Internal Talent Acquisition

You'll own recruitment at a pivotal moment—building a team from ~20 to 40 people over the next three years, which means designing how your company hires and scales sustainably. This is hands-on work: you'll write job specs, run interviews, negotiate offers, and feed back to stakeholders. A good week looks like crafting a spec for an engineering role, screening five candidates over the phone, interviewing two at depth, and closing a verbal offer. You'll have autonomy over recruitment strategy and real influence over who joins.

✨ About the role

We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing AI-focused business that needs to double headcount thoughtfully by the end of 2027. You'll manage the full hiring lifecycle—from initial strategy and job design through to negotiation and offer delivery. This is a permanent role, remote, reporting to leadership.

🎯 What you'll do

• Develop and own a recruitment strategy that scales hiring from current size to 40 headcount by 2027
• Create clear, compelling job specifications that attract the right candidates
• Conduct telephone screening interviews and first-round interviews with candidates
• Assess fit, capability and cultural alignment, then deliver structured feedback to hiring managers and stakeholders
• Lead salary negotiations with candidates and agree offer terms
• Deliver job offers and manage the final handoff to onboarding

🧠 What you'll bring

• At least 2 years of hands-on recruitment or talent acquisition experience
• Strong interview conducting skills—you can probe for evidence, listen well, and make sound hiring judgments
• Experience negotiating salary and employment terms with candidates
• Ability to write clear, specific job descriptions that reflect real requirements
• Strategic mindset: you can map hiring needs against business growth and adjust approach
• Comfort working independently and managing stakeholder expectations

🌟 Why you'll like it here

You're not filling vacancies—you're building something. Your hiring decisions directly shape team culture and capability over the next three years. You'll work with leaders who care about getting recruitment right, and you'll have the autonomy to experiment with sourcing, interview approach, and employer brand. The role is demanding but finite in scope: you own recruitment; you don't wear five other hats.
