This Talent Acquisition Specialist has 13 years of hands-on experience working across financial services environments. Their recent work has included briefing hiring managers, sourcing candidates and managing offers, with regular responsibility for talent pipelining and interviewing. They are comfortable using PageUp, LinkedIn Recruiter and Excel, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as practical, detail-focused and responsive, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that filled difficult roles, while they also contributed to initiatives that reduced time to hire. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in offer management and stakeholder management, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to construction, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a contract role with meaningful project work. In their next move, greater responsibility is an important consideration. They are particularly interested in employers that invest in development and provide clear feedback. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
