Fractional Head of Talent
General & Technology Recruitment, Little Emperors
Little Emperors is a private luxury travel club built on technology, human expertise and global partnerships. As the business grows, we are looking for a fractional Head of Talent to lead recruitment across the business. Technology recruitment, covering engineering, product and data, is the largest and most complex part of the remit, alongside general hiring across commercial, operational and support roles. Whatever the role, we want the same proactive pipeline building and commercial rigour behind every hire.
The Role
This is a fractional, self-directed role for an experienced recruiter with real depth in technology hiring, who can hit the ground running. We are not able to offer extensive onboarding or close day-to-day management, so it suits someone who already knows how to build a hiring function and needs the space, not the structure, to do it well. You will own the full recruitment cycle across the business, with technology roles as the primary focus, from briefing hiring managers through to sourcing, negotiating and closing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end recruitment across the business, with technology roles across engineering, product and data as the primary focus
- Own general recruitment for commercial, operational and support roles alongside the technology pipeline
- Build a proactive pipeline through direct outreach, headhunting and networking, not just job boards
- Partner with senior leadership and hiring managers to define roles and hiring priorities across every part of the business
- Manage the candidate journey and negotiate offers to close strong hires
- Build the processes, tools and employer brand that support hiring at pace
