Talent Acquisition Specialist

Talent Acquisition Specialist (sorry, we couldn''t make this shorter) More than recruitment. Real relationships. Real impact. Real growth. Location: Hybrid / Remote (Northern Ireland) Company: ScaleX Talent Solutions (part of the Simple Scaling) Lets start with this: If you believe recruitment is about people, purpose and partnership (not just filling roles or hitting KPIs) If you love understanding the why behind a business and matching it with the who that will help it grow If you care about making the right placement , not the fastest one You might have just found your home. Who we are (and why were different) ScaleX Talent Solutions is the talent arm of Simple Scaling - the mothership behind: An elite leadership programme for CEOs/MDs of scaling SMEs A bestselling business book A top-ranked podcast Regular events with world-class speakers A thriving community of 70 ambitious growing companies (10300 employees) These arent random clients. These are leaders we know deeply - their vision, values, culture, personalities and ambitions. That is our unfair advantage. When we recruit, we dont guess. We understand. Which means our work is deeper, more meaningful, and incredibly effective. What youll actually do Youll work in two powerful ways: 1 Talent Connect (15 hires) Traditional recruitment but done properly. We go deep into the business. We shape the role. We source, shortlist, interview, advise, and sometimes even sit on the panel. Its recruitment as partnership, not transaction. 2 Talent Ignite (RPO model) When a client needs to scale fast (e.g. 10 hires), we plug in as their internal Talent Partner. You become part of their team. You influence strategy, process, employer brand, org design and hiring delivery. Its like being Head of Talent for one company - without leaving ours. (Each Talent Acquisition Specialist owns only one Ignite at a time , to protect quality and impact.) Why this role matters You wont just fill jobs. Youll help founders and leadership teams design their future organisations. Youll get involved in: Org design Workforce planning (1224 months ahead) Resource strategy Employer brand & storytelling Interview design & assessment Talent roadmaps Culture alignment Leadership advisory Youll be a trusted partner, not a supplier.

Youll: Attend leadership workshops Learn from world-class speakers Access the Simple Scaling framework Develop mindset, influence and strategic thinking Build relationships with CEOs and founders. This role grows YOU as fast as you grow others. What we value Authenticity over ego Relationships over transactions Purpose over profit (profit follows purpose) Curiosity and learning Doing the right thing, not the easy thing Making a real difference in peoples lives Lets talk about the reality (the 20 / 60 / 20 rule) We believe in being honest: 20% of the time - youre flying. Clients are thrilled. Candidates accept. The impact is huge. You feel unstoppable. 20% of the time - recruitment is hard. No-shows. Counteroffers. Delays. Things go sideways. Youll need resilience, problem solving, and the ability to say: This will pass. 60% of the time - its your mindset that makes the difference. This is the space where you choose: Empowered or discouraged? Abundance (great companies, amazing candidates, endless opportunity) or scarcity (nothings working, no ones hiring)?
