Our people are at the heart of our business, and we are looking for those that are just as passionate about that as we are. Join our People team, and come with us on a journey as we transform the way we do HR. Our team is made up of business partners working with leaders to get the most out of their teams, specialist knowledge in our centres of expertise, and colleague-centric, efficient people services. Our work ranges from making sure that our 150,000+ colleagues are paid on time to attracting brilliant talent to drive our strategy, to unlocking the skills and capability of our colleagues. This is a fast-moving business, and we make sure our policies and rewards keep up with that too. We know flexibility is important and helps you be more productive so there's more choice than ever about where and when you work. When it comes to your development, we'll support your growth in your own unique way. When you join us, you’ll be joining a team that knows just what it means to be happy and engaged, and who makes a real impact across our business.
Why join us
As our Executive Recruitment Manager, you will join a small but effective team and help attract the best talent to our leadership teams across all business units. You will be responsible for executing search work directly, as well as owning and directly managing relationships with our preferred external search firms. Whether the search is performed directly or via a third-party supplier, it is the responsibility of the Executive Recruitment Manager to ensure we have a robust and thorough process in place.
What you'll do
You will be a key member of the Executive Recruitment Team, responsible for attracting top talent to our leadership teams across all business units. Working closely with Heads of HR, Talent Leaders, and Hiring Managers, you will develop strong partnerships to support and fulfil their executive-level recruitment requirements. With deep expertise in all aspects of executive search, including candidate sourcing, generation and development, shortlisting presentations, and stakeholder management, you will ensure a robust and thorough recruitment process.
Additionally, you will provide a high-level candidate experience, championing a candidate-led culture from initial engagement to onboarding. Your research background and knowledge of the UK employment landscape will help you develop attraction strategies and maintain a strong external network to stay abreast of industry best practices and market trends. Overall, your commitment to exceptional candidate and stakeholder relationship management, passion for diversity in recruitment, and strong communication and influencing skills will contribute to the success of the Executive Recruitment function at Sainsbury's.
Who you are
You are a highly experienced recruitment professional with a deep understanding of the UK Retail / FMCG industries. With a background in executive search or senior appointments, you possess comprehensive expertise in all aspects of Executive Recruitment, from candidate sourcing and development to stakeholder management and offer negotiations. Your commitment to building diverse talent pipelines and providing exceptional candidate and stakeholder relationship management sets you apart. With excellent communication and presentation skills, you excel in building strong internal and external networks, collaborating with senior leaders, and influencing decision-making. Your passion for talent acquisition, curiosity about the external market, and knowledge of best-in-class sourcing techniques contribute to the success of our leadership recruitment strategies.
