Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is a globally renowned centre of excellence in teaching and research dedicated to combating tropical diseases. For over 125 years, LSTM has been at the forefront of improving global health, focusing on diseases that primarily affect developing countries. Our work drives meaningful change, making a tangible impact on the lives of those who need it most.
Due to an internal promotion, we’re excited to offer an opportunity for a proactive Talent Acquisition Partner to join our team in Liverpool. In this role, you’ll have ownership of specific business functions, managing the entire candidate lifecycle for a variety of academic and professional services positions across all levels.
You’ll take the lead in designing creative direct sourcing strategies for niche roles, delivering exceptional service to internal stakeholders, and crafting an outstanding candidate experience. Your expertise in leveraging data and market intelligence will play a critical role in influencing decision-making processes, with a strong focus on identifying opportunities to enhance diversity in our candidate pipelines.
Whilst the majority of your work will focus on UK recruitment, this role offers a global reach. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders from our international hubs in Kenya, Malawi, and Zimbabwe, and work closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager on executive-level roles and strategic initiatives.
The Talent Acquisition team has undergone significant transformation over the last few years, and we’re ready to take things to the next level. This includes building our employer brand and EVP strategy, enhancing our interview processes, and providing training for hiring managers so any previous experience in these areas will be highly valued.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Proactively lead on sourcing talent, using a range of creative sourcing/headhunting techniques, for roles both in the UK and overseas.
* Assess additional suitable platforms for recruitment, such as specialist job boards, social media, journals, publications, and networks and lead on recommendations for engagement.
* Lead the creation of departmental talent acquisition strategies and action plans, developing talent pipelines for critical vacancies, as identified through succession plans.
* Perform first stage screening assessments (video interview/phone interview/CV screen) and submit pre-qualified shortlists to hiring managers.
* Coordinate interview processes, offering support in interviews as appropriate.
* Manage the full offer and negotiation process, ensuring a smooth handover with our People Services team, who guide candidates through the onboarding process.
* Take ownership for specific aspects of strategic projects.
Ideally, you’ll be able to bring the following experience to this role:
* Significant experience in talent acquisition, ideally from an in-house recruitment role.
* Experience of utilising innovative sourcing techniques, direct sourcing capability and delivering a first-class candidate and hiring manager experience.
* Demonstrable experience of leading the delivery of multiple, diverse recruitment campaigns that vary in profession and seniority level.
* Experience of managing the full lifecycle of recruitment campaigns from the planning and design stage through to issuing offers and onboarding.
* Experience working to targets and delivering against KPIs.
* Experience of contributing to building an employer brand.
* Previous experience of hiring within education and/or global recruitment is an advantage, but not essential.
Additional benefits of joining LSTM:
* 30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and 6 additional Christmas closure days.
* Generous occupational pension scheme with 14.5% employer contributions.
* Affiliated, discounted staff membership to the University of Liverpool Sports Centre.
* Employee assistance programme to support with employee well-being.
* High street discounts and cashback offers.
* Government-backed cycle to work scheme.
* Plus, a host of additional family friendly policies.
