We believe that people will do their best work when they're in a space that enables it.

What's this role all about?

As part of our Early Talent function, our recruitment team works to make sure our clients bring the best, and most appropriate, early careers talent into the business – with candidate experience at the core. We have shaped recruitment processes and assessment psychology for clients like Worldpay, Evercore, HaysMac and Danone. Our understanding of what makes a best-in-class early careers recruitment process is bolstered by our Early Talent Attraction and Development teams, as we connect all the pillars an Early Talent Strategy needs.

In this role, you’ll be the day-to-day point of contact for recruitment delivery, and ensure our candidate experience team is set up for success. You’ll manage both the client and candidate experience, making data driven decisions and offering strategic direction.

We’re looking for an organised, and enthusiastic individual with a strong attention to detail who will drive forward our recruitment delivery, and ensure excellent candidate and assessor experiences.

What will you spend your time doing?

• Managing and supporting the delivery of high-volume Early Talent Recruitment Campaigns alongside our Head of ET Recruitment. This will include all areas of pipeline management from application screening, to online test and interview management, assessment centre facilitation and offer management.

• Manage the day to day relationships with internal and external project stakeholders; from working with our Key Accounts team to a client CEO, you’ll be expected to drive the project forward and take ownership for the outcomes.

• Coordinating and leading internal teams to hit key project deadlines for areas such as attraction, selection, assessment design, DE&I, hiring targets and project timescales with the support and guidance of the Head of Recruitment.

• Ensuring all of our campaigns are data driven – you’ll be responsible for creating and presenting our data dashboards and using these to direct the overall strategy of the account.

• Work alongside our Candidate Experience team, bringing them on the journey with you and helping them upskill along the way.

Work with our clients to design bespoke and inclusive assessments, in line with their culture and values.

What are we looking for?

• At least two years of end-to-end recruitment experience, gained within an in-house or RPO onsite/agency environment.

• Experience in managing large, high-volume campaigns with proven results.

• A good understanding of DE&I, and experience advocating for it.

• Previous experience working with an ATS and data reporting is essential

• Strong knowledge of the Early Talent market, particularly in a recruitment context

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to provide campaign wrap-up analysis on recruitment campaigns.

• Comfortable working with excel to an intermediate level to analyse campaign data and produce visuals to display this information.

• Exceptional communication skills – internally and externally. We drive to set ourselves apart from competitors by providing the highest level of support to candidates.

What's in for you?

• A Happiness team whose role is to make Wiser the best place to work possible. Whether it’s keeping the office stocked up with snacks, sending you a care package when you’re poorly, or planning the next Wiser party, they make the office a much happier place

• A culture calendar full of options - from black tie to sports day, book club or run club, there’s something for everyone.

• We’re pretty proud of the space we have here - from phone booths to walking pads, all the way to a rainforest for focus-time… whatever vibe you need, you can find it here.

• The W breakfast - our Happiness team makes sure everyone starts the day right with a hotel-worthy breakfast spread. Fancy coffee tap and unlimited fizzies on offer too.

• On top of your holiday allowance, the office also closes for up to 2 weeks over the festive period so we can all recharge before coming back in the new year.

• Wiser Bank Holiday - a beloved Purple People tradition in the form of an extra day off in October each year to celebrate our first ever million-pound-month (Yep, it happened in 2022 and we still celebrate)

• Moving House Day - one of life’s most stressful events made easier by an extra day off.

• Work from Anywhere allowance - everyone has a number of days to work from home or wherever they fancy. Whether it’s staying home to snuggle your cat or working from Greece for a week in the summer, WFA is the answer

• Learning & development - our monthly ‘Wiser Way’ days give you the chance to choose from a selection of training modules taught by our leaders. Whether it’s how to craft the perfect deck with our Creative Director, how to speak confidently about commercials with our CFO, or get some tips on managing for the first time with our Head of People, the schedule has something for everyone

• Therapy - with 5 therapists to choose from, each year you can get up to x3 therapy sessions subsidised through Wiser to take either here in our own secret Log Cabin, externally or online (you pay £20 a session and we cover the rest)

• Vitality Health Insurance - full coverage once you’ve passed probation. From necessities like the dentist, doctors and opticians, to mega rewards like Champneys, gym and travel discounts, it’s a winner.

• Gymbox - once passing probation, you can access our exclusive Wiser x Gymbox partnership where you can bag your Gymbox membership for less than half price.
