You'll own a busy, varied workload of vacancies, mainly across Tech & Marketing, partnering closely with hiring managers and the wider Talent Team, so you'll need to hit the ground running.

Responsibilities:

2. Run role briefing meetings with hiring managers to agree requirements, process and timelines

3. Manage candidates and pipelines in Teamtailor, keeping data clean and reporting accurate

4. Use AI tools to work more efficiently – e.g. drafting job ads, building sourcing searches and summarising interview notes – while keeping the candidate experience human

5. Deliver a great experience for every candidate and actively promote MVF as an employer of choice

6. Work closely with the wider Talent Team, sharing insight and supporting each other to hit our hiring goals

• Accurate, up-to-date Teamtailor data that supports reliable hiring reports

Our Ideal MVFer:

• Strong agency and/or in-house recruitment experience, ideally managing multiple roles at once

• Proven success using direct-sourcing methods to minimise agency usage (if coming from an in-house role)

• Able to adapt and thrive in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to advise and challenge hiring managers

• Experience with Teamtailor would be great, though experience with another ATS is fine

• Curious about AI and already using it in your recruitment work, or keen to learn

• A team player, always looking to help those around them and conducting their work with the utmost integrity

The Talent Team sits within People and is responsible for attracting and hiring world-class talent across every part of MVF. We partner closely with leaders to build the teams that drive our growth, and take pride in giving every candidate a great experience.

About MVF

MVF powers growth for our clients by connecting them to potential customers.

The digital marketing landscape is complex and constantly evolving. Businesses need experts who are tracking that evolution and finding new ways to innovate and win.

This is where MVF comes in. We match readers, buyers & business leaders with the brands & companies that make the products and services they need.

We do this by building relationships with potential customers at each stage of the marketing funnel by offering insights, information, and tools to help them learn more about the things they’re interested in. We build profiles on our audiences, guide them through purchase decisions, and ultimately connect them to the right products/services when they are ready to buy. Our clients trust us as experts in lead generation, which frees up their time to do what they do best.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are the foundation for MVF to build, promote and sustain a culture of trust, safety, growth and belonging where everyone can thrive. Our DEI guiding principles underpin how we build our teams, develop our talent, provide a fair working environment and create an ambitious company that reflects the diversity of our employees, customers, clients and partners, globally.

As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage all MVFers to respect, value and celebrate our differences, and commit to actions that ensure that we can belong and be authentic at MVF, without limitations or barriers.

We’re committed to providing support and/or adjustments to those who may need them during employment. If you consider yourself someone who may need support or adjustments, please speak with your Line Manager, Department DEI Ambassador or People Partner.

We are diverse by nature, but inclusive by choice.
