About the team
As a Recruitment Specialist, you will be part of our Talent Attraction Centre of Excellence within our Human Resources team. In the HR team, we believe that blending performance and ‘conviviality’ is our recipe for success, the unique Pernod Ricard way. We welcome diversity, embrace our differences and thrive on the excitement and challenges of continuously growing and adapting our business.
The Talent Attraction CoE was created in summer 2021 to centralise talent attraction and recruitment in a specialised team. Our mission is to attract and recruit the very best talent for Pernod Ricard in the UK. We aim to do this by establishing and communicating a unique EVP and employer brand, creating the best experience for our candidates, facilitating diversity and doing it all in a way that is digital, innovative and best in class. We are a team of 4 people on a bold and exciting transformation journey, working closely with the wider HR team and line managers to deliver it.
Key Responsibilities
You will have three main areas of responsibility:
Operational recruitment: you will also be responsible for partnering closely with HR Business partners to co-pilot each recruitment process. You personally will own end-to-end recruitment, internally and externally including sourcing, pre-selection (application & CV screen, video interview analysis) and assessment (competency interviewing). You will also advise line managers, providing actionable market insight to help shape decision making and influence the overall hiring decision for each of your vacancies.
Talent pipelining: you will be responsible for forecasting priority hiring needs by working with HR teams and the business and building talent pipelines by running compelling attraction campaigns in line with our EVP as well as by engaging prospective candidates through a relationship and CRM strategy.
Projects: you will have the opportunity to be involved in various projects, contributing to the implementation, development and excellence of our CoE, such as how we can advance our D&I agenda through recruitment, defining our Early Careers strategy, creating a recruitment culture by training the business on Talent Attraction, and creating a best-in-class candidate experience.
Key Relationships
Internally, your main stakeholders will be your team members within the Talent Attraction CoE (EVP Manager, Recruitment Specialist, Head of Talent Attraction), your colleagues in the wider HR team (HR Business Partners, Reward & People Analytics CoE and Talent & Learning CoE) and line managers throughout the business.
Externally, you will interface with recruitment consultancies and other external partners and you will be the face of Pernod Ricard for our candidates, delivering a first-class experience and helping candidates understand our business and culture.
What you need
This position could be right for you if you:
- Can demonstrate successful experience of managing a best-in-class direct recruitment process for ‘professional’ roles of all seniorities in business functions such as Sales, Marketing, Finance or Supply Chain. Specifically, you can demonstrate strong understanding of your business functions’ commercial and people priorities and show how you lead a high-touch recruitment process to bring the right skills and talent into those teams.
- Are a subject matter expert in recruiting. Specifically, you bring skilled knowledge of sourcing strategies, ideally beyond LinkedIn Recruiter, and have previously put these into place. You also have a strong understanding of the current best practice in candidate assessment and are a skilled competency interviewer.
- Possess the right soft-skills and professional credibility which allow you to influence and lead decision making when it comes to candidate selection. You collaborate with line managers on an equal footing and coach your stakeholders through the recruitment process to get the best outcome.
- Have some experience in a transformational environment, perhaps having contributed to a change programme within recruitment. You are comfortable navigating within a changing and dynamic environment.
Our Leadership Attributes
We have developed 6 Leadership Attributes that will help Pernod Ricard achieve our ambition of rapidly and proactively becoming the uncontested industry leader. These Attributes embody the attitudes and behaviours that we expect of our people in all areas, including our own Talent Attraction team. These are:
- Growth Mindset: Forward thinking, embodying a vision that translates into inspiring strategies. Thrives in a complex and changing world deploying resources effectively and efficiently.
