About the role

Talent Scouts find the people behind our searches. You'll source, approach and engage candidates for technology and deep-tech roles, and keep good people moving through the process — the candidate side of the placements the team makes. It's a role where you learn the market quickly, with coaching from across the team.

What you'll do

Source candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, CV databases, job boards, referrals and our communities.
Approach and hold first conversations with candidates, many of whom aren't actively looking.
Screen candidates against the brief and share strong people with the team as soon as you find them.
Keep candidates informed and well looked after through the process.
Keep candidate records accurate in our CRM.

What good looks like

A steady flow of relevant, interested candidates for live searches.
Candidates who feel well treated, whether or not they're placed.
Growing confidence and independence as you learn the market.

What you'll bring

Curiosity about people and technology, and the persistence to keep going on a hard search.
Clear, friendly communication, on the phone and in writing.
Organisation and attention to detail.

Useful, not essential

Any experience of sourcing, recruitment, sales or other people-facing work.
Interest in technology or deep-tech.

Where it leads

The natural next step is Senior Talent Scout, and from there the wider recruitment path described on our careers page.

Benefits

Holiday: 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to 29 days in your fourth year and 30 in your fifth. The office closes between Christmas and New Year, and that time comes from annual leave.
Private medical: Bupa private medical cover for you, with the option to add family members. Dental and optical are available as an optional upgrade.
Life assurance: Life assurance (death-in-service) cover.
Pension: A workplace pension through standard auto-enrolment.
Travel and parking: Free parking at the Eynsham office, mileage paid for business travel, and travel to events paid.
Kit: A laptop is supplied.
Communities and events: You can attend any Humand community or event, and you'll meet the founders, engineers and hiring leaders who come to them.
Time together: Company socials, a Christmas party, ad-hoc team lunches, and team days, workshops and training days.

How we hire

A first call. Around 30 minutes on the phone with the hiring manager or Joe Edney.
Face-to-face interview. A conversation in person, including a small task or presentation so you can show how you think.
Meet the team. Time with a good part of the team, so you know who you'd be working with.
A final conversation. A follow-up with Joe Edney to answer your remaining questions and talk about next steps.

We can move quickly, but we'd rather give everyone who applies a fair look than hire the first person through the door.
