The Role
- This is not a traditional recruiting role focused solely on process management.
- The recruiter is expected to run a “flywheel”: source, screen, and close candidates, then rebuild the funnel for the next role.
- The role requires proactive sourcing, not just managing inbound applications.
- The recruiter must be able to sell the company, the role, and the growth trajectory to candidates, and negotiate offers assertively.
- Speed and adaptability are essential; calibration with hiring managers should happen in days, not weeks.
- The recruiter must be resourceful and able to figure out new tools, geographies, and role types independently.

What We Are Looking For
- Intense, driven, and operates with urgency, understanding the critical impact of each hire.
- Prior experience in in-house recruiting at a fast-moving startup, with a clear understanding of high standards.
- Strong outbound sourcing skills; inbound is a bonus, but outbound is the core responsibility.
- Proven ability to close candidates and negotiate offers confidently.
- Fast learner who can quickly adapt to new challenges and requirements.
- Self-sufficient and solution-oriented, with a default approach of figuring things out independently.

How We Work
- We prioritize making decisions quickly over waiting for perfect answers.
- Communication is transparent and public-first; private channels are discouraged.
- Team members are expected to bring solutions along with problems.
- Intensity and effort are maintained consistently, not just during high-pressure periods.
- Internal competition is encouraged; strong performers set new standards.
- This is a role for builders, not for those looking to coast.

Behaviors That Lead to Quick Removal
- Engaging in office politics, blame-shifting, or gossip.
- Taking direct feedback personally instead of constructively.
- Creating unnecessary overhead rather than streamlining processes.
- Failing to follow through promptly after committing to deadlines.

Location & Compensation
- London-based; on-site or hybrid work arrangements available.
- Compensation: £60,000 to £100,000 base salary, plus equity. The wide salary band reflects a commitment to paying top-of-market for exceptional, high-intensity in-house recruiters.
