  • Plan company events/retreats like Guru Gathering (annual company retreat)
  • Facilitate feedback cycles (e.g. surveys, 1:1s)
  • Organise seasonal and milestone celebrations (e.g. Christmas gifts, anniversaries)
• Performance & Development
  • Support performance review processes
  • Track development goals and learning initiatives
  • Recommend training or coaching resources
• Policies & Compliance
  • Maintain employee handbook and HR policies
  • Ensure compliance with employment laws - liaising with external professionals when required
  • Manage visa or right-to-work documentation
• HR Admin & Systems
  • Own the HRIS (HiBob)
  • Manage time off, sick leave, and benefits
  • Handle contracts, changes in terms, references, etc
• Payroll & Benefits
  • Liaise with finance/payroll providers
  • Administer employee benefits and budgets (training/conference/coworking budgets etc.)

• A track record of success as a recruiter
• Experienced in recruitment technologies, utilising top attraction channels, job boards, and social networking to build candidate talent pools
