Job description

Own our technical hiring, and be the HR partner the business relies on

You love finding great technical people, and you know HR well enough to look after them once they join. You want a role where you own hiring across countries, partner directly with leaders, and are trusted to run HR when our Head of People is away. This is that role!

About IntelliSense.io

IntelliSense.io builds the decision intelligence platform that Tier 1 and Tier 2 mining and mineral processing leaders use to optimise their operations. Our platform, brains.app, combines scientific AI, geometallurgical models and autonomous agents to turn operational data into better decisions on site.

The role and why it matters

We are growing our product, data science and engineering teams across the UK, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Latin America. As our HR Business Partner, you will lead day-to-day talent acquisition for these roles and share the People function with our Head People Partner.

What You'll Do

• Run full-cycle recruitment for technical roles (software, data science, AI, QA and technical delivery) in the UK and internationally, from intake to offer.
• Find and engage candidates directly through LinkedIn, Boolean searches, referrals and communities, and manage agencies when we use them.
• Partner with hiring managers on role profiles, scorecards and structured interviews, and coach them to interview well.
• Be the first point of contact for employee questions and manage lifecycle moments: onboarding, offboarding, contract changes and performance reviews.
• Help keep us compliant across the countries we operate in, working with our local payroll and HR providers
• Cover the People function when the Head People Partner is away: employee relations matters, contract changes and payroll queries with our local providers, and decisions within agreed limits.

What you'll bring

• Experience running full-cycle recruitment yourself for technical roles, such as software, data or engineering.
• Hands-on direct sourcing: Boolean or LinkedIn Recruiter searches and approaching people who haven't applied.
• Generalist HR experience you can stand behind on your own, including employee relations cases under UK employment law.
• Experience hiring or supporting people in more than one country or time zone.
• Confident using recruitment and HR systems.
• Experience coaching managers through hiring and people decisions.
• Pragmatic, proactive and discreet, and happy in a small team where you build as you go.

Nice to have

• CIPD Level 5 or 7, or equivalent experience.
• Experience in deep-tech, industrial, engineering or mining businesses.
• Hiring in Australia, the Middle East or Latin America.
• Employer branding and LinkedIn content.

Don't tick every box? If you have hired great technical people and enjoy the wider HR role, we would still like to hear from you.

What We Offer

• Unlimited holidays: we trust you to manage your time and energy.
• True flexibility: work in the way that brings out your best results.
• Performance bonuses: real rewards for results that move the company.
• A diverse team across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Chile, Saudi Arabia, Australia and beyond.

Location
