ABOUT US

In order to compete in an increasingly competitive talent market, UCL is changing the way we deliver recruitment to the university, moving away from a reactive, advertising-based model to a proactive search-based model which will be an innovative departure from the standard approach within the higher education sector. Initially establishing a team as proof of concept for professional services roles, the ambition is to deliver this service for all positions. This involves a complete overhaul of our systems and processes relating to recruitment, the creation and delivery of a new recruitment strategy, with measurable targets and outcomes which will enable UCL to attract the brightest and best talent and enable progression for our internal talent to support our academic mission.
To support this change we have an exciting opportunity for an Executive Search Recruiter to join our newly created in-house Executive Search Team vital to the success of strategically important senior leader appointments across both UCL’s VP Offices and world leading faculties.

The Executive Search Recruiter will assist in identifying, sourcing, and recruiting executive talent for our internal stakeholder groups and will support headhunting and administrative related activities for senior leader appointments. The successful candidate will work closely with the Executive Search Manager to support the successful delivery of end-to-end executive level recruitment processes providing a high value candidate and hiring manager experience focusing on reducing time to hire and cost per hire amongst other KPIs.

Main Responsibilities:

• You will use your proven innovative sourcing methodologies, market mapping capability and proactive candidate generation skills to attract high quality applicants to UCL.
• You will support hiring managers and candidates through all stages of the search recruitment cycle from initial candidate outreach to recruitment outcome.
• You will have a laser focus on candidate and hiring manager experience, ensuring a continuous improvement mindset is implemented throughout the recruitment experience.
