Actica’s continued success means that it’s looking to continue to grow at 20% year-on-year. The Talent Acquisition Team is pivotal in facilitating this growth by sourcing candidates who meet our exacting recruitment standards. This role is busy and so being able to juggle tasks whilst maintaining attention to detail is critical.

This is a great opportunity to further your career in recruitment and administration within a growing and highly successful professional services organisation. You will contribute to our Talent Acquisition function by supporting key processes and ensuring candidates have a positive experience.

Our office is on the Surrey Research Park in Guildford. We are a small, energetic and friendly team, with high stakeholder expectations and standards. Attention to detail, prioritising workload and staying on top of tasks are key elements in this role. Being a people function, we are open and approachable; personality and drive is as important as professional experience.

You will provide recruitment and administrative support to the Head of Talent Acquisition, helping to recruit graduates and experienced consultants. You will be encouraged to take further ownership of these processes as you progress in your career with us.
