We're looking for an experienced recruiter who enjoys building relationships, uncovering great talent and helping teams make confident hiring decisions.
You'll take ownership of recruitment across our UK studio, partnering closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Production, Art, Design, Creative and Operations to understand hiring needs, develop effective recruiting strategies and attract exceptional people.
Our hiring needs vary depending on the projects we're delivering and where the business is growing. At times you'll be managing permanent hiring alongside fast-moving freelance and project requirements; at others, you'll have more opportunity to focus on talent pipelines, market insight and initiatives that improve how we recruit.
You'll work with a high degree of autonomy and partner with our Talent Acquisition Director on wider hiring priorities and initiatives. Recruiting here isn't always straightforward: priorities can change, requirements aren't always fully defined, and you'll need to be comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking the right questions and using your judgement to keep things moving.
Throughout, you'll work closely with hiring managers as a trusted recruiting partner - providing perspective and insight, challenging assumptions when needed, and helping teams make great hiring decisions.
