Talent Acquisition Manager
Exciting chance to build and manage recruitment for a retail group. Permanent, full-time, with strong multi-site experience preferred and career development pathways.
Are you ready to take on a dynamic Talent Acquisition Manager role? This opportunity offers permanent, full-time employment within the wholesale and retail field. The salary range offers flexibility and the position requires on-site work, making it a great fit for hands-on recruiters. For applicants, a CODE B driver’s license and access to your own vehicle are necessary.
The position is best suited for experienced recruitment professionals. You’ll get to demonstrate your skills implementing best-practice frameworks, managing high-volume hiring, and designing processes for a growing company. In this role, strategic planning, compliance, and people development are at the core.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Your daily tasks will include developing a national recruitment strategy, standardising hiring processes, and supporting new location launches. Keeping candidate experiences positive and efficient is a priority. You’ll collaborate with HR, handle direct sourcing, pipeline management, and fully manage the recruitment lifecycle.
Expect involvement in compliance, monitoring data, and reporting on efficiency. You’ll deliver training to managers about recruitment best practices. Maintaining detailed records and using an ATS to streamline operations will be essential. This is a leadership role that combines strategic thinking and ground-level delivery.
Supporting internal progression is also a key part of the role, as you’ll be actively involved in helping current employees progress through structured mobility programmes. Your communication skills and ability to drive employer branding initiatives will also be put to the test, ensuring the retail brand stands out for talent in the market.
Advantages of the Position
This job offers a rare chance to shape recruitment for a well-known retail brand. There’s real potential to leave your mark by building frameworks from scratch while becoming a pivotal team member.
You’ll enjoy collaborating on opening new locations and strengthening internal pathways for career development. The balance between strategy and operations ensures there’s variety and new challenges every day.
Some Drawbacks to Consider
The role’s broad focus means tight deadlines and frequent multi-tasking are part of the deal. High volume hiring can present a fast and, at times, stressful pace of work.
If you prefer delivering only on specialised or niche hires, managing ongoing compliance and recruitment training might feel demanding.
Our Verdict
If you have experience in large-scale, end-to-end recruitment and a passion for retail, this job could be your next career-defining step. The position offers strong involvement in both people and process side, with a good blend of autonomy and responsibility. For those seeking dynamic work, leadership opportunities, and a chance to make an impact, this is a compelling role to consider.
