Talent Acquisition Manager

About _nology

At _nology, we create opportunities for people to build meaningful careers in tech, while helping organisations access diverse, future-ready talent.

As a tech talent consultancy, we support high potential individuals to build careers across software engineering, cloud, data, testing, business analysis, and digital transformation. What matters most to us is the opportunity behind that: opening doors, building confidence, and creating access to an industry that has not always felt accessible.

We are now looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to help us deliver this at scale.

Role Overview

The Talent Acquisition Manager is responsible for the end-to-end acquisition of high-potential talent into _nology’s training cohorts, and for ensuring their progression through to successful client deployment.

This role combines strategic planning with hands -on delivery, requiring clear oversight of pipeline demand alongside a structured, compliant, and high-quality recruitment process.

You will operate at the centre of the business, working closely with Training, Account Management, Service Delivery, Marketing, and HR to align talent supply with client demand, deployment targets, and commercial priorities, ensuring pipeline activity directly supports revenue delivery and minimises bench risk.

You will also own pipeline visibility, data quality, and reporting accuracy, ensuring all talent tracking is reliable, audit-ready, and supports effective business decision-making.

Operating in a fast paced, scaling environment, you will manage multiple priorities with strong organisation, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
