Talent Acquisition Recruiter in City of London

Job description

Talent Acquisition Partner - Research and Sourcing Specialist

Industry: Insurance / Broking

Hybrid – Office days Tuesday & Thursday (near Liverpool Street)

Fixed Term Contract

Start Date: ASAP (some flexibility)

Who We’re Looking For

We’re hiring a Senior Talent Partner with deep experience in broking and insurance recruitment. If you’ve hired Account Handlers, Brokers, or Specialist Insurance talent before — and you love diving deep into niche markets like aviation, energy, or reinsurance — we want to talk.

This is not a standard recruiter role. It sits much closer to executive search and requires someone confident navigating complexity, building pipelines from scratch, and acting as a strategic sourcing partner to stakeholders.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner closely with two senior stakeholders, embedded in a tight-knit, high-performing team
• Build detailed talent maps and research pipelines across complex, specialist insurance verticals
• Drive outreach, engagement, and candidate relationships (you’ll be the first point of contact)
• Run market mapping and proactive sourcing – this is a 180° role, not full-cycle recruitment
• Support with offer stages, while managing smooth handovers of candidates to hiring leaders early in the process
• Help the business scale effectively and reach BAU hiring momentum during a growth period

✅ What We Need From You

• You must have experience hiring in the insurance/broking industry
• Deep understanding of how an account handler, broker, or technical underwriter operates
• Executive search or strategic sourcing background — especially market mapping and passive talent engagement
• Strong communication skills and ability to partner with hiring leaders, without owning full-cycle process
• Positive, proactive energy — someone who can bring structure to chaos
• Collaborative by nature – this team works closely together and values a people-first approach
• Experience in an agency or in-house role welcome

This is a rare opportunity to embed yourself in a business-critical project within one of the most exciting, fast-scaling teams in specialty insurance. If you want to be at the heart of smart, human-led hiring (with zero KPI pressure), let’s talk.

Please apply directly.
