Elevation HR are recruiting for a HR and Talent Acquisition Recruiter

Elevation HR are recruiting for a HR and Talent Acquisition Recruiter to join an exciting hospitality business on a full-time, permanent basis in the West Yorkshire / Wakefield area.

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business at the start of its UK journey, supporting the launch and growth of an established international brand. Initially, you’ll be heavily focused on recruitment and onboarding, helping build the team from the ground up, before developing into a broader HR role as the business grows. Reporting directly into the HR Director, you’ll have plenty of visibility, responsibility and scope to make your mark.

As a HR and Talent Acquisition Recruiter you will be responsible for:

  • Taking ownership of the end-to-end recruitment process, from advertising vacancies and sourcing candidates through to screening, shortlisting and interviewing
  • Managing high-volume recruitment campaigns, ensuring the business attracts the right people at pace
  • Coordinate and deliver assessment centres, helping to identify the best talent for the growing business
  • Manage the onboarding process for new starters, including offer letters, contracts, pre-employment checks and inductions
  • Help build and establish the employer brand, ensuring the business becomes an attractive place to work as it launches into the UK market
  • Work closely with the HR Director and wider leadership team, supporting the development of the people function from the ground up
  • As the business grows, take on increasing responsibility across wider HR, giving you the opportunity to develop into a genuinely generalist HR position

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
