C&C Search is partnering with a global financial services organisation to find an exceptional recruitment professional for a highly entrepreneurial, dynamic business.
This is a demanding role with considerable variety, senior stakeholder exposure and responsibility for keeping multiple hiring processes moving. You could be managing up to 15 live mandates at any one time, each with different priorities, stakeholders and challenges.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong recruitment delivery with the ability to build relationships, influence decisions and communicate directly. You will need to establish credibility quickly, ask thoughtful questions and keep people engaged when priorities change.
The opportunity
You will work closely with hiring managers and external recruitment partners, taking ownership of searches and bringing structure, urgency and sound judgement to the hiring process.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing multiple recruitment mandates simultaneously, keeping a clear view of priorities, progress and next steps.
- Working with hiring managers to understand the brief, test assumptions and agree a realistic approach to each search.
- Building trusted stakeholder relationships, providing clear advice and challenging constructively where needed.
- Identifying, engaging and assessing candidates, using direct sourcing and agency support appropriately.
- Selecting and briefing recruitment agencies, building productive partnerships and holding them accountable for the quality and relevance of their delivery.
- Maintaining momentum through timely feedback, clear communication and proactive follow-up.
- Anticipating obstacles, resolving issues and helping stakeholders make informed hiring decisions.
- Providing a professional, responsive candidate experience throughout the process.
Who we’re looking for
You will have a strong recruitment background gained in an agency or a similarly fast‑paced environment where expectations are high and delivery matters.
You will bring:
- A track record of managing multiple live searches without losing attention to detail or the quality of your relationships.
- Exceptional relationship‑building skills, with the confidence to work with demanding stakeholders and experienced recruitment partners.
- A clear, direct communication style: comfortable giving an honest update, asking for a decision and addressing an issue early.
- The ability to influence through credibility, preparation and a strong understanding of the hiring requirement.
- Commercial judgement and the ability to distinguish what is urgent from what will make the greatest difference.
- Strong organisation, consistent follow‑through and personal accountability for moving processes forward.
- Adaptability when briefs evolve, priorities shift or a search requires a different approach.
The environment
This is an entrepreneurial organisation within global financial services. The pace is fast, the expectations are high and the role requires someone who enjoys being actively involved in delivery.
You will suit this opportunity if you like variety, communicate confidently and take satisfaction in turning a challenging brief into a successful hire. Being an excellent relationship builder is essential: your impact will depend on how effectively you work with hiring managers, candidates and agency partners.
