Talent Delivery Manager (Player-Coach)

h3Talent Delivery Manager (Player-Coach) - Shape the Engine. /h3 h3The Situation /h3 pMost recruitment roles ask you to sit in a seat that's already warm. This one asks you to build the engine. /p pWe've just fundamentally restructured how we work. We split our mixed sales and recruitment desks to create a dedicated, specialised Delivery Team. This is a brand-new role to lead that newly merged team. /p pYou aren't maintaining the status quo. You are coming in to shape the strategy, play with AI, set the rules of engagement with Sales, and elevate a team that has heaps of potential. /p h3The Role /h3 pLet's be clear: this is not a spreadsheet-management job. You need to love the craft of recruiting. /p ul libHands-on Recruiting 50%: /b You will lead from the front, running your own searches and showing the team what excellence looks like. /li libManaging Strategising 50%: /b Capacity management, prioritisation and leading your team. /li /ul h3The Team You Are Inheriting: /h3 pYou aren't starting from scratch. You're inheriting a team where some recruiters bring 10+ years of battle-tested experience. Your job isn't to teach them Sourcing, it's to stretch them out of their comfort zone, clear their blockers, and forge solo top-performers into an unstoppable delivery unit. /p h3The Mission /h3 ul libFix the Flow: /b You need to solve prioritisation, capacity management, and cross-team collaboration. /li libSet the Rules with Sales: /b We are not order-takers. You have full backing to push back on unrealistic briefs or low-commitment accounts. But you own the framework: you will establish clear rules of engagement (SLAs) so Sales knows the exact data, commitment, and feedback speed required to get their role to the top of our board. /li libUpgrade Candidate Experience: /b We have Bullhorn and bespoke AI cover-sheet tools, but our backend candidate automation needs work. You aren't just adopting our tech stack, you are its architect. If you spot a tool or workflow that eliminates friction and turns our candidate experience from "good" to "world-class," you have the green light to build it /li libTalent Pooling: We are looking for a new hire for your team to improve and deliver on our talent pooling strategy so cover the recurring roles within our top client. /b /li /ul h3How You Win /h3 pWe don't care about pointless KPI bashing or daily call logs. We measure real impact: CV-to-interview ratios, offer acceptance rates, time-to-fill, and client feedback. You bring data-driven insights to the table so we can optimize the funnel without drowning the team in spreadsheets. /p h3Who Will Fail Here? /h3 pEnergy vampires. Gossipers. People who wait to be told what to do. If you are lazy or look for excuses when the market gets tough, you will hate it here. /p h3Who Will Thrive? /h3 pSomeone with relentless positivity and a highly competitive mindset. You care deeply about the people you manage, but you hold them to a high standard. You are a builder. /p pYou bring the competitive positivity; we give you the keys to the delivery engine. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
