Talent Partner

This is very much a start-up Talent role, as we look to transition from our Founder-led recruiting approach towards a more scalable and efficient way of building a world class team for the long term. You’ll be incredibly hands-on, owning talent sourcing, as well as the full recruitment life cycle. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers, providing expert advice and talent market insights as we scope our ideal candidate profiles and build out our future headcount plans. You’ll also be our go-to internal expert for candidate referrals, employer branding and the ongoing management (and iteration) of our talent technology stack. As a key part of this role, you will also collaborate closely with our leadership team on a range of creative projects relating to scaling and positively evolving our culture as we grow. 

• You’ve spent at least three years recruiting for high-growth (ideally early stage) businesses, with at least some of that time working as part of an in-house talent team.

• You have hired extensively for both technical and non-technical roles, ideally across a range of seniority levels. 

• You’re excited about the challenge of hiring non-standard and atypical roles - some of which will be “first of their kind” - and always approach your work with a deep sense of curiosity and a problem-solver’s mindset. 

• You understand how to build thorough, trusting and successful Hiring Manager partnerships (including with Senior Executives) - you have proven experience being part of role-scoping discussions and know how to effectively push back when necessary.

• You’re fluent in the modern recruiter’s toolkit, with deep proven experience with the ‘basics’ (LinkedIn Recruiter, creative cross-platform proactive sourcing, and ATS management) and ideally a forward-thinking approach on how to leverage cutting edge Talent Tech and sensibly applied AI to supercharge your day-to-day. 

• You’re comfortable with the basics of technical talent sourcing. You know your way around github and can work with technical hiring managers to spot key patterns and trends

• You’ve used (or are excited to use) organic techniques to source talent that isn’t looking… such as hackathons, meet-ups, community events and more.

• You don’t want to work in a silo! We see our first Talent Partner as a key cross-functional team member and a real champion of Heat Geek culture (internally as well as externally), so you’re someone who enjoys getting stuck into bigger picture projects relating to culture and employee engagement.
