We strongly believe in the value that diversity brings to our experiences and are committed to the perpetual enhancements of initiatives, policies, and practices. We hold ourselves accountable by providing the space for authenticity, growth, and equity for everyone. AlixPartners has embraced a hybrid work model to provide flexibility and support our employees’ work-life integration.

What you’ll do
This position is part of the EMEA Recruitment team, which is in the wider Corporate Services function that comprises ODHR, Administration, Marketing, Legal, Finance, IT, Facilities, and Business Intelligence. Corporate Services is the backbone of support to the management consultants, enabling AlixPartners to continue to deliver critical thinking and results-driven solutions to its clients in high-impact and high-value situations.
The EMEA Recruitment team is responsible for attracting and selecting exceptional talent into the firm. The team is extremely proud of the organisation we support and takes the responsibility of recruitment seriously. We therefore require an individual who can be an integral part of the team to add value, protect the candidate experience, and share the rest of the team’s passion for excellence.
We are a fast-paced, dynamic, and dedicated team; and we are looking for someone to join us, who can administer and support us with the vigor and energy needed to deliver exceptional results in a professional and polished way. You will have a proactive and meticulous approach and will be a valued colleague.
The UK Recruitment Team requires dedicated support with a range of tasks, including international travel arrangements for candidates, candidate interview/assessment scheduling, event management, and day-to-day administration.
Our environment is high touch, fast-paced, and proactive; therefore, the successful candidate will have the confidence to make decisions independently, yet also know when consultation is necessary. Proactivity in anticipating and flagging problems, suggesting solutions and more efficient ways of working, and willingness to support all other team members would be highly valuable.
A key part of finding the right people is the AlixPartners assessment. You will be required to schedule assessment sessions for prospective permanent hires and Independent Contractors, managing the candidate on the day of the assessment; hosting the candidate, issuing papers, and ensuring they are given the correct amounts of time.
Flexibility is essential; you must be dedicated to the regular tasks that you will autonomously manage – document scanning and saving, replenishing stock of assessment materials, electronic filing system maintenance, applicant tracking system maintenance – combined with an enthusiasm to take on challenging ad hoc projects as they arise. An interest in recruitment itself and event organisation would be highly advantageous, as the team explores new routes of attracting the right candidates.
You will be required to work with colleagues across the business, including: promptly sending candidate assessment documents and details to the Assessments team in the USA; scheduling interviews and calls with Managing Directors through their PAs; ordering supplies from and managing meeting rooms with Facilities; consulting with Marketing when collateral is required or new advertising opportunities are being explored; and assisting Human Resources and Talent Management with the onboarding process.
