## Description

The Role: Talent Partner

You'll join a high-performing technology recruitment team working almost entirely on exclusive assignments across software engineering, AI, data, cloud, cyber, infrastructure and digital transformation.

You'll inherit warm client relationships, but we're also looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, winning business and building something that's genuinely theirs. This is a high-level, individual contributor role for a seasoned recruitment expert with the commercial gravitas to own client accounts and the emotional intelligence to mentor junior staff.

As a Talent Partner, you'll:

 * Take sole ownership of day-to-day recruitment operations for key clients, acting as their primary point of contact and trusted advisor

 * Independently identify leads and open new doors through warm business development, speccing top-tier candidates into the market

 * Produce hiring insights and market intelligence reports, using data to influence client hiring strategies and salary benchmarking

*Own the full candidate lifecycle end to end, including compliance, referencing and vetting, with total confidence and zero oversight required
