Recruitment Consultant - Permanent

At delaware UK, our in-house Talent Acquisition & Recruitment team is entering an exciting new chapter - and we’re looking for a recruiter to help us shape it. Over the past few years several of our recruiters have grown into new roles right across the business. It’s a story we’re genuinely proud of, and exactly the kind of career mobility delaware is known for.

Now we’re building a lean, AI-enabled talent function, and you’ll be one of just two recruiters at the heart of it.

This is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone in the early to mid-stages of their career (around 1–3 years' experience). It requires a versatile skill set. You’ll recruit across every area of our business: from early careers and emerging talent to our back-office and internal support roles, through to our core consulting and technology hires across the SAP and Microsoft practices. No two weeks will look the same, and you’ll flex your priorities as demand shifts. And because the right people rarely just land with us, actively hunting for talent - going out to find and win it, rather than waiting for applications to arrive - sits right at the heart of this role.

You’ll report to the recruitment lead, who is managing high demand right now - so from day one you’ll take real ownership, work with autonomy and make an immediate impact. And we like to work smart, not just hard: you’ll be someone who embraces delaware’s AI tools to streamline the admin, move faster, and spend more of your time on the human side of recruitment

We exist to help our clients reach their full potential, by applying our common sense, business experience and passion for technology. 

Delaware is a global consultancy that partners with leading technology providers such as SAP (Platinum Partner) and Microsoft to deliver advanced digital solutions. We develop, innovate and implement technology transformations guiding our clients towards an intelligent future.

Everyone at Delaware is a steward of the business. We are building for the future and for those that succeed us and we take responsibility for our relationship with the social and ecological environment.

• Managing recruitment end to end: across early careers, back-office/support and consulting/technology roles - from taking the brief through to a signed offer and a smooth start.
• Partnering with hiring managers: across the business to understand what they really need, agree the approach, and keep them updated with clear, confident communication.
• Actively hunting for talent: the right people rarely just land with us, so you’ll proactively headhunt and engage candidates through LinkedIn, referrals, talent pools and your own creativity, building our own pipelines and relying less on agencies.
• Owning a brilliant candidate experience: screening, coordinating and running interviews (using our structured Interview Central approach), and guiding people through offer and onboarding.
• Getting the most out of our AI tools: think Microsoft Copilot and our recruitment technology - to draft adverts and job descriptions, screen and schedule, and cut the admin so you can focus on people.
• Keeping our systems sharp: maintaining accurate records in our applicant tracking system (SAP SuccessFactors) and using data to track pipelines and share simple, useful reporting.
• Flexing with a changing market: comfortably shifting between role types and priorities as business demand rises and falls.
• Championing our employer brand: making sure every candidate, successful or not, comes away with a great impression of Delaware

• Do you have around 1–3 years’ recruitment experience, in-house or agency? Bonus points if you’ve recruited across more than one type of technology.
• Experience recruiting for SAP and/or Microsoft Dynamics 365. We're looking for someone who can bring relevant expertise while also embracing the opportunity to recruit across our full range of practices and role types.
• Are you happy juggling several roles at once and shifting gears when priorities change? A busy, evolving environment brings out your best.
• Are you a proactive hunter - confident headhunting and sourcing directly, and happy to go out and find great people rather than waiting for them to come to you? For us this is essential: the right talent rarely just lands in our inbox.
• Are you genuinely curious about AI, and excited to use tools like Copilot or Cowork to work smarter? We’d love someone who sees technology as a helping hand, not a threat.
• Are you a natural communicator and relationship-builder, with hiring managers and candidates alike?
• Are you organised, self-sufficient and adaptable - able to take ownership and run with things in a small, hands-on team?
• Have you had a taste of early careers or back-office/support recruitment? A real plus — but a willingness to work across all areas is what matters most.
• And finally… do our company values appeal to you?

We attract and retain only the best people who share our values and thrive in our culture. We strive for the highest levels of excellence in all that we do – with our clients, our people, our business, our careers.

We do the right thing to satisfy our clients, combining quiet confidence and a human touch.  We are open, positive, enthusiastic and energetic. At Delaware we value and invest in personal competence as much as technical competence and we all want to help each other succeed. We value diversity for the breadth of perspectives and skills it brings us and the better results it produces.

We enjoy each other’s company. We work hard together and we have fun together. We trust one another.

Underpinning our culture are our core values. They are a living part of our daily interactions, influencing what we do and how we do it. They guide how we work with our colleagues, customers, and partners.

Care - we take responsibility. Commitment - we commit, we deliver. Community -  we are better together. Respect - inclusive and diverse. Entrepreneurship - we cherish creativity and drive

Please note that it is a legal requirement that you have the right to work in the UK by the time you commence employment.  We therefore ask those shortlisted for interview to provide evidence of their right to work in the UK during the recruitment process.  

Delaware holds a sponsor licence but not all roles are suitable for sponsorship, especially as, in some cases, individuals are required to work on long term client contracts, and this is not permitted under the sponsorship regime. Also, in some case individuals may be required to work in Ireland or elsewhere in Europe at short notice.  If you do not currently have the right to work in the UK we will still consider your application.  

If your application is successful beyond the first interview stage we will consider whether sponsorship is a possibility or, where appropriate, whether there are any other immigration options available but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that sponsorship will always be possible.
