of identifying niche engineering professionals, and has the resilience and creativity to build high-quality candidate pipelines through a variety of sourcing methods.

Key Responsibilities -

  • Develop and deliver sourcing strategies for technical and engineering vacancies.
  • Proactively identify and engage passive candidates using a range of sourcing channels.
  • Build and maintain strong talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
  • Spend time on-site initially to gain a thorough understanding of the business, technical roles, competitors, and recruitment requirements.
  • Build strong relationships with Hiring Managers, providing regular updates and market insights.
  • Travel to site regularly to maintain stakeholder relationships and ensure sourcing activity aligns with business priorities.
  • Work closely with the hiring team to support a successful recruitment campaign.

About You -

  • Proven experience in talent sourcing, recruitment, or executive search, ideally within engineering or another technical sector.
  • Strong sourcing skills with experience identifying passive candidates through multiple channels.
  • Confident building relationships with stakeholders and influencing Hiring Managers.
  • Resilient, self-motivated, and able to work proactively with minimal supervision.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Willingness to travel to site regularly as required.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced sourcing specialist who enjoys solving recruitment challenges and making a real impact on business-critical hiring projects.
