Talent Acquisition & Capability Advisor

As the Talent Acquisition & Capability Advisor, with a specialised focus on technology recruitment, you will be a key player in our collaborative People Team, driving the acquisition of top tech talent while empowering hiring managers and team members to build high-performing, future-ready teams.

Your role will go beyond just traditional recruitment: you’ll act as a strategic advisor, helping hiring managers refine their recruitment capabilities, develop stronger teams, and build the technological expertise needed to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.

In addition to recruitment, a core focus of your role will be enabling hiring managers to continuously evolve their team's progression and succession strategy through our customised capability frameworks. You will foster a mindset of growth, encouraging the development of their own leadership skills in managing diverse teams and ensuring that the talent pipeline aligns with long-term organisational goals.

By bringing your expertise in talent acquisition, relationship-building, and capability development, you will help both individual managers and the People Team thrive—delivering not just exceptional recruitment outcomes but also a measurable improvement in team performance and skills across the organisation.

This is a great opportunity to lean into the capability and enablement world that comes after placing the right candidate!
