Job description

At FundOnion, we’re reshaping the way businesses access funding. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to deploy cutting-edge technology that helps businesses secure finance faster, easier, and smarter than ever before. FundOnion isn’t just another finance brokerage. We’re a tech-first, mission-driven FinTech startup built to transform how funding works for businesses. Since our launch, we’ve already facilitated over £1B in funding requests through our state-of-the-art, award-winning platform, and we’re just getting started. Joining FundOnion means becoming part of a hungry, ambitious team that’s redefining the debt finance landscape in the UK. We’re here to make an impact, and we’re looking for talented, driven individuals who want to grow with us.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruitment for brokering and analyst roles, while also supporting business and corporate hiring as needed.
• Drive the end-to-end hiring process — from initial outreach and assessment through offer management and onboarding — ensuring an exceptional candidate experience.
• Develop and execute headhunting strategies to identify and engage the best candidates while working closely with leadership to align recruitment with long-term business goals.
• Independently develop and maintain candidate flow leveraging data to drive decision making and process improvement.
• Source candidates through a variety of search resources including social media, internal database, job boards, networking, and targeted search.
• Create compelling job descriptions that capture each role’s impact and inspire exceptional candidates to apply.
• Champion best-in-class hiring practices and contribute to continuous improvement in processes, tools, and candidate experience as we scale.

What you bring to the role

• 3+ years of recruiting experience with a strong focus on financial services and sales hiring. Agency or in-house experience both welcome; a mix of both is ideal.
• Proven success recruiting top sales and finance talent in fast-growth environments.
• A self-motivated, tenacious, and delivery-focused mindset — you operate with urgency, clarity, and accountability.
• Excellent organisational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• A people-centric, curious recruiter who thrives in high-energy startup settings and loves connecting exceptional talent with meaningful opportunities.

What we bring

• Rapid Growth – We’re one of the fastest-growing debt finance brokerages in the UK. Joining us early means having a front-row seat (and a key role) in our expansion journey.
• Collaborative Culture – We’re a tight-knit team of ambitious individuals who thrive in a high-energy environment. Your work will be noticed, valued, and rewarded.
• Career Acceleration – At a fast-scaling startup, your opportunities to grow are limitless. As one of our early team members, your impact will shape the company’s future—and your own.

This is a fully in-office position, allowing you to immerse yourself in our collaborative work culture. Occasional remote work may be considered in exceptional circumstances, subject to approval.
