About MSP Education Group

MSP Education Group is building a new approach to education, combining high-performance academic support with versátil international Micro-schools designed around the individual student.

We have built our foundation in Madrid. Our ambition now goes considerably further.

As we grow our existing businesses and prepare for expansion into new markets, one of the capabilities that will determine how successfully we scale is our ability to identify, attract and secure great people before the business needs them.

That is where this role comes in.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Talent Acquisition professional to help us build the recruitment and workforce planning capability for the next stage of our growth.

Your mission is simple

Ensure we have the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both thinking and doing.

You will work closely with leadership to anticipate future staffing requirements, understand where capacity is genuinely needed and build recruitment pipelines accordingly.

But you will also remain directly involved in recruitment itself:

Sourcing. Approaching. Screening. Interviewing. Following up. Hiring.

We want someone who can build the system — while continuing to operate it.

What You Will Own

1. Proactive Recruitment

Our objective is to move from reactive recruitment to continuous talent acquisition. You will personally recruit across very different profiles, including:
- Teachers and academic professionals
- Sales and admissions teams
- Operations and administrative staff
- Interns and junior talent
- Specialist and management positions

You understand that finding a great teacher is different from finding a salesperson, an intern or an operations professional. You will identify and develop the right acquisition channels for each profile — from LinkedIn and job platforms to universities, professional communities, educational networks, referrals and direct sourcing.





We want to be speaking to great candidates before a vacancy becomes urgent.

2. Workforce Planning

Recruitment starts before the vacancy exists.

Working with department leaders, you will help anticipate:

- What talent will we need in 1, 3 or 6 months?
- Which roles are consistently difficult to fill?
- Where should we maintain permanent candidate pipelines?
- What seasonal requirements can already be predicted?
- Where could future growth create capacity constraints?

The objective is to make staffing increasingly predictable rather than reactive. 3. Understand the Problem Before Recruiting

Not every capacity problem requires another employee.

A department may feel understaffed because it genuinely needs additional people.

But the underlying issue could also be scheduling, workload distribution, inefficient processes or poor utilisation of existing capacity.

You will work with managers to understand the real problem before automatically increasing headcount.

If recruitment is the answer, you move quickly and execute.

If it isn't, you help identify what is actually creating the bottleneck.

4. Build Talent Pipelines That Last

We don't want recruitment to restart from zero every time somebody leaves or the business grows.

You will build and maintain active talent pools for critical positions, develop relationships with relevant talent communities and continuously improve our sourcing channels.

Over time, your work should create a recruitment engine capable of supporting not only our current operations, but our future growth into new locations and markets.

Who We Are Looking For

We care less about your previous job title and more about what you have actually done.

You may currently be a:

- Senior Recruiter
- Talent Acquisition Specialist
- Talent Acquisition Partner




- Recruitment Lead
- Recruitment Consultant
- Workforce Planning Specialist

Agency recruitment experience can be particularly valuable if you have personally managed high recruitment volumes and developed strong sourcing instincts. Whatever your background, you should be comfortable personally:
- Finding and approaching candidates
- Sourcing passive talent
- Screening and interviewing
- Managing multiple recruitment processes simultaneously
- Following up consistently
- Building candidate pipelines
- Testing new recruitment channels
- Working directly with hiring managers
- Using recruitment data to improve decisions

We particularly value candidates who can demonstrate substantial personal ownership of recruitment and sourcing, rather than experience that has been primarily advisory. Experience in education is beneficial, but not essential.

What Success Looks Like

Success isn't simply hiring more people.

It means building an organisation that becomes increasingly difficult to catch unprepared.

We will look at outcomes such as:

- Fewer emergency vacancies
- Faster time-to-hire
- Strong candidate pipelines for critical positions
- Better workforce forecasting
- More effective sourcing channels
- Better visibility of future staffing needs
- More informed decisions about when additional headcount is genuinely required

Why Join Us? You won't be inheriting a finished recruitment machine.

You will help build it.

You will have direct exposure to leadership, visibility across different areas of the business and the opportunity to shape how talent acquisition works as the organisation grows.

And as MSP Education Group expands, the challenge evolves with it: new teams, new locations, new markets and entirely new talent pools.

For someone who enjoys recruitment, problem-solving and building something rather than simply maintaining it, this is an opportunity to have a very visible impact on the next stage of a growing education group.

If you are someone who likes to anticipate the problem, find the people and make things happen, we'd like to hear from you.
