Our Company
At Quantum, we connect global brands with high-intent consumers. We turn intent into action and complexity into clarity.
Our Mission is clear, to help smarter, faster buying decisions. Our vision, to be the world’s most used digital comparison service, delivering value and simplicity to millions.
We drive growth through data-driven affiliate marketing built for performance from day one. Every campaign is measurable, optimised in real time, and designed to scale.
With in-house tech, full-stack analytics, and a compliance-first mindset, we give our partners an edge. We drive confident decisions and growth in regulated and high-growth sectors. We’ve helped ambitious brands grow faster, smarter, and globally.
The Role
Our Talent Acquisition team is growing! We’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to join our team in London.
In this role you will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on hiring, own our most complex and senior searches from intake through offer and acceptance, and lead improvements that help the whole TA team hire faster and rely less on agencies. This is a senior individual contributor role, working as a peer to our TA Managers.
Key Responsibilities
Own senior, confidential and particularly complex searches personally, from intake through offer and acceptance, sourcing directly and building the pipeline yourself
Translate the approved hiring plan into a delivery plan for your portfolio, advising the Head of TA on capacity, trade-offs and risks, and recommending agency or tool use where it is needed
Partner with senior business leaders as a trusted advisor on hiring strategy, talent availability, market conditions and compensation, challenging requirements when the evidence supports a change
Bring market insight and talent data into conversations with hiring managers, and turn business goals into hiring plans and targets
Coach hiring managers beyond process compliance, helping them spot gaps, bias and blind spots and make fair, consistent, evidence-based decisions
Improve intake quality, structured assessment, interviewer preparation and candidate communication, and take ownership of the improvement projects agreed with the Head of TA
Lead reviews of your searches, and facilitate wider reviews when agreed with the Head of TA, to spot stalled searches, weak pipelines and decision delays
Strengthen candidate experience, turn candidate feedback into improvements and support employer brand activity where agreed
Share search expertise, mentor peers and support the TA Specialist on complex briefs, leading through expertise and influence rather than line authority
Keep Ashby data reliable, report delivery forecasts, funnel conversion, offer outcomes, quality of hire and risks, and build on our AI-led recruitment tools with people making every hiring decision
About You
Experience delivering senior or complex recruitment in-house, having personally owned end-to-end hiring across multiple role types and levels, not only managed a team that does it
A track record in targeted recruitment campaigns and direct sourcing, with clear examples of what you built and what it produced
Experience influencing and challenging senior leaders and hiring managers as a trusted advisor on talent decisions, without line authority (formal line management experience is not required)
Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to turn business goals into hiring plans and targets
Excellent assessment skills and a good eye for potential, with a commitment to inclusive, structured hiring
Confident using recruitment data and market insight to diagnose problems, forecast delivery and check whether changes are working, with familiarity with ATS platforms and recruitment tools (Ashby is a plus)
Sound judgement with confidential information, experience negotiating offers and strong organisation across several live searches
Helpful but not essential: building a sourcing capability, improving recruitment processes or supporting hiring through organisational growth
You thrive when working as part of a team
Comfortable in a fast-paced environment
Last but not least, you’ll have no ego!
