Based in either London or Malta, you will be working on hires globally, but mostly for our offices in Malta, Germany, and the USA.

While your primary focus will be on Operations, you will also have the opportunity to assist with recruiting for other areas of the business when required.

There will also be opportunities for you to get involved in projects as we develop the recruitment function within our growing and evolving business.

• Partnering with HR business partners, business leaders, and hiring managers to advise on the best hiring strategy;
• Maintaining an understanding of required candidate profiles to align sourcing, target promotion, and develop highly effective interview and selection methods;
• Advising stakeholders on talent market conditions, compensation benchmarking, and best practices for candidate selection;
• Writing and advertising job adverts that are specifically targeted;
• Performing initial candidate screening, including first-stage telephone/video call interviews, in line with the hiring manager’s brief;
• Guiding candidates through the recruitment process and acting as their point of contact throughout;
• Performing salary benchmarking exercises and leading offer negotiations;
• Contributing to initiatives that drive efficiency in our recruitment process;
• Collaborating on the development of Vista’s Employer Brand and messaging.

Required Skills, Qualifications, and Experience

• Experience recruiting technical or high-volume roles at all levels;
• Experienced recruiter with a background in aviation recruitment, either in-house or for a recruitment agency;
• Experience working with applicant tracking systems (we use iCIMS) and LinkedIn Recruiter;
• Experience recruiting internationally, ideally across Europe, particularly in Germany;
• Ability to communicate professionally and build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

Vista's fast-paced growth and its relationships with the best partner operators open the door to lifelong career opportunities across the group. Apply now to be part of a high-performing and global Talent Acquisition team.
