People & Talent Partner

Permanent | £50,000-£55,000 per annum

We are delighted to be partnering with an ambitious and growing tech business to recruit a People & Talent Partner.

Following a period of significant positive change, the business has ambitious plans for further growth, creating an exciting opportunity for an experienced recruiter to join at an important stage in its development.

The role will have a strong focus on recruitment and talent acquisition, taking ownership of vacancies from initial brief through to offer and onboarding. However, it offers much more than a traditional recruitment position, with the opportunity to broaden your experience and become involved in wider People and HR activities.

Working closely with an experienced and supportive Director of People, you will play an important role in shaping how the business attracts, recruits and develops its people, while helping to deliver an excellent People service as the organisation continues to grow.

The position offers the flexibility of fully remote working, although you should be comfortable meeting team members when required and attending occasional team days. Being based in South Wales would be advantageous.

The Job

With plans to significantly increase the workforce in the short, medium and long term, there will be plenty to get involved in. You will take ownership of recruitment activity, build strong relationships with stakeholders and help develop a more structured approach to talent acquisition.

Alongside recruitment, you will have the opportunity to support a range of wider People activities, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who loves recruitment but is keen to develop their experience and progress into a broader HR role.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from vacancy briefing and attraction through to selection, offer and onboarding.

• Work closely with hiring managers to understand their requirements and agree effective recruitment strategies.

• Take a proactive approach to sourcing candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Workable and other relevant channels.

• Build and maintain talent pipelines for specialist and hard-to-fill positions.

• Deliver a positive candidate experience through clear and engaging communication.

• Support and advise managers throughout the recruitment and selection process.

• Monitor recruitment activity, using data and insight to identify opportunities for improvement.

• Help develop recruitment processes and reduce reliance on external agencies where appropriate.

• Support wider People activity, including probation processes, colleague lifecycle matters and people-related projects.

• Contribute to the ongoing development of the People function as the organisation continues to grow.

The Person Specification

The successful candidate will bring:

• Strong experience managing end-to-end recruitment.

• Experience of proactive candidate sourcing and building talent pipelines.

• The confidence to work closely with hiring managers and understand their recruitment needs.

• Commercial awareness and an understanding of how recruitment supports wider business objectives.

• The ability to work autonomously, take ownership and manage competing priorities.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• A flexible, pragmatic approach and the ability to adapt as the business grows.

Experience within an SME environment would be particularly valuable, as would exposure to specialist or hard-to-fill recruitment. Familiarity with Workable, LinkedIn Recruiter or BambooHR would also be beneficial.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who is commercially minded, curious about the wider business and interested in developing their career beyond a traditional recruitment role. You don’t need to be an established HR professional, but you should be keen to broaden your experience and contribute to the wider People agenda.

Salary & Benefits

• Salary: circa £50,000 – £55,000 depending on experience

• Bonus scheme of 5–10%, linked to business and individual objectives.

• Fully remote working, with occasional travel.

• 25 days annual leave, increasing with length of service.

• Holiday purchase scheme.

• 5% employer pension contribution (with a 3% employee contribution).

• Private Medical Insurance with BUPA.

• Health Cash Plan and Dental Cash Plan.

• Life Assurance.

• Access to YuLife.

• Car salary sacrifice scheme following probation.

• Individual annual learning and development budget.

The organisation offers a genuinely flexible and trusting working environment, with a mature approach to working arrangements and a focus on outcomes rather than presenteeism.
