What’s the role?

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our growing Talent function. This is a permanent position, based at Manchester Airport 2 days per week on-site Monday and Thursday (with flexibility to work remotely the rest of the time).

As a key member of our team, you’ll play an important role in helping us scale as a business, leading a 360 recruitment process – from sourcing, attraction, and engagement through to offers and onboarding. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, advising and influencing to ensure we secure the very best talent.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Delivering a full 360 recruitment service across non-volume roles

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a scaling company where your impact will be visible, and your career can grow as we do.

About You:

You’ll be a confident recruiter who thrives in a 360 role and enjoys working in partnership with stakeholders to deliver great outcomes. You may be in-house already, or currently agency-side and ready to make the move.

• Previous experience in a recruitment or talent acquisition role (in-house or agency)
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills – you know how to build trust and influence decisions
• A proactive approach to sourcing and headhunting top talent
• Ideally, experience recruiting in Digital Marketing, Growth, Sales, E-commerce or similar functions
• An appreciation for data-driven recruitment, or a willingness to learn how to use data to shape hiring decisions
• Passionate about providing a great candidate experience

Most importantly, you’ll be curious, and excited by the chance to develop into a world-class Talent Acquisition Partner.

The Perks:

• 25 Days Holiday, with the option to buy up to 10 more, plus 4 flexible bank holidays
• 10% Company Pension
• Annual Bonus Scheme
• On Site Gym
• MediCash Scheme

Did you know that some people may be less likely to apply to job adverts than others? For example, research shows women are less likely to apply if they don’t meet every single requirement listed in the advert.

So, if you’re reading this and perhaps don’t tick every box, please still make yourself known to CAVU. We’d love to hear from you!
