[Employer hidden] is a specialist recruitment business focused on senior hires for early-stage tech startups and high-growth companies. We work across SaaS, FinTech, and Digital Health, supporting founders and leadership teams as they scale.
We’re hiring a junior recruiter who wants to learn the craft properly: how to run structured searches, speak to senior candidates, and deliver high-quality shortlists - without the “spray and pray” agency approach.
What you’ll do:
- Market mapping and talent research (finding the right target companies and profiles)
- Outreach and candidate engagement (LinkedIn, email, phone)
- Screening calls and structured note-taking
- Building shortlists and writing clear candidate summaries
- Interview scheduling and candidate management
- Keeping our CRM clean and up to date
- Learning how retained search projects run
What we’re looking for:
You don’t need recruitment experience. You do need:
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Confidence speaking to new people every day
- Strong work ethic
- Pace, organisation, and attention to detail
- A commercial mindset (you’re comfortable with targets and feedback)
- Curiosity about tech and how startups grow
- Reliability - if you say you’ll do something, it gets done
On offer:
- Hands-on training in search and headhunting (not just CV admin)
- Daily coaching and weekly structured training sessions
- A clear framework to follow: scorecards, outreach templates, and process
- Exposure to senior roles and founders from day one
- Modern tooling, including automation/AI where it genuinely helps
Compensation & working pattern:
- Base salary dependant on work experience
- Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earning potential as you ramp
- Hybrid working (mix of home + office)
- Flexible hours where it makes sense (outcomes matter)
- 20 days holiday (increasing with tenure) + birthday day off
- Team socials and a supportive environment (high standards, no politics)
Recruitment is a sales career. You’ll be building relationships, handling rejection, and learning fast. If you want a role where you can develop serious commercial skills and progress quickly, you’ll get that here.
How to apply:
Submit your CV and cover letter explaining why recruitment, and why startups, and what you’ve done that shows pace, resilience, and organisation.
