Talent Acquisition Manager

Our client, a well-established organisation in the lifestyle industry, is looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to join their team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a talent acquisition professional to play a key role in shaping how the organisation attracts, assesses, and hires talent across the business, while partnering closely with stakeholders in a fast-paced, brand-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership teams to understand business needs and co-create effective hiring strategies.
• Design and drive structured, competency-based assessment approaches to improve hiring quality and consistency across departments.
• Evaluate candidates holistically, with the ability to identify transferable skills and potential, particularly for career switchers and non-traditional profiles.
• Facilitate calibration discussions with hiring panels to ensure objective, well-informed, and aligned hiring decisions.
• Own end-to-end recruitment processes, from sourcing to offer management, ensuring efficiency and a strong candidate experience.
• Build and manage diverse sourcing channels with a focus on long-term pipeline quality over volume.
• Advise stakeholders on market insights, talent availability, and realistic hiring expectations.
• Drive initiatives to enhance candidate experience and strengthen employer brand positioning.
• Partner with agencies and external stakeholders on hiring needs, including workforce compliance matters.
• Represent the organisation at recruitment events, career fairs, and industry outreach initiatives.
• Track and present recruitment metrics — such as quality of hire, time-to-fill, and pipeline conversion — to support data-driven improvements.

Key Requirements

• 8-10 years of in-house talent acquisition or recruitment experience, with demonstrated strength in candidate assessment and stakeholder partnering.
• Proven ability to assess beyond technical fit, including potential, learning agility, and transferable skills.
• Experience working with diverse stakeholders across different functions and seniority levels.
• Strong facilitation and influencing skills, with confidence in guiding hiring discussions and challenging biases where needed.
• Familiarity with local employment regulations and hiring compliance considerations, including foreign workforce hiring where relevant.
• Data-driven mindset, with the ability to use recruitment metrics to improve processes and outcomes.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
• Self-driven, adaptable, and passionate about people — comfortable operating in a fast-paced, collaborative, and brand-conscious environment.
