Do you spot talent before the business realises it needs it?
Do you love the thrill of persuading someone brilliant to make a bold move?
Are you obsessed by shaping the future team — not just filling today’s vacancy?
If you’re an experienced in-house talent professional who thinks in pipelines, succession and long-term workforce design… we’d love to hear from you.
We’re Tiro. A leading provider of science and technology apprenticeships. We’ve got big ambitions and we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to shape who joins Tiro and what we’re capable of becoming.
The Role
This is not a “post and pray” recruitment role. This is not recruitment by reaction. This is capability by design.
You won’t wait for vacancies to appear. You’ll see them coming. You’ll map markets before we need them. Build pipelines before the business feels the gap. Start conversations long before a job description exists.
As our Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll operate as a true business partner to senior leaders, influencing workforce design, not just filling gaps.
You’ll sit alongside senior leaders and influence workforce decisions.
-
What are we building?
-
What capability do we need next?
-
Do we build it? Buy it? Sequence it differently?
You’ll bring market intelligence, commercial awareness and bold thinking to those conversations.
When it comes to senior, specialist and hard-to-find roles, you’ll lead from the front. Proper search. Proper mapping. Proper engagement.
You’ll tap high-calibre individuals on the shoulder. You’ll hold career-led conversations that surface real ambition. You’ll create pull, not push job specs. You’ll take time to understand what truly drives them and create win:win, mutual benefit.
You’ll own searches end-to-end. Raise the bar. Protect candidate experience. Make every hire count.
You’ll use data to track pipeline health and sharpen decisions. Keep systems tight. Visibility high. Standards higher.
You’ll help shape how Tiro shows up in the talent market — bold, ambitious, purpose-led. Every touchpoint reinforcing who we are and why exceptional people should want in.
And when needed? You’ll support apprenticeship hiring with the same obsession for quality. Because apprentices aren’t volume. They’re future capability.
About You
You don’t fill jobs. You build exceptional teams.
You bring serious in-house talent acquisition experience. You understand workforce planning, succession and long-term capability. You think beyond the vacancy. You think about what this hire changes.
You’ve led executive search properly. You map markets with intent. You know where the high-performers sit. You’re confident approaching passive talent and holding conversations that feel credible, commercial and human.
You’ll be the guardian of our culture. You’ll challenge constructively. You influence without ego. You’re brave enough to say, “We’re not hiring this person— here’s why.”
You’re proactive to the point of obsessive. Pipelines don’t go cold on your watch. You plan ahead. You anticipate. You stay curious about the market.
You’re commercially sharp. You understand growth, risk and trade-offs. You care about return on hire, not just time to hire.
You’re disciplined. Your data is clean. Your systems are tight. Your judgement is strong. You combine instinct with insight and you’re always looking for a smarter way.
You design exceptional hiring processes that WOW. Catching people in, not out. You care deeply about candidate experience. You protect it fiercely because how we treat people says everything about who we are.
You understand employer brand isn’t fluff. It’s fuel. You help shape how Tiro shows up — ambitious, purposeful, unapologetically high standard. You attract people who want to build something that matters.
You don’t hide behind your title. You get involved. You support apprenticeship hiring when needed. You raise the bar for yourself and others.
You Think Win-Win. You bring a Growth Mindset. You behave like a Pacesetter.
Because you know this. Who joins Tiro shapes our culture. Our capability. And our impact.

Think Win-Win — exercising courage and consideration.
