Talent Partner – Technical Education & Training

Location: Fareham (onsite)

Salary: £26,400 – £30,000pa

Commission: £300/placement. No threshold & no cap

This isn’t just a CV-finding role.

We’re growing our Technical Education & Training team and looking for a Talent Partner to take ownership of candidate delivery across some of our most important client relationships.

You’ll work directly alongside our Head of Technical Education & Training, supporting clients across Engineering, Construction, Rail and Defence.

This is a delivery-focused recruitment role - but we want someone who can do far more than search a database and send CVs.

You’ll own the candidate side of the recruitment lifecycle: understanding the brief, mapping the market, engaging the right people, qualifying candidates properly, managing interviews and keeping the process moving through to offer and placement.

Ultimately, your job is simple:

Make sure our clients get access to the best talent in their market - and give candidates a brilliant experience along the way.

What you'll be doing

You'll become the delivery engine behind a busy, established recruitment desk.

You'll:

• Partner with our Head of Technical Education & Training on live vacancies and client requirements
• Take detailed job briefs and understand exactly what “good” looks like for each hire
• Build talent pools across Engineering, Construction, Rail and Energy
• Proactively headhunt and engage passive candidates
• Use LinkedIn, job boards, our CRM and your own network to identify talent
• Qualify candidates properly - skills, experience, motivations, salary, location and career goals
• Present high-quality, well-matched shortlists rather than simply sending CVs
• Manage candidates throughout the full recruitment process
• Coordinate interviews, feedback, offers and pre-employment stages
• Keep candidates engaged and processes moving
• Build long-term relationships with great people in your market
• Develop a genuine understanding of the sectors and roles you recruit into
• Work closely with the wider FIND team to deliver an outstanding service to our clients

What we're looking for

You don't need years of recruitment experience.

We're ideally looking for someone with around 6–12 months' experience in recruitment, resourcing, talent acquisition or candidate delivery who is ready for more responsibility.

More importantly, you'll be someone who:

• Loves speaking to people and building relationships
• Is naturally organised and good at managing multiple processes
• Takes pride in the quality of their work
• Can qualify rather than simply keyword-match
• Is comfortable picking up the phone and approaching candidates
• Has strong written and verbal communication skills
• Moves quickly without sacrificing quality
• Wants to properly understand a market and become credible within it
• Enjoys being part of a high-performing team

The package

• £26400 - £30000pa
• £300 commission per placement (no threshold & no cap)
• 30 days leave + bank holidays
• Private Healthcare after probation period (up to 6 months)
• Clear progression routes in both Talent Partner roles & Sales roles
• 2 x European holiday incentives a year

Why FIND?

FIND is an independent recruitment business built around specialist markets and long-term client relationships.

We're ambitious about growth, but we're equally serious about how we grow.

You'll join an established Technical Education & Training practice with live client relationships, genuine vacancies and a senior recruiter to partner with from day one.

You'll have the opportunity to learn how great recruitment is actually done: understanding clients, mapping markets, building relationships, managing processes and becoming genuinely knowledgeable about the people you recruit.

And as FIND continues to grow, there will be plenty of opportunity for your role to grow with it.
