Creature Comforts is evolving fast. Behind every new clinic is a team that has to be found, engaged and hired well, and that's where you come in.
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to own recruitment end to end as we scale to 300+ employees within the next 18 months. You'll join a newly built in-house talent function backed by a modern ATS that takes care of the repetitive admin, scheduling, compliance tracking, offer generation, so your time goes where it counts: building relationships with candidates and sourcing the people who'll shape what Creature Comforts becomes next.
Candidate Requirements
- Experience in an in-house or agency recruitment role, managing the full hiring process end to end
- A track record of sourcing candidates directly, LinkedIn, and beyond job boards
- Strong written and verbal communication, with candidates and internal stakeholders alike
- The organisation to manage multiple live roles at once without losing quality or pace
- Comfort working within an ATS, with accurate data entry and pipeline management
- An understanding of right-to-work requirements and recruitment compliance basics
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.
It's a bonus, not a requirement, if you've also recruited clinical or regulated roles (veterinary, healthcare or allied health), used Teamtailor, Greenhouse or a similar modern ATS, explored AI tools in sourcing or screening. We'd rather hear from a great recruiter who's excited to learn than rule anyone out on a checklist.
Role Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end recruitment for clinical, operational and support roles, from brief to signed offer
- Write clear, engaging job adverts and role profiles for our careers site and other channels
- Coordinate shortlists, interview panels and feedback with hiring managers through our ATS-automated workflows
- Issue offers, manage pre-employment checks and hand over smoothly into onboarding
Sourcing and pipeline building
- Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn, direct outreach, talent pool development and specialist channels.
- Build pipelines for high-volume and business-critical roles, so we're not starting from zero every time a vacancy opens
- Represent Creature Comforts at career events, university open days and sector networking
