What you bring:

To excel as a Senior Staffing Specialist, your background should reflect substantial experience in talent management or resource planning, ideally gained within professional services or similarly structured organisations. Your interpersonal skills will be central: you thrive on building trust-based relationships with colleagues at every level, listening carefully to understand their aspirations while balancing broader business needs. Your approach is empathetic yet pragmatic; you enjoy finding solutions that benefit individuals as well as teams. A keen eye for detail helps you manage complex workflows efficiently without losing sight of the bigger picture. You bring an openness to new ideas welcoming feedback as an opportunity for shared learning and demonstrate resilience when navigating change. Above all, your commitment to inclusivity ensures everyone feels supported on their career journey.

• Bachelor’s degree in a business-related discipline or organisational psychology; qualifications in people or operations-related fields would be advantageous.
