Referment is working with a growing, VC-backed engineering and technology company to hire a part-time HR Generalist to take ownership of its day-to-day people function.
This is a standalone position covering both HR generalist responsibilities and recruitment, with the opportunity to help build the people processes and foundations required as the company grows.
You'll work closely with senior leadership and hiring managers across the business, with external HR and employment law support available when required.
The role would suit someone who has progressed beyond a purely administrative HR position and is ready for greater ownership across recruitment, employee relations and people operations.
The Role
You'll Be Responsible For
- Owning recruitment processes from initial brief through to offer.
- Working with hiring managers to define requirements and create job descriptions.
- Directly sourcing candidates through LinkedIn and other relevant channels. Building candidate pipelines for technical and non-technical positions.
- Screening candidates and supporting structured interview processes.
- Managing candidate communication and experience throughout the hiring process.
- Tracking recruitment activity and reporting on progress.
- Managing external recruitment partners where specialist support is required.

You'll ideally have:
- Around 3 to 5 years' HR generalist experience.

You'll ideally be CIPD Level 5 qualified, although we'd also consider someone Level 3 qualified with strong generalist experience who is working towards further qualification.
Experience within a startup, scale-up, engineering, energy, manufacturing or technology company would be particularly useful.
Exposure to international employees or cross-border HR would also be beneficial but isn't essential.
This could suit an HR Generalist, People Advisor, HR Advisor, People & Culture Advisor or HR Manager looking for a broad standalone role with significant ownership.
