The role
We’re building a world-class Talent team to help us scale while maintaining our high bar for talent and culture. As we grow, we’re looking for a hands-on, proactive talent partner to deliver fast-paced, high-quality recruitment across our non-technical teams — particularly Operations.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and is eager to take ownership of end-to-end hiring. You’ll lead on multiple roles simultaneously, drive structured hiring processes, and ensure an exceptional candidate experience throughout.
On a typical day you will be…
* Collaborating with teams to align on hiring priorities, ensuring you’re supporting business goals through talent acquisition, including on volume hiring projects that could include assessment days
* Managing end-to-end hiring for a variety of roles, guiding teams through every step from role intake to offer, driving both candidate and hiring manager experience
* Supporting the team with sourcing to attract top talent, build and manage pipelines
* Ensuring a great candidate experience by driving an inclusive, fair, and welcoming environment throughout the hiring process
* Championing diversity, equity, and inclusion at every hiring stage, promoting these values both internally and externally
* Contributing to continuous improvement of the hiring playbook by providing feedback, sharing insights, and suggesting new approaches
* Supporting employer brand efforts by representing the company positively to candidates and strengthening Seccl's presence as an employer of choice
This role isn’t for you if...
* You rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression
* You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
* You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen
* You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty
This role’s for you if...
* You have experience in leading fair and consistent end-to-end hiring for multiple roles at a time within a fast-growing in-house recruitment environment. Experience leading on volume hiring projects is desirable
* You’re quality driven and can demonstrate how you have kept the bar high in using various candidate evaluation techniques to ensure the best fit for each role, acting as the gatekeeper to hiring individuals that will add and contribute positively to the culture
* You’re well-skilled in using talent acquisition tools and tech - LinkedIn Recruiter experience is essential, Ashby is desirable
* You have exceptional interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust-based relationships at all levels of the business, not being afraid to give and receive constructive feedback
* You are comfortable with context-switching and able to manage competing (and changing) priorities effectively

Interview process
Interviewing is a two-way thing, and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you. Our interviews are conversational, so come with questions and be curious. In general, you can expect the interview process to look a bit like this:
* First stage – 30 mins initial interview with the hiring manager
* Second stage – one-hour technical interview or assessment, plus interview with a key stakeholder
* Final stage – 30 mins culture-based interview with the CPO
We’ll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out and you should expect to hear back from us within one to two weeks of applying.
Our aim is to build a diverse and inclusive company of awesome people, with unique skills, passions and experiences. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to age, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, or veteran, neurodiversity or disability status.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’d love to hear from you!
