SIE is a dynamic technology company, delivering cutting edge hardware and network services to more than 100 million people and an entertainment leader, home to some of the most beloved and recognizable intellectual properties (IP) in the world. Our role at SIE is to create and nurture the experiences under the PlayStation brand, a name synonymous with entertainment excellence and creativity. Location: London / Hybrid (2-3 days per week in office, Soho) Duration: 6 months initially Day Rate: £400-£500 per day (Inside IR35) Engagement Method: Umbrella/PAYE Position Overview Role Overview Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company behind PlayStation, is looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team. This is a broad, high impact recruiting role supporting hiring across both Corporate functions and Technology and Engineering. One day you could be partnering with leaders on a specialist corporate search, the next you could be building a talent strategy for a complex engineering team. At SIE, Talent Acquisition is about much more than managing requisitions. Our recruiters are trusted partners to the business. We help leaders understand the talent market, challenge assumptions, shape hiring strategies and make great decisions. We bring external insight into the organisation and create an experience that reflects PlayStation at every stage of the hiring process. You will own your searches from the first conversation with a hiring manager through to offer and close, while building relationships and talent pipelines that extend well beyond today's vacancies. What you'll be doing Partner with hiring managers and senior leaders across Corporate, Technology and Engineering to understand their teams, priorities and future talent needs. Own full cycle recruitment across a varied portfolio of roles, from initial intake and market mapping through sourcing, assessment, offer and close. Build hiring strategies rather than relying on applications alone, identifying where the right talent sits and how we should engage them. Proactively identify and engage passive talent, building relationships with people who may become future PlayStation employees. Act as a talent adviser to hiring teams, bringing market intelligence, candidate insight and external perspective into hiring decisions. Challenge hiring assumptions when the market tells us something different, helping teams balance ambition, availability, skills and speed. Recruit across a broad range of disciplines and seniority levels, adapting your approach to different talent markets. Create diverse, high quality talent pipelines through direct sourcing, referrals, networking and other relevant channels. Run thoughtful candidate conversations that explore capability, motivation, career goals and alignment with the opportunity. Partner closely with HR, Compensation, Finance and other teams to navigate the full hiring process. Guide hiring managers through effective, consistent and inclusive interview and selection processes. Manage offers and negotiations, balancing candidate expectations, internal frameworks and business requirements. Use recruiting data and market insight to understand performance, identify challenges and improve hiring outcomes. Keep candidates informed and engaged throughout the process, including when the answer is no. Contribute to the wider Talent Acquisition team, sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and helping us continuously improve how we hire. What being a TA Partner means at SIE We are looking for someone who wants to understand the business behind the requisition. You will build credibility with your stakeholders by knowing their organisation, understanding the talent they need and having a point of view on how to find it. You will be comfortable asking questions such as: Do we need this exact profile? Where does this talent exist? What is the market telling us? Is our interview process helping us identify the right person? What will make someone choose PlayStation? You will also recognise that every candidate interaction matters. For many people, a recruiter is their first meaningful interaction with SIE. We want that experience to be informed, human and representative of who we are, whether someone ultimately joins us or not. What we're looking for Significant experience owning full cycle recruitment, ideally within a global technology, entertainment, gaming or similarly complex organisation. Experience recruiting across Technology or Engineering, combined with the ability and interest to recruit across broader Corporate functions. A strong track record of partnering with hiring managers and senior stakeholders rather than operating purely as a recruitment delivery resource. Confidence sourcing and engaging passive candidates in competitive talent markets. Experience managing multiple searches and stakeholder relationships at the same time while maintaining quality and attention to detail. Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills. Sound judgement and the confidence to constructively challenge stakeholders when needed. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience using applicant tracking systems and recruiting technology. Experience with Greenhouse is useful but not essential. A data informed approach to recruiting, with an understanding of metrics such as pipeline health, conversion, time to hire and source effectiveness. A collaborative mindset. We operate as one Talent Acquisition team and expect people to share information, support each other and contribute beyond their own requisitions. What will help you stand out Experience recruiting across both Corporate and technical disciplines. Experience hiring software engineering or other specialist technology talent. Experience working within gaming, entertainment, consumer technology or another globally recognised, multi matrix brand. Strong talent mapping and direct sourcing capability. Experience advising senior leaders on complex or difficult to fill searches. An interest in games, entertainment and the technology behind the PlayStation experience.

Our role at SIE is to create and nurture the experiences under the PlayStation brand, a name synonymous with entertainment excellence and creativity. Location: London / Hybrid (2-3 days per week in office, Soho) Duration: 6 months initially Day Rate: £400-£500 per day (Inside IR35) Engagement Method: Umbrella/PAYE Position Overview Role Overview Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company behind PlayStation, is looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team. This is a broad, high impact recruiting role supporting hiring across both Corporate functions and Technology and Engineering. One day you could be partnering with leaders on a specialist corporate search, the next you could be building a talent strategy for a complex engineering team. At SIE, Talent Acquisition is about much more than managing requisitions. Our recruiters are trusted partners to the business. We help leaders understand the talent market, challenge assumptions, shape hiring strategies and make great decisions. We bring external insight into the organisation and create an experience that reflects PlayStation at every stage of the hiring process. You will own your searches from the first conversation with a hiring manager through to offer and close, while building relationships and talent pipelines that extend well beyond today's vacancies. What you'll be doing Partner with hiring managers and senior leaders across Corporate, Technology and Engineering to understand their teams, priorities and future talent needs. Own full cycle recruitment across a varied portfolio of roles, from initial intake and market mapping through sourcing, assessment, offer and close. Build hiring strategies rather than relying on applications alone, identifying where the right talent sits and how we should engage them. Proactively identify and engage passive talent, building relationships with people who may become future PlayStation employees. Act as a talent adviser to hiring teams, bringing market intelligence, candidate insight and external perspective into hiring decisions. Challenge hiring assumptions when the market tells us something different, helping teams balance ambition, availability, skills and speed. Recruit across a broad range of disciplines and seniority levels, adapting your approach to different talent markets. Create diverse, high quality talent pipelines through direct sourcing, referrals, networking and other relevant channels. Run thoughtful candidate conversations that explore capability, motivation, career goals and alignment with the opportunity. Partner closely with HR, Compensation, Finance and other teams to navigate the full hiring process. Guide hiring managers through effective, consistent and inclusive interview and selection processes. Manage offers and negotiations, balancing candidate expectations, internal frameworks and business requirements. Use recruiting data and market insight to understand performance, identify challenges and improve hiring outcomes. Keep candidates informed and engaged throughout the process, including when the answer is no. Contribute to the wider Talent Acquisition team, sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and helping us continuously improve how we hire. What being a TA Partner means at SIE We are looking for someone who wants to understand the business behind the requisition. You will build credibility with your stakeholders by knowing their organisation, understanding the talent they need and having a point of view on how to find it. You will be comfortable asking questions such as: Do we need this exact profile? Where does this talent exist? What is the market telling us? Is our interview process helping us identify the right person? What will make someone choose PlayStation? You will also recognise that every candidate interaction matters. For many people, a recruiter is their first meaningful interaction with SIE. We want that experience to be informed, human and representative of who we are, whether someone ultimately joins us or not. What we're looking for Significant experience owning full cycle recruitment, ideally within a global technology, entertainment, gaming or similarly complex organisation. Experience recruiting across Technology or Engineering, combined with the ability and interest to recruit across broader Corporate functions. A strong track record of partnering with hiring managers and senior stakeholders rather than operating purely as a recruitment delivery resource. Confidence sourcing and engaging passive candidates in competitive talent markets. Experience managing multiple searches and stakeholder relationships at the same time while maintaining quality and attention to detail. Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills. Sound judgement and the confidence to constructively challenge stakeholders when needed. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience using applicant tracking systems and recruiting technology. Experience with Greenhouse is useful but not essential. A data informed approach to recruiting, with an understanding of metrics such as pipeline health, conversion, time to hire and source effectiveness. A collaborative mindset. We operate as one Talent Acquisition team and expect people to share information, support each other and contribute beyond their own requisitions. What will help you stand out Experience recruiting across both Corporate and technical disciplines. Experience hiring software engineering or other specialist technology talent. Experience working within gaming, entertainment, consumer technology or another globally recognised, multi matrix brand. Strong talent mapping and direct sourcing capability. Experience advising senior leaders on complex or difficult to fill searches. An interest in games, entertainment and the technology behind the PlayStation experience. Please note, Sony Interactive Entertainment conducts background checks at the offer stage for all new employees (which may include criminal background checks for some roles) and will need to process personal information to support these checks.
