Job description

What is Flagstone?

Flagstone is many things. An online savings platform, reinventing how individuals, businesses, and charities manage, protect, and grow their cash. A diverse group of people, bound by a collaborative spirit, and shared purpose. And lastly, a thriving, profitable business – where smart people do their best work.

Each definition shares a common thread: our unique culture. It’s our pride and joy. And our competitive advantage.

A feel for our culture:

To revolutionise the savings market, we need to be at our best. But high performance takes more than talent – it takes a culture of kindness, respect, and growth.

That’s why we’re building a diverse, inclusive community, where your voice is heard and valued. Where, with close support and room to develop, you can surpass even your own expectations. And be rewarded for it.

We may not change the world, but we can change the world of financial technology. And all it takes is a winning mix of drive, talent, and empathy. Our culture celebrates all three.

But enough about us. Let’s talk about you.

What you’ll do:

Reporting to our Talent Director, you will be responsible for managing headcount plans, defining the best methodologies for hiring as well as developing and steering our TA team to ensure the success of the team and our scaling business.

• Overseeing the full-cycle recruitment process, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for candidates from sourcing to onboarding.

• Developing & analysing our recruitment metrics, and using your knowledge, market insights, numbers and analysis to continually refine & improve the talent acquisition process across the whole organisation.
• Tracking and reporting on key metrics such as time-to-fill, quality of hire, diversity metrics, and candidate and manager satisfaction.
• Leading and inspiring the Talent Acquisition team, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement by setting clear goals and giving regular feedback.
• Enhancing and promoting Flagstone’s employer brand through strategic initiatives and campaigns, developing compelling content to attract top talent and showcase our unique culture.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in talent acquisition with a track record of successfully leading and developing high-performing teams, along with in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the recruitment process.
• A blend of strategic and forward-thinking approach, with an ability to focus relentlessly on priorities, and deliver extraordinary and sustainable results.
• Strong leadership skills and a passion for developing a high-performing team of TA Partners, inspiring them to achieve our hiring goals.
• Proven experience in running recruitment marketing campaigns and building and growing employer brands.
• Exceptional networking skills to build relationships with candidates, industry professionals, and external partners.
• Ability to analyse recruitment metrics and data to inform decision-making and improve hiring strategies, with the ability to influence using data as a lever.
• Commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in recruitment and creating an inclusive work environment.
• Experience working with changing priorities and ambiguity delivering through others towards a common agenda.
• Being courageous, creative and focused, and have the flexibility to adapt to changing recruitment needs and market conditions.
