Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Don't just fill roles. Shape the talent behind the technology.

Are you an experienced Talent Acquisition professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys solving complex hiring challenges and knows how to turn difficult vacancies into successful hires?

We are looking for a dynamic, agile and data driven Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to join our IBM–Intel Recruitment Project.

This is an opportunity to work alongside a big, high-performing recruitment team supporting a leading global technology and semiconductor ecosystem, where your recruitment expertise, market intelligence and stakeholder management skills will make a real impact.

We want someone who goes beyond taking hiring briefs at face value - someone who can interpret recruitment data, bring market insights to the table, constructively challenge hiring managers' expectations and influence hiring decisions with facts, not assumptions.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Own the full recruitment lifecycle: Drive end-to-end recruitment, from understanding hiring requirements and developing sourcing strategies to candidate engagement, offer management and successful onboarding.

- Partner with the business: Work closely with hiring managers and stakeholders to understand workforce needs, translate business requirements into effective recruitment strategies and provide informed talent advice.

- Navigate complex talent markets: Identify, engage and attract high-calibre talent, particularly within the semiconductor, engineering, manufacturing and technology sectors.

- Build strong talent pipelines: Develop proactive sourcing strategies, talent pools and market maps to support current and future hiring demands.

- Deliver with agility: Manage multiple requisitions and competing priorities while maintaining recruitment quality, speed and candidate experience.

- Bring market intelligence to the table: Understand talent availability, compensation trends, competitor movements and candidate expectations to support informed hiring decisions.

- Drive recruitment performance: Monitor recruitment metrics, identify bottlenecks and continuously improve sourcing effectiveness, conversion rates and time-to-fill.

- Elevate the candidate experience: Build meaningful relationships with candidates and represent the project with professionalism, credibility and genuine engagement.

What We're Looking For:

- At least 7 years of solid end-to-end recruitment experience, preferably within the semiconductor, E&E, engineering, manufacturing or technology industries.

- Strong expertise in sourcing, screening, interviewing, candidate assessment, offer negotiation and onboarding.

- Proven ability to recruit across diverse job functions and seniority levels, including specialised and hard-to-fill positions.

- Confident stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage hiring managers, challenge requirements constructively and influence hiring decisions.

- Strong market awareness and the ability to translate talent intelligence into practical recruitment strategies.

- Comfortable managing high-volume and complex recruitment demands in a fast-paced environment.

- Data-driven, resourceful and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

- Excellent communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.

The Kind of Recruiter Who Will Thrive Here

You are someone who:

- Thinks beyond job descriptions and understands what the business really needs.

- Knows where to find talent, how to approach it and what makes candidates move.

- Is agile enough to adapt when hiring priorities change, without losing sight of delivery.

- Can balance recruitment speed with quality and sound hiring judgement.

- Is confident engaging senior stakeholders and having meaningful conversations with candidates.

- Takes ownership, anticipates challenges and comes prepared with solutions rather than problems.

Why Join Us?

- High-impact exposure: Support a major recruitment programme within the global IBM–Intel technology ecosystem.

- Complex and meaningful hiring: Work on challenging roles that demand genuine recruitment expertise and market knowledge.

- Professional growth: Strengthen your stakeholder management, talent advisory and strategic recruitment capabilities.

- Collaborative environment: Be part of an experienced team that values initiative, accountability, knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.

- Make your expertise count: Have the opportunity to influence recruitment outcomes, contribute ideas and make a measurable difference.
