About this role
Talent Acquisition Recruiter – Maternity Cover
London | Full time | 4 days in the office + 1 day from home | Approx. 12 months
At Inditex, recruitment is about much more than filling vacancies.
It’s about connecting with people, spotting potential, understanding our brands and helping candidates find their path with us.
We’re looking for an energetic, creative and proactive Recruiter to join our London Talent Acquisition team and support recruitment across our retail management population in the UK and Ireland.
You’ll need to trust your eye for talent, know how to engage people from the very first conversation and enjoy accompanying candidates through their journey with us — from first contact to contract.
What you’ll be doing
Own end-to-end recruitment for retail management positions across the UK and Ireland.
Proactively identify and connect with talent through LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, Recruitee and new sourcing channels you bring to the table.
Build relationships with candidates and guide them through their recruitment journey, making sure every interaction feels engaging, personal and transparent.
Partner closely with HR Managers and Area Managers, understanding their teams, their stores and the talent they need.
Run one-to-one interviews, group interviews, Recruitment Days and Branding events.
Visit stores, markets and events to stay connected to what is happening in retail and where the best talent is.
Build strong talent pipelines before the vacancy even exists.
Get involved in creative Talent Acquisition projects — from recruitment partnerships and employer branding to talent strategy, corporate projects and digital initiatives.
Constantly look for better ways to recruit. If one route doesn’t work, you find another.
Who we’re looking for
You probably have around 2–3 years of recruitment experience within retail and a strong understanding of the UK market.
You’ll also be someone who:
Has strong experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and genuinely enjoys proactive sourcing.
Knows how to connect with candidates and turn a first conversation into real interest.
Has a strong eye for talent and is confident assessing potential, not just matching CVs to job descriptions.
Understands fashion and retail and is curious about brands, competitors and the market.
Brings energy, personality and strong communication skills.
Is confident working with demanding stakeholders and comfortable challenging when needed.
Thinks outside the box and doesn’t accept “there are no candidates” as the final answer.
Takes ownership, works autonomously and brings ideas rather than waiting for direction.
Is organised enough to manage multiple recruitment processes, stakeholders and projects at the same time.
Experience with Recruitee, Indeed or similar recruitment platforms is a plus.
If you love fashion, people and the challenge of finding the right talent — and you want a role where your ideas can genuinely shape how we recruit — we’d love to meet you.
