About Legend
At Legend, we're building next-level player experiences. With 20+ years of proven success we’re the world's leading Sports and Gaming marketing company.
Our people are our edge. 600+ sharp, ambitious Legends across 22+ countries who move fast, learn quickly and win together. Here growth isn’t a perk, it’s the standard. You’ll stretch, level-up and carve out a career as bold as the products we build. We celebrate wins and create experiences that people talk about for years - for our players & for each other. If you’re ready to shape the future of player experience and enjoy the ride while you do it, this is where you’ll thrive.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Talent Partner who loves the chase and gets results. Someone who knows the gaming talent market inside out, knows where the best people are, and knows how to bring them in.
You'll carry a live portfolio of at least 10 roles at any one time and close at least four a month, across senior, specialist and hard-to-fill searches. You'll partner with senior leaders, challenge thinking that narrows the market, and keep every search moving.
You won't just recruit the way it's always been done. We want someone who brings fresh thinking, uses AI and a modern ATS to work smarter, and helps shape how Talent works at Legend as we grow. For the right person, this role has room to grow into something bigger.
Your Impact
Deliver at pace
• Run a live portfolio of 10+ roles, closing at least four a month without lowering the hiring bar.
• Own every search end to end, from intake to accepted offer.
• Build a clear plan for each role from day one and keep momentum through to close.
• Use funnel data to spot blockers early, make decisions and keep searches moving.
• Set clear expectations with hiring managers and hold yourself and them to account.
Find the talent others miss
• Use your gaming and iGaming network to reach people who aren't looking, and know when to go wide and when to go deep.
• Map markets across locations, competitors and adjacent sectors, and build pipelines for future needs, not just today's vacancies.
• Write outreach that stands out and gets replies from people who ignore most recruiters.
• Use market and pay insight to challenge assumptions about where talent sits and what it costs.
• Build relationships with great people long before there's a role for them.
Change how we hire
• Use AI across the hiring process, from research, mapping and sourcing to outreach, interview design and reporting.
• Get the most from our ATS and automation to cut out low-value admin.
• Test new tools, channels and attraction ideas, measure what works and scale it.
Be a trusted partner
• Lead intake conversations that pin down the real need, what success looks like and the right hiring bar.
• Advise senior leaders using market evidence and data, and push back when a brief limits the market.
• Design focused assessment that tests what actually matters for the role.
• Give every candidate a fast, honest and fair experience.
What You'll bring
A strong track record as a high-performing recruiter in gaming, iGaming or a closely related sector, consistently delivering against a heavy req load.
A proven network in gaming, and the instinct to know where exceptional talent sits and how to win it.
Outstanding direct sourcing skills, with examples of hires others couldn't land.
Hands-on experience using AI tools and a modern ATS to work faster and smarter. Greenhouse experience is a plus.
Credible, commercial relationships with senior stakeholders and the confidence to challenge them.
A data-led approach to managing pipelines and solving problems.
Excellent written communication, especially candidate outreach.
Why Legend?
Super smart colleagues to work alongside and learn from.
Engaging development opportunities at all levels.
Tailored flexibility for your work-life balance.
Annual discretionary bonus to reward your efforts.
Paid annual leave PLUS a well-deserved break to recharge your batteries during the festive season! Our offices are closed between Christmas and New Year's, allowing you to enjoy downtime without dipping into your annual allowance.
Exciting global Legend events, where we unite in person to ignite our shared passion and unveil the exciting strategies for the year ahead!
Legend is an Equal Opportunity Employer, but that’s just the start. We believe different perspectives help us grow and achieve more. That’s why we’re dedicated to hiring and developing the most talented and diverse team- which includes individuals with different backgrounds, abilities, identities and experiences. If you require any reasonable adjustments throughout your application process, please speak to your Talent Partner or contact the team ----- and we'll do all we can to support you.
