Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Candidate Profile
You will bring more than 10 years of HR leadership experience within a professional services, consulting, or other people-intensive environment. You will have a proven track record of leading HR functions in high-growth, scale-up, or entrepreneurial businesses, with experience building effective people strategies, improving HR processes, implementing systems, and developing operating models that support business growth.
You will have broad experience across all areas of people operations across multiple countries, including managing international payroll and Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements, alongside strong knowledge of UK employment law and compliance requirements.
A key requirement is the ability to lead, develop, and inspire HR teams while operating effectively in a fast-paced environment where priorities and business needs can change quickly. The successful candidate will be commercially minded, adaptable, and comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders to support organisational growth.
