Tech Talent Acquisition Specialist

About The Role

At AO, we’re powered by people - and our Talent Acquisition Specialists are right at the heart of it all. Working as a team, we make sure the right people are in the business and on our journey to be THE destination for electricals.

In this role, you’ll be our specialist for all technology recruitment. You’ll partner with stakeholders across our different disciplines and be the subject matter expert for tech within the talent team.

This is an amazing opportunity to come on board and make a huge impact from day one. If you can bring us the experience we’re looking for, we can offer you bags of autonomy, an incredibly interesting part of the business to work with, a team full of recruitment & employer brand experts, and so much growth and development along the way.

We know we work better when we’re together, so all our AOers come into the office Monday - Friday. We collaborate more easily, have continual conversations, we’re more creative and give better support and all this makes us more motivated and even better at what we do.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Proactively source talent using a range of headhunting techniques
• Understand the workflow plan for upcoming vacancies and decide the best recruitment approach to take for each area
• Influence the hiring process and share best practices on how we can create better experiences for candidates
• Keep a constant eye on the market, feeding back updates to stakeholders on the hiring landscape for technology
• Actively engage in employer brand activity to help promote AO as an employer of choice
• Build talent pipelines for any future opportunities
