Recruitment & Talent Partner

Hybrid – Kendal | Leading Technical Engineering Services Organisation

Are you a proactive, self-starting recruiter who thrives on full ownership of the hiring process? This is an exciting opportunity to join a global technical engineering services organisation and lead all internal recruitment activity while supporting the wider Talent & Development function.

The Role

As the Recruitment & Talent Partner, you’ll be the driving force behind hiring across the business. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role where you’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle — from initial briefing through to verbal offer — ensuring a smooth, professional and engaging experience for both candidates and hiring managers.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders across technical, operational and corporate functions, building strong relationships and delivering a well-structured, consistent recruitment process.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the end-to-end recruitment cycle for all vacancies
• Partner with hiring managers to take detailed briefs and support the approval process
• Advertise roles, source talent, screen CVs and coordinate interviews
• Deliver a seamless candidate experience from first contact to verbal offer
• Build and maintain talent pools and pipelines for future hiring needs
• Keep recruitment systems, data and reporting up to date and accurate
• Manage agency relationships and ensure consistent candidate quality
• Collaborate closely with the Training & Development team to:
• Identify internal training needs
• Coordinate training activities and onboarding
• Ensure inductions, equipment and documentation are in place
• Support the development and review of internal learning pathways

What You’ll Bring

• A self-starter mindset with the confidence to take ownership and drive activity forward
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple vacancies at pace
• Confidence working with stakeholders at all levels
• Experience in internal recruitment or agency recruitment with an in-house approach
• A proactive, solutions-focused attitude
• A genuine interest in people development and supporting internal growth

Why This Role Stands Out

• Hybrid working with a supportive team and strong leadership
• Exposure to both Talent Acquisition and Learning & Development
• The chance to make a real impact in a growing, global engineering business
• Competitive salary, generous benefits and bonus potential
