Talent Delivery Analyst

Talentsquare’s Talent Access & Deployment practice is the engine of our recruitment and workforce deployment work. We need a Talent Delivery Analyst to execute end‑to‑end delivery of mid‑level and senior placements, as well as Circuit node/pod deployments.

This is not a sourcing‑only role. You will own candidate screening, interview coordination, offer management, and Circuit deployment execution – working closely with the Operations Coordinator to ensure seamless client delivery. You are the person who makes sure the right talent meets the right opportunity, on time, every time.

About the Role

This role sits at the execution layer of Talentsquare’s Talent Access & Deployment practice. You will:

• Source and screen candidates for mid‑to‑senior roles using Boolean search and advanced sourcing techniques
  

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from brief to offer acceptance
  

• Execute Circuit deployments – matching nodes (individuals) and pods (teams) to client needs
  

• Maintain a clean, auditable candidate pipeline in our CRM
  

• Report daily to the Operations Coordinator, who manages your workflow and escalations
  

If you are organised, hungry, and take pride in delivering quality talent outcomes – this role was designed for you.

• Daily check‑in with Operations Coordinator (15 mins) to review priorities and blockers
  

• Escalate hard‑to‑fill roles or client expectation mismatches to Ops, who will involve the founder only when necessary
