Job Description

The Role:

This mid-term (minimum 6 months) temporary role is an excellent opportunity to enhance your recruiting skills with a wide variety of roles during this particularly busy period for our team. Our talented, passionate colleagues are what makes Informa Markets the leader in our industry and the ability to attract and retain exceptional talent is a top priority for the business. As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you will be working in a critical role responsible for attracting and hiring the very best talent in the market.

Fostering excellent stakeholder relationships within Informa Markets is critical to your success in this role. An inquisitive approach in learning the various business groups you’ll support is paramount to determining what the business needs truly are and then creating strategies to find, engage and hire diverse talent.

This is an exciting time to be working at Informa Markets, especially within the Talent Acquisition function, as we look to broaden our scope of services and focus on a commercial transformation that includes industry-leading digital and data product offerings.

As a Talent Acquisition Partner, the key areas of focus are:

Recruitment Strategy

  • Be actively engaged with the strategy that provides a best-in-class candidate and hiring manager experience using an agile and continuous process improvement approach. This includes the pre-hire, post-offer, and onboarding phases.
  • Champion diversity with an unbiased and progressive approach in our recruitment practices through continuous learning, teachings, and communication to actively progress our diversity in people and thinking.

Team Dynamics and Representative

  • Partner with the Talent Acquisition Team Leader to create a collaborative team environment that balances the strengths of each individual teammate, sharing responsibilities and priorities as appropriate, meeting targets, and achieving performance goals that include receiving and providing regular, meaningful feedback. Promoting workplace diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, and work/life balance will be a key component of this role.
  • Act as a product ambassador for the company’s applicant tracking system, Smart Recruiters, collate feedback, and suggest process & product improvements to provide a world-class candidate and hiring manager experience.

Key Stakeholder Relationships

  • Collaborate with the HR Business Partnering Team and the Reward Team to share market trend knowledge and develop cross-functional strategies to attract and retain talent through competitive compensation packages and offers.
  • Coordinate with local HR support service teams to ensure proper candidate onboarding and manager handoff.
  • Work collaboratively with the HR community to ensure we are attracting candidates from diverse backgrounds and in alignment with our DI&B policies.

Qualifications

Qualifications:

You will have experience of direct in-house recruiting and working as part of a team – what we’re after is an organized, passionate, emotionally intelligent, focused and gregarious, proactive hunter of talent who can work in an oftentimes ambiguous, complex, fast-moving environment and engage even the most passive talent. You will also want to ensure you have the following…

  • Previous end-to-end lifecycle recruitment experience without a heavy reliance on agencies or other third-party providers such as RPO services. Prior success as a self-starter is a must.
  • Recent experience working as a talent acquisition professional within a collaborative team environment.
  • Success with recruiting for a broad range of roles simultaneously.
  • You have a consultative nature and are comfortable engaging and building relationships with hiring managers.
  • You have a natural ability to sell opportunity and influence tactfully and thoughtfully.
  • You are entrepreneurial and love autonomy for yourself and the team you work with. We won’t be measuring call times or how much time you spend at your desk, but your personal work ethic and tenacity always get exceptional results.
  • You don’t hesitate to change things up if you spot something that isn’t working and prefer to work more agile as opposed to a rigid, structured environment.
  • You proactively seek opportunities to create helpful resources, mentor and provide guidance on processes, appropriate interview techniques and questions when partnering with hiring managers and others involved in the hiring process.
  • You have an organized and structured approach with your day-to-day activities to ensure expectations and deadlines are met and you prefer overseeing and managing your own calendar, scheduling, and logistics of interviews.
  • You will be an excellent communicator both internally and externally – you can craft brilliant e-mails and hold beautifully engaging discussions.
  • You have an eye for detail, nothing gets past you.
  • You care about the experience of your customers (both candidate and hiring manager) and understand what can make the process painful and proactively seek solutions for those when possible.
  • You are energetic and able to harness your energy to inspire and influence others, your passion for connecting the right talent with the right opportunity is palpable.
  • You will jump in and help your team, fellow HR colleagues, or other areas of the business without thinking twice.
