About us.
PA Media Group has been at the heart of trusted news, data and content for more than 150 years. Alongside our market-leading news agency, we bring together a range of specialist businesses delivering content, technology and creative solutions to customers across the UK and internationally.
As our business continues to evolve, we're looking for an experienced recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team on a six-month fixed-term contract to help us deliver a busy programme of hiring across multiple business areas.
About the role.
This is a hands-on recruitment role for someone who enjoys the pace and satisfaction of delivering great hires.
Working alongside the Talent Acquisition Lead, you'll take ownership of recruitment campaigns from advert through to interview, ensuring hiring managers see a strong shortlist of well-matched candidates rather than simply a high volume of applicants.
You'll be comfortable managing multiple vacancies at once, proactively sourcing talent, screening candidates, advising on adverts and keeping recruitment processes moving at pace.
If you're someone who loves finding great people, building quality pipelines and making recruitment run smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.
