About us
Hello, we’re Reach. Every day, our trusted news, stories and content connect with millions of people where they live - whether that’s on their social feed or at their neighbourhood newsstand; through their local community or their take on the hot topic of the day.
We're home to more than 120 brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like MyLondon, BelfastLive, and the Manchester Evening News, and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.
It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us Britain and Ireland's largest commercial news publisher. We reach around 70% of the UK's online population, 10% of the US online population, and over 100 million social followers around the world, connecting with them on who they are, where they live and what they love.
Your story, with Reach
As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.
We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.
We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
About the Role:
If you love the thrill of finding brilliant storytellers across the UK and international markets and shaping diverse, high‑performing editorial teams, this is your stage.
As our Editorial Talent Sourcer, you’ll own a live caseload of around 20–25 vacancies at any one time across multiple locations, turning these around quickly in this fast‑paced environment, while championing data‑led, inclusive hiring. You’ll run end-to-end sourcing for roles across our editorial brands, crafting compelling, platform-ready ad copy.
You’ll be the trusted partner to our hiring managers and the first touchpoint for candidates, navigating time zones with ease and ensuring every interaction feels clear, human and memorable.
Reporting directly to the Editorial Talent Acquisition Lead within HR Shared Services, and partnering closely with the wider Talent Acquisition function, you’ll play a pivotal role in how we build the future of Reach’s journalism.
This is a performance-led role focused on filling editorial positions swiftly without compromising quality, elevating the candidate and hiring manager experience, and widening access to opportunity.
What you’ll need to succeed:
You’ll thrive here with proven experience in agency or in‑house sourcing, ideally within the editorial media landscape, and a strong record of delivering outstanding experiences for both candidates and hiring managers.
You’re influential and resilient, commercially sharp, proactive and organised, with a consultative approach. Passionate about DEI and data, a strong copywriter who adapts tone per platform, and someone who loves continuous improvement as much as making the right hire.
Above all, you’re a confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills who believes great hiring changes newsrooms for the better
