S Guest Consultancy Services Ltd
City, Wolverhampton
Our client is a growing and successful construction business looking to appoint a highly organised, driven and commercially minded Talent Acquisition Partner to take ownership of its workforce requirements. This is a hands-on operational role with a clear purpose: ensuring the business has the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time. The successful candidate will take responsibility for workforce planning, recruitment, mobilisation, onboarding, training and competency, attendance, productivity and retention. Working closely with Directors, operational managers and site-based employees, the role will ensure workforce requirements are identified early and that decisive action is taken to address recruitment, performance, skills and retention challenges. Our client is looking for someone practical, proactive and highly action-orientated; someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, finding people, chasing information, challenging poor performance and making sure things get done. The successful candidate will take ownership of the workforce journey from initial recruitment through to onboarding, development, performance and retention. Key Responsibilities Workforce Planning Maintain a live, forward-looking workforce plan aligned to current workload and upcoming contracts. Work closely with Directors and operational managers to understand future labour requirements. Identify workforce gaps and recruitment requirements early, rather than reacting when vacancies become urgent. Plan for upcoming projects, contracts, peaks in workload and changes in operational requirements. Ensure the business has the right balance of skills, experience and capacity to deliver its workload. Provide regular updates to Directors on current and future workforce requirements. Recruitment Take ownership of proactively finding and recruiting the people the business needs. Build and maintain a strong pipeline of potential candidates. Use a combination of recruitment agencies, direct approaches, social media and other relevant channels to identify suitable candidates. Develop strong relationships with recruitment agencies and ensure they deliver suitable candidates. Write and manage recruitment advertising across relevant platforms and social media. Screen candidates and coordinate interviews with hiring managers. Keep the recruitment process moving quickly and efficiently. Ensure strong candidates are not lost through unnecessary delays. Maintain clear records of vacancies, candidates and recruitment progress. Onboarding & Mobilisation Own the onboarding process from offer through to the individual's first day and beyond. Ensure all required documentation, checks, qualifications and certifications are completed promptly. Coordinate with managers to ensure new starters are properly prepared for their role. Ensure new employees have the equipment, information, training and site arrangements required to start effectively. Ensure new starters receive appropriate inductions and understand company expectations. Continually review the onboarding process and remove unnecessary delays or administration. Training, Qualifications & Competency Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of training, qualifications, certifications and competencies. Monitor upcoming expiry dates and ensure renewals are arranged in good time. Identify skills gaps across the workforce. Work with managers to establish training and development requirements. Coordinate relevant training and certification. Ensure employees are appropriately trained and competent for the work they undertake. Develop a forward-looking skills plan aligned with the company's future workload. Apprenticeships & Future Workforce Build strong relationships with local colleges, training providers and apprenticeship organisations. Develop a pipeline of apprentices and future-skilled employees. Identify opportunities to bring new talent into the business. Work with managers to identify suitable apprenticeship and training opportunities. Help develop career pathways that encourage good people to stay and progress within the business. Support the company's long-term approach to developing its own workforce rather than relying solely on external recruitment. Retention & Employee Engagement Identify practical reasons why good employees may leave or become disengaged. Work closely with managers and employees to understand workforce issues. Take action to resolve avoidable problems affecting retention. Maintain regular communication with employees and ensure concerns are dealt with promptly. Identify and share good practice across teams. Help create an environment where good people want to stay, develop and progress. Process Improvement Continually review and improve recruitment, onboarding, mobilisation and workforce processes. Identify unnecessary delays, duplication or administration and introduce more effective ways of working. Introduce simple, effective systems that provide Directors and managers with clear workforce information. Ensure workforce data is accurate, current and useful. Help develop processes and systems that can grow with the business. About You Our client is looking for someone who is exceptionally organised, relentless and action-orientated. You will be someone who naturally follows things through rather than waiting for someone else to chase them. The successful candidate will ideally: Have experience in recruitment, workforce management, HR, operations or a similar people-focused role. Have experience within construction, engineering, utilities or facilities management. Be confident recruiting through both agencies and direct channels. Be comfortable picking up the phone and actively finding candidates. Be highly organised and able to manage multiple vacancies, people and deadlines simultaneously.
