Talent Acquisition Partner

Description

We're looking for a proactive, research-driven and highly organised Talent Acquisition Partner to own sourcing and build the talent pipelines behind Kpler's global growth. You'll identify, engage, and nurture hard-to-reach candidates across multiple regions and functions, partnering closely with hiring managers to turn market insight into a steady flow of high-quality conversations. This is a unique opportunity to shape how we find and attract the talent that powers Kpler's growth.
Your Mission at Kpler
Own proactive sourcing across a wide variety of roles and functions (Sales, Marketing and Business Units and more), generating a consistent flow of qualified, engaged candidates.
Run market mapping and talent landscape analysis to identify where target talent sits and share those insights with recruiters and hiring managers.
Design and refine advanced searches and sourcing strategies across LinkedIn Recruiter, professional communities, and other channels.
Craft personalised outreach and multi-touch engagement sequences that earn replies and convert passive candidates into conversations.
Build and maintain long-term talent pools and nurture campaigns for critical and niche roles in commodities, energy, maritime, data, and engineering.
Partner with hiring managers from intake onwards: calibrate the ideal candidate profile, advise on market availability, and agree a sourcing strategy for each role.
Run initial screening conversations to qualify and warm up candidates before handing over to the recruiting team and hiring managers.
Track and report sourcing metrics (response rates, pipeline conversion, source of hire, pipeline diversity) to identify what works and optimise channels accordingly.
Continuously test new sourcing tools, channels, and techniques, and share best practice to raise sourcing capability across the People team.
Support employer branding initiatives by shaping outreach messaging and candidate-facing content that reflects how Kpler is perceived in the market.
Collaborate with the broader People team to ensure a consistent, top-tier candidate experience across all regions.
