Talent Acquisition Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years shaping recruitment through practical, people-focused processes. At [Previous Company], we moved from ad hoc hiring to a structured approach that covered workforce planning, candidate experience, and decision-making. In that period, we tracked a 20% reduction in time-to-fill for the roles most critical to product delivery, while maintaining quality and cultural fit. I’m interested in applying this kind of steady, data-informed approach at [Company Name]. My background covers end-to-end TA, team leadership, and employer brand development. I’m comfortable balancing hands-on sourcing with coaching a small team, and I’m equally at home reviewing data, tweaking pipelines, and presenting options to leadership. I’ve led multiple recruitment campaigns, built strong partnerships with hiring managers, and worked closely with marketing to polish our employer value proposition for both campus and experienced hires. One example you might find relevant is when we faced a spike in demand for software engineers. We implemented a priority lane for critical roles, standardised interview kits, and introduced a candidate status tracker for managers. Significantly improved candidate experience metrics, and we reduced drop-offs by aligning speed with quality. It wasn’t flashy, but it mattered for visibility and trust across the business. I’m keen to discuss how my approach could fit at [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can share more concrete examples from my work across recruitment strategy, team development, and employer branding. Kind regards, [Your Name]
