Job description

An embedded talent consultancy on a mission to evolve how the world’s businesses recruit. We work with a portfolio of some of the most innovative organisations out there, from crypto change-makers, Google-backed unicorns, and some of the best and brightest in AI, Fintech and SaaS in the UK, Europe & the US.

We're a fast-growing, genre-busting business engaging in industry-leading work for exceptional clients. We're a fully remote, diverse, and distributed international team of talent enthusiasts with team members in the UK, Spain, and South Africa.

We're team players, not lone wolves. Because we’d be crazy not to make the most of the huge pool of talent around us. Plus it’s much more fun to work together. We use our EQ, as well as our IQ. People who ‘get’ people are so much better at their jobs, and nicer to be around. If this sounds like a team you’d like to be part of, please get in touch.

  • Be part of a dynamic consultancy solving hiring challenges for fast-growing clients in AI, Health-tech, SaaS, Fintech, and Crypto.

  • This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career—particularly recent graduates—who’s detail-oriented, curious, and keen to learn about modern hiring. No prior experience in recruitment is required, though it’s a bonus.

What You’ll Be Doing day-to-day:

  • Building and updating talent pools for priority roles
  • Cleaning and maintaining project folders in LinkedIn Recruiter
  • Tagging and organising candidate pipelines across tools
  • Helping recruiters prep projects and pipelines for outreach
  • Supporting research tasks like salary benchmarks, org charts, or TAM insights
  • Keeping recruitment data clean, accurate, and easy to work with

Requirements:

  • You might be a recent graduate or someone looking to break into the world of talent and recruitment
  • You’ve got great attention to detail and follow-through
  • You’re comfortable working independently and asking smart questions when you’re stuck
  • You’re tech-savvy and enjoy learning new tools
  • Nice to have:
  • Experience with tools like LinkedIn, Notion, Google Sheets, Slack
  • A background in research, admin, HR, or recruitment
  • Interest in startups, hiring, or talent intelligence

How we operate:

  • Fast-Paced: You’ll work across multiple roles with ambitious clients.
  • Working from home is not for everyone; give it some thought.
  • Regular Feedback: You’ll receive constructive, actionable feedback to help you grow and deliver results. This requires openness to continuous learning and iteration.

  • 25 days holiday + public holidays
  • Subsidised Wifi
  • Power bank provided
