The Role
Reporting to the Talent Acquisition Manager, the Talent Acquisition Partner will lead the attraction, engagement and hiring of technical professionals across Envitia’s Security & Intelligence business.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of recruiting technical and IT professionals within UK Defence and National Security markets, including candidates holding the highest levels of UK Security Clearance.
Working closely with our Security & Intelligence business and People & Culture team, the Talent Acquisition Partner will manage end-to-end recruitment campaigns, build sustainable talent pipelines and provide trusted recruitment guidance to hiring managers.
The role requires a strong understanding of the challenges associated with recruitment in secure environments, including clearance eligibility, nationality requirements, candidate engagement and the limited availability of specialist skills.
