Talent Acquisition Specialist
London, UK (Liverpool Street, Hybrid)
About WYN
A fast-growing AI Native Services London startup, helping enterprises save an average of 30% on their software and AI spend. Founded in 2024 by former enterprise sales leaders Adrien Bourg and Sergei Tugarinov, we've scaled to a team of 24+ remaining bootstrapped, with $3B in software spend under management for customers. Our current growth is exceeding 500% Y/Y.
The Role
This is a genuinely rare opportunity: you'll be WYN's first-ever full-time internal Talent Acquisition hire. No inherited process, no legacy systems to untangle, just a blank page and the chance to build the TA function from the ground up.
As WYN scales, the people we hire are what will make or break our growth and you'll be right at the heart of that story. You'll own full-cycle recruitment across the business, from sourcing and outreach through to offer, and you'll partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to define what great looks like for every role. Everything from the tools you choose to the candidate experience you create will carry your fingerprints. If you've ever wanted to build something real and watch it become the engine behind a company's growth, this is it.
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.

Not a Fit If
- You want a purely administrative, transactional recruitment role
- You're not comfortable proactively sourcing and reaching out to passive candidates
- You'd rather have the safety net of a big, structured corporate than the pace and ownership of a fast-growing startup
- You're looking for a fully remote role
