Due to internal progression and continued growth we're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our Investment & Distribution Hub that sits within our wider Talent Acquisition team. 

Working as part of a fast paced and ambitious team, you'll have full ownership of a business area within Investments/Distribution, and will manage your own workload of vacancies from entry level to experienced hiring (excluding executive search). This is an exciting time to join our team as we continue to support the business with many growth initiatives in 2022, and also continue to grow and develop as a TA function. 

If you're passionate about Talent Acquisition and have experience recruiting within Investments/Distribution or financial services we'd love to hear from you! 

• Being a true Subject Matter Expert within Investments and Distribution identifying the best candidates in the active and passive market. This will include engaging with the business and wider networks, analysing competitor insights and industry trends to develop deep specialist knowledge
• Delivering an exceptional candidate experience and implementing strategies and initiatives ensuring all touchpoints in the recruitment process contribute to this experience, and all candidates, irrespective of outcome, derive a benefit from applying for a job with L&G.
• Delivering an efficient and professional hiring manager experience, enabling the business to make great hiring decisions and ultimately achieve its business ambitions; including supporting and guiding hiring managers through the end-to-end recruitment process and gaining a real understanding of the requirements for each vacancy
• Direct sourcing candidates and building talent pipelines through multiple innovative attraction strategies to ensure the continued flow of exceptional talent and to minimise the use of agencies/search firms
• Assessing and screening candidates to an agreed standard to ensure that all candidates put forward to hiring managers have objectively met all the necessary skills and abilities to perform the role
• Negotiating all offers of employment, fully explaining the total compensation package and benefits to candidates and explaining how the on-boarding experience will work

• Full Talent Acquisition life-cycle experience from within a fast-paced, customer focused in-house, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) or agency environment
• Experience recruiting for Investments or Distribution roles highly preferable, alternatively a good understanding of these areas or experience recruiting within financial services will be considered
• Experience of, and a passion for, creating and delivering an exceptional candidate and hiring manager experience
• Direct sourcing experience through multiple attraction channels (you will know how to get to candidates where our competition cannot)
• Experience of championing Diversity and Inclusion across all pillars of difference
• Knowledge of how to act as a brand ambassador by actively promoting and representing a brand and telling its story through social media, networking and events
• Up to date knowledge of UK employment law, recruitment related risks, controls and regulations
• Ability to manage and prioritise multiple deliverables at any one time
