You’ll lead our in‑house recruitment team across multiple businesses, own delivery of key roles, and build the systems and capability to support our growth. You'll work with leaders who value recruitment and understand what it takes to hire A‑players. The quality of the hires you make will directly shape the future of the business.

The Role

Your mission is to lead an in‑house recruitment team that consistently delivers great hires. This is a player‑coach role – you’ll lead a small team, personally deliver key hires, and improve how we recruit as the business grows.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and coach the internal recruitment team (1‑2 direct reports).
• Personally manage recruitment for senior, complex, or business‑critical roles.
• Be accountable for successful hiring from role handover through to start date.
• Own recruitment systems and tools, including ATS performance and optimisation.
• Design, document, and continuously improve recruitment processes.
• Partner with hiring managers to lift interview quality, decision‑making, and hiring standards.
• Own recruitment outcomes working closely with leadership team and hiring managers.

Who You Are

You want to lead a small high‑performance internal recruitment team. You care about quality‑focused recruiting, where finding the right A‑player matters. You’re structured, direct, and commercially minded. You want to work in a company that values high‑quality recruitment (and appreciates the effort it requires).

Personality & Values

• Obsessed with hiring quality and setting a clear A‑player bar.
• Comfortable pushing back on hiring managers to protect standards.
• Highly accountable – you own hiring outcomes, not just process.
• Commercial and pragmatic, makes evidence‑based decisions on candidates.
• Direct, structured, and calm under pressure.
• Aligned with Beaver’s core values: straight talk, ownership, hunger, team first.

Profile 1 – Experienced Recruitment Lead

• Led a small internal recruitment team.
• Stayed hands‑on hiring key roles (not just managed a team).
• Built and improved recruitment processes and systems.
• Worked directly with senior leaders and hiring managers.

Profile 2 – Senior Recruiter

• Already runs senior roles end‑to‑end with minimal supervision.
• Wants to lead a small team without giving up hands‑on delivery.
• Is trusted by senior leaders and hiring managers.
• Wants opportunity to improve the recruiting process and systems.

What makes this role special

• Own recruitment end‑to‑end across multiple growing businesses.
• Personally run the senior, complex, and hard‑to‑fill hires where judgement matters most.
• Work with leaders who value recruitment and understand what it takes to hire A‑players.
• Make hiring decisions that shape culture, team, and the business’s future growth.
• Trusted to set the hiring bar and challenge leaders when standards slip.
• Build the systems, process, standards, and team that underpin the group’s growth.
