Talent Acquisition Specialist

- Internal Talent Acquisition Specialist

- $70,000–$80,000 base + bonus

- New York City

Join a high-performing international recruitment business at an important stage of its US expansion. Following strong commercial performance, the New York operation is preparing for further growth in 2027.

You’ll have the opportunity to take real ownership of talent acquisition, work directly with senior leadership, and shape how the business attracts, hires, and develops its next generation of recruitment talent.

The Internal Talent Acquisition Specialist will own hiring across the New York office, with a strong focus on graduate and early-career recruitment alongside experienced hires.

Role Highlights

– Own the end-to-end recruitment process, from proactive sourcing and screening through offers, negotiations, and pre-boarding.

– Lead graduate and entry-level hiring campaigns, including building pipelines.

– Source talent through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, networking, and targeted direct outreach rather than relying solely on applications.

– Partner with senior leaders and hiring managers to understand headcount plans, hiring priorities, and future talent requirements.

– Track recruitment activity and conversion metrics while improving candidate experience, employer branding, and attraction strategies.

You Will Need

– At least two years of recruitment or Talent Acquisition experience, gained internally or within an agency environment.

– Strong direct sourcing, headhunting, interviewing, candidate management, and closing skills.

– Experience hiring into recruitment, staffing, sales, or another commercially focused environment.

– Confidence managing multiple hiring processes and partnering with senior stakeholders on recruitment decisions.

– A proactive, commercial approach and genuine interest in graduate and early-career talent;
previous graduate or recruiter hiring experience is advantageous but not essential.

Why You’ll Love It

– Earn a $70,000–$80,000 base salary plus bonus.

– Take genuine ownership of Talent Acquisition rather than becoming one member of a large internal function.

– Build your career as the US operation expands, with clear opportunities for progression.

– Develop through structured training, coaching, and ongoing professional development.

– Influence graduate hiring and development while working directly with business leadership.

– Celebrate performance through incentive trips, team events, socials, and premium dining experiences.
