Full Time
Join one of the UK’s largest electrical wholesalers as we reimagine our technology for the digital age. We’re modernising our legacy systems and building new platforms powered by AWS and AI — and we need creative minds to help us shape the future!
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner with a strong background in technology recruitment to join our Global IT Talent Acquisition team. Established in 2022, the team has already saved the business over £1.6M in agency spend while building a direct-sourcing model that supports IT’s ambitious digital evolution.
In this role, you’ll partner with hiring managers across EMEA to deliver an exceptional recruitment experience — from shaping briefs and building pipelines to onboarding new joiners. You’ll be at the heart of building high-performing teams across engineering, data science, serverless cloud, and more, while helping shape the culture, processes, and future of our growing TA function.
Founded in 1951 in Kenilworth, UK, City Electrical Factors (CEF) has grown into a world-leading electrical wholesale and manufacturing business with over 400 branches across the UK and a strong presence in the USA, Canada, Spain and Australia.
Our IT and digital teams are driving the next chapter of our journey... Re-engineering legacy systems, adopting modern cloud technologies and exploring AI to deliver faster, smarter and more connected customer experiences.
We’re a predominantly remote workforce with teams distributed across the UK, USA, Canada, Spain and Australia. Our culture is collaborative, forward-thinking and people-focused — where your ideas and contributions genuinely matter.
Our Mission:
City is a world leading electrical wholesale and manufacturing business providing electrical products to the industry. We in IT are delivering value to our business and our customers with the implementation of packaged software and bespoke engineering for the digital age using AWS serverless technology. We need talented and creative people across all areas to join us in rearchitecting our forward thinking business over the next few years and beyond as we evolve.
