Talent and Resourcing Advisor

Job Introduction

We’re not looking for someone to just fill jobs. We’re looking for someone to change how recruitment feels.

We’re looking for a Talent and Resourcing Advisor who can help us find top tier people and make the journey feel brilliant for candidates and hiring managers too.

This isn’t recruitment on autopilot. It’s talent and resourcing with curiosity, pace, data, creativity and a healthy dose of “why don’t we try this?”.

You’ll work across a mix of roles, with a real chance to shape how we attract and hire great people into our customer experience teams - the people supporting our customers every day.

We want someone who can look beyond filling vacancies and help us build better pipelines, sharper attraction plans, fairer assessments and stronger routes for people to move, grow and progress across Yorkshire Housing.

What you’ll get stuck into

You’ll be the person managers come to when they need more than a shortlist - they need insight, challenge and a proper plan. You’ll help them get clear on what they need, use evidence well and apply an equality, diversity and inclusion lens throughout - challenging bias, removing barriers and making sure assessments are accessible. 

You’ll also have space to think ahead, not just who do we need now, but who might we need next, and how could we build, buy or borrow the skills we need. You’ll:

• Shape smart recruitment campaigns for priority, specialist and hard-to-fill roles
• Bring fresh thinking to attraction, customer experience recruitment and proactive talent pipelines
• Use workforce planning, market insight and recruitment data to spot skills gaps and shape better hiring decisions
• Support conversations about talent mobility, internal progression, secondments and career pathways and help managers think through build, buy or borrow options 
• Coach managers to recruit fairly, consistently and confidently
• Design inclusive assessments that help us spot potential, not just polish
• Bring our employer brand to life across digital channels
• Use recruitment tech and our ATS to make the process simpler, slicker and smarter
• Spot opportunities to improve how we work - then help make them happen

What we’re looking for

You’ll know recruitment and resourcing, but what will really excite you is the move towards broader talent thinking - seeing how attraction, assessment, onboarding, internal movement and retention all connect across the colleague journey.

Building trust with hiring managers will come naturally to you. You’ll ask the right questions and help people make good recruitment decisions - even when that means challenging their thinking. Alongside that you’ll bring;

• A real care for candidate experience, inclusion and impact, creating fair processes that spot potential and help everyone feel respected, informed and valued - whether they get the job or not.
• Confidence using recruitment systems, data and market insight to understand what’s working, what isn’t and where we might need to try something different.
• Strong organisation skills, with the ability to juggle priorities, keep things moving, manage the detail and know when to move quickly without cutting corners.
• It would also help if you’ve worked on attraction plans, inclusive assessment methods, talent pipelines, internal mobility, career pathways, employer brand activity or high-volume recruitment.

Most of all, we’re looking for someone curious, proactive and full of ideas. Someone who can deliver well today, while helping us move from recruitment that reacts to vacancies, to talent thinking that helps Yorkshire Housing build capability for the future.

What’s in it for you?

• £37,002 a year for 35 hours a week
• 26 days’ annual leave, rising to 31, plus bank holidays
• A permanent role with space to shape, improve and do things differently
• A great pension offer where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%
• Health and wellbeing support, including a cash plan, free fitness classes, instant My GP access and counselling sessions
• Retail discounts and everyday savings to help your money go further

And because this role is about more than keeping the recruitment wheels turning, you’ll also get the chance to influence how we think about talent, mobility, progression and future capability across Yorkshire Housing.

In short: you’ll get the benefits, the backing and the opportunity to make a real mark.
