If you’re passionate about recruitment with an inclusion and accessibility mindset, then this role is for you!

The BBC is the world’s leading public service broadcaster. We’re impartial and independent and every day we create distinctive, world-class programmes and content which inform, educate and entertain millions of people around the world.

You will lead a team of recruiters who you will support in the delivery of world class and diverse candidates with the right capability in the right jobs, at the right time whilst leading by example to deliver a seamless candidate and hiring manager experience.

Main Responsibilities

Working as a trusted partner, reporting directly to the Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner Recruitment and Sourcing , you will be responsible for delivering advice and guidance to hiring managers on recruitment strategies including inclusive recruitment policy and practice. You’ll be recruiting from inception to conclusion across a wide range of functions for a variety of predominantly mid-level roles across Public Service in an effective and efficient manner. You’ll manage and lead a team of recruiters on all day to day recruitment activities ensuring systems and processes are kept up to date and adhered to, enabling a high-performance team culture by fostering an environment of diversity, inclusion, engagement and collaboration both within the recruitment team and more broadly across the BBC. Working with Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partners you’ll set quality standards, service level agreements and KPI’s ensuring delivery against the same. You’ll set and monitor the performance of your team against these KPI’s and outcomes relating to hiring manager satisfaction ensuring that the team is delivering a high quality service to hiring managers and candidates. You will use data to drive your agenda and focus your initiatives.

You’ll work closely and collaboratively with others within the TA function, including Sourcing, Assessment and Selection, Executive Search and Mapping, Employer Brand and Operations, to develop and deploy new and emerging high impact inclusive recruitment assessment tools and initiatives as well as participating in candidate evaluation and selection processes.
