• Comfortable recruiting across a range of roles and adapting your approach accordingly
• Tech-savvy and confident using ATS, HR systems and project management tools like Notion
• Skilled at assessing candidates not just for skills, but for potential, values alignment, and growth mindset
• Organised, proactive and hands-on - you spot opportunities to improve how we work and take the initiative to make things better
• Flexible and creative - able to shift your approach as hiring needs evolve, and think differently about how to attract and engage talent
• A clear communicator who brings calmness, structure, and empathy to interactions with candidates and internal teams
• Passionate about delivering an outstanding candidate experience and supporting a strong, scalable people function
• Can comfortably give and receive feedback to support continuous improvement both internally with the team and externally with candidates
