WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

We are no ordinary People team – we are on a relentless mission to create an inspiring place to work with a stand out culture, underpinned by extraordinary People activity. We need game changers, who are able to work in a fast paced environment and prepared to get stuck in. We are still an entrepreneurial agency at our roots and whilst we are growing, we aren’t the kind of people team to sit in a remote office with the doors closed. Our people are people, they aren’t numbers.

We need the very best people and we need you to help us find them. You will be responsible for finding candidates through LinkedIn and other sources, pre-screening and interviewing. You will play a key role in the recruitment process for all roles across EMEA and APAC, predominately in the UK. You will have experience recruiting people for a marketing or advertising agency so you understand the commercial imperative to finding the best people to work on our amazing client accounts, and doing it quickly.

You will be motivated to find people as much as possible without using recruitment agencies. You must have in-house experience and be someone who is engaging, capable of negotiating and offering fair compensation packages. You will always be on top of the best candidates in the market place and conduct speculative interviews to develop our talent pool.

This role will line manage two people (a Talent Acquisition Manager and a Talent Acquisition Coordinator) and work within a broader People team.

Recruiting extraordinary talent is the key part of this role but you will also play a part in identifying initiatives to develop our external employer brand and overall candidate experience, by partnering with relevant teams internally and implementing appropriate changes. This may involve a range of initiatives across diversity and inclusion, upskilling hiring managers, broadening our sourcing pools, developing our external presence as an employer or improving internal hiring processes.

KEY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU NEED

• In house recruitment experience, within a marketing or advertising agency, adept and comfortable working under pressure to work on multiple vacancies and understand the commercial priorities behind each role.
• Outstanding ability to source and select a diverse, wide range of candidates using LinkedIn and other direct sourcing tools.
• Must be a collaborative, inclusive team player.
• Influencing skills and excellent at building relationships and partner with key stakeholders and hiring managers.
• Experience of being creative about where and how to source new, diverse talent.
• Must have line management experience, to help develop and bring on the talent within our growing Talent Acquisition Team.
• Ideally have worked with Workday as a recruitment ATS.
• Ideally have experience implementing new processes and using systems to create efficiencies.
• Ideally some experience of other TA initiatives, such as employer brand, upskilling hiring managers, assessment techniques.

CSM is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race.
