Job Description
Bath Spa University is seeking an innovative Head of Recruitment to lead and deliver cutting-edge resourcing solutions. This role focuses on developing sustainable staff recruitment strategies, optimizing our employer value proposition (EVP), and enhancing our recruitment branding across all platforms.
About the role
You will oversee a smooth and efficient recruitment process, enhancing both the candidate and hiring manager experience and will lead the recruitment team, providing expert guidance and support. Collaborating with senior managers, you will understand strategic recruitment needs and determine the best resourcing strategies. Proactive sourcing of hard-to-fill or senior roles through headhunting, microsites, and video content will be essential.
Setting and reviewing key performance indicators (KPIs) will be a critical part of the role, ensuring effective recruitment processes and annual reporting on trends. You will embed our EVP through recruitment marketing techniques aligned with the University's values and culture and will build BSU’s presence on social media to increase engagement. Implementing initiatives to improve workforce diversity and ensuring recruitment efforts align with the University’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) Strategy is vital. Inclusive recruitment practices must be maintained throughout the candidate journey, and you will influence line managers to prioritise talent diversity.
Establishing and managing a talent pool process for future vacancies will be part of your remit, as well as building external networks to stay updated on recruitment trends and advising the University accordingly.
About you
You will have proven expertise in employee resourcing strategies and recruitment processes, strong leadership and team management skills, and experience in developing and implementing EVP. Proficiency in utilising social media for recruitment, a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and excellent communication and relationship-building skills are essential.
