Talent Acquisition Manager

Job Description

Type: Fixed Term Contract

Dates: 1st March - 1st November

Salary: £40,000 - £50,000 per annum (pro rated for FTC)

Location: Remote or our Farringdon office, it's your choice

The RoleWe're looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to join us between March and November 2022. This is because the People Director is going on maternity leave and recruitment is a key part of her role that needs full time coverage during this period. Other members of the People Team include a HR Manager and People Coordinator.

Talent is the foundation for our success – a diverse team of talented and bright individuals for whom the Talent Acquisition Manager is responsible for identifying, engaging and recruiting. Reporting to the Managing Director, this role partners with hiring managers and functional leads to ensure we have the best possible chance to recruit the strongest candidate for the job, every time.

At Momentum, one of our strongest areas is how we interact with candidates during the recruitment process. We’re known for providing exceptional levels of detail in feedback and curating an experience that shows we are human, that we have listened to the candidate and that we care.

This role is not about administration but about relationships, communication and understanding our business. As the first point of contact in the recruitment process, the Talent Acquisition Manager represents Momentum and so must live and breathe our values and behaviours, as well as demonstrate a strong understanding of what we do, why we do it and who we do it with. Training will be provided to ensure a clear grasp on our offering – particularly around the employee experience (engagement, culture, working environment, performance and development, benefits, business model and org) because it is the role of the Talent Acquisition Manager to articulately sell in the employee experience in the early stages of the interview process.

The role is varied and will include responsibilities such as taking briefs from hiring managers, actively approaching candidates, posting job ads, screening CV’s and conducting interviews. This is end-to-end recruitment which means taking a brief through from planning to offer stage, after which our People Coordinator will take over for onboarding.

Key Responsibilities.

• Collaborate with hiring managers to write job ads for current openings
• Management of the ATS (Team Tailor)
• Advertise vacancies on our website and LinkedIn pages via our ATS platform
• Promote and monitor the employee referral programme
• Screen CVs, applications and set out our hiring process to candidates
• Interview candidates during various stages including phone screen and culture round
• Report to hiring managers and the Managing Director on recruitment status
• Determine qualification and skills criteria for each position
• Support hiring managers in formulating task briefs appropriate to the role
• Update job descriptions (e.g. add tasks or modify requirements)
• Provide interview feedback, when necessary and appropriate

At Momentum we’re proud to uphold a culture of transparency. All of us are empowered to speak up and be curious without fear of doing so. As a result, we’ve formed a companywide sense of security and trust, which in turn fosters an easy-going and relaxed working environment. Basically, we take the job seriously but not ourselves. The work that we do isn’t easy and we are relentless in our pursuit to deliver outstanding work for our clients without ever compromising on quality. Our collective open nature and creative outlook ensures that we’re kept energised and intellectually challenged along the way whilst having a generally great time at work. Lifelong friendships have been formed and some of the best memories we’ve made have been through celebrating wins together.

We are an equal opportunities employer and no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race.
