Founding Talent Partner, Healthtech-1

• We think of talent as having 3 streams: Public magnetism. Great candidate experience. Great hiring manager
• The ideal person is able to balance the art and the science of talent acquisition
• The art = great communication and emotional intelligence to create a fantastic candidate experience
• At times you need to inspect, and other times persuade
• The science = the operational efficiency of running a smooth talent process
• That includes planning, keeping on top of all communications, coordinating between candidates and hiring managers and staying on track with the longer term hiring plan
• You're an operator who can run multiple roles concurrently without anything slipping through the cracks
• Both agency and startup experience - 3+ years of working in a fast-paced recruitment agency environment and made the leap into an in-house or startup environment
• Know the full life cycle - from attraction, assessment, offer to onboarding
• A brilliant communicator and storyteller - your outreach gets replies. Candidates leave conversations more excited. You understand that every touchpoint is potentially a magic moment
• Operationally excellent - you can run 6+ roles at once without things slipping. You track the funnel, know your numbers, and know which parts of the system to fix
• Aim for best - when you consider candidate and hiring manager experience, you consider what excellent looks like and drive change towards that
• Hired both tech and non-tech roles - you’ll be doing both here, so existing experience helps you hit the ground running
• Care deeply for the mission - you’ll be the front face and first impression of our company. So, your passion can only transmit if you personally deeply care about opening up access to the NHS
• 👌 Nice to have
