🌍 Feel good about sustainability - we're a climate-positive company!
- A senior recruiter with deep expertise across the full lifecycle, and the outside-in view: what the market's doing, what great TA teams do, and what it means for us.
- Someone who holds themselves to a high standard - e.g. measuring their results against quality of hire rather than hires made.
- Someone whose judgement colleagues calibrate against, trusted with delivering the most senior and confidential searches without a steer.
- An AI-native mindset: you treat AI as leverage and are keen to learn from our team, and share what’s been working for you.
- The credibility and communication skills to challenge a department head on a bad hiring decision, deliver hard market news to leadership, and come out with the relationship stronger.
- Someone who makes the team better on purpose, not by accident: you share what you know and help develop the people around you.
- If you want to move into people management now. This is a senior IC role. You'll coach, share knowledge, and set standards, but you won't have direct reports on day one, and you'll still be carrying reqs yourself. If a management title is what you're chasing now or in the imminent future, this isn’t the job for you.
- If you're a brilliant solo recruiter but you don't have a history of lifting up the people around you. This role will impact how our entire TA function operates, and evidence of knowledge sharing from prior roles will be assessed during the interview process.
- If AI feels like a threat rather than a tool. We love Claude Cowork, and have both built and used multiple other tools to improve and speed up our ways of working. We have a company-wide expectation that AI is utilised, so it will be a large part of this role.
- If you tend to report the problems you’re facing in searches. We need someone who spots the funnel stage quietly losing good candidates, or the hiring plan the market won't support, and fixes it before anyone flags it. At IC L5, we don’t expect your manager to be the one flagging problems or coming up with solutions for you.
- If you like to just crack on with recruitment. Connect with us and join the Talent MCR meetup - we’d love to connect - but this role will be expected to do more than just deliver.
Working Conditions
£60,000 - £70,000, depending on experience. However, sometimes the perfect person is far more or less experienced than we anticipated. In these situations, planned ranges go out the window. If you think that might be the case, please apply and just let us know.
We care deeply about helping the tech industry become a more inclusive and diverse place, and we work hard to lead by example. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a complementary team of employees and building an inclusive environment for all. Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK and be able to perform the work specified.
Application Information
As a fast-moving and rapidly evolving tech company, we embrace the advantages of AI and encourage its use throughout our application process. However, our goal is to get to know and hire the authentic you - your skills, experience, and values. We don’t want to hire an AI-generated version of you. We consider AI to be a valuable tool, not something that should overshadow you as an individual.
