About GetMyCourse

GetMyCourse is a growing education and training business focused on helping people access practical skills, training, and career opportunities. We are looking for a **high-calibre Headhunter & HR Specialist** who can build our talent pipeline for niche commercial roles while also owning key people and employee-experience initiatives across the organisation.

This is a recruitment-first role, with approximately 70–80% focused on specialist hiring and 20–30% focused on HR, engagement, and employee support.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a proactive and commercially minded Headhunter & HR Specialist who is highly skilled at identifying, approaching, assessing, and securing high-performing sales talent.

The primary focus will be hiring A-players for niche sales and enterprise roles, particularly candidates who can operate in consultative, B2B, SaaS, enterprise, or high-value sales environments.

Beyond recruitment, you will act as the organisation's HR point person, supporting employee engagement, HR administration, HMO processing, onboarding, employee experience, and other people-related initiatives.

You will work closely with leadership and hiring managers to understand what a true "A-player" looks like and proactively build talent pipelines rather than relying solely on job advertisements.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own end-to-end recruitment for specialist, niche, and senior sales positions.
• Identify and attract A-player Sales Representatives, Account Executives, BDMs, Enterprise Sales professionals, and other commercial talent.
• Proactively source passive candidates through LinkedIn, talent databases, referrals, networking, Boolean search, headhunting, and other sourcing channels.
• Build and maintain talent pools for hard-to-fill and recurring sales positions.
• Develop targeted sourcing strategies for candidates with proven experience in:
• SaaS / Technology Sales
• High-ticket Sales
• Account Management
• Business Development
• Other niche commercial environments
• Conduct initial screening and competency-based interviews
• Assess candidates based on track record, revenue performance, sales capability, communication, cultural alignment, career stability, and potential.
• Validate sales achievements wherever possible through measurable evidence such as revenue generated, quotas achieved, conversion rates, deal sizes, client portfolios, or sales rankings.
• Present shortlisted candidates to hiring managers with clear recruitment recommendations.
• Manage candidate communication and experience throughout the recruitment process.
• Coordinate interviews, assessments, reference checks, offers, and onboarding handovers.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and recruitment activity in the ATS.
• Continuously improve sourcing strategies based on hiring outcomes and market feedback

2. Recruitment Strategy & Talent Intelligence

• Partner with leadership to understand current and future hiring requirements.
• Translate hiring-manager requirements into clear candidate profiles and sourcing strategies.
• Research talent markets and identify where high-performing candidates are currently working.
• Conduct competitor and talent-market mapping for difficult roles.
• Build a ready-to-hire pipeline instead of starting recruitment from zero whenever a vacancy opens.
• Provide feedback to leadership on salary expectations, candidate availability, market competitiveness, and recruitment challenges.
• Track recruitment metrics including:
• Time to shortlist
• Time to hire
• Interview-to-offer ratio
• Offer acceptance
• Quality of hire

3. HR & EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE — SECONDARY RESPONSIBILITY

Act as the organisation's primary HR support person for day-to-day employee experience and people-related administration.

Employee Engagement

• Plan and coordinate employee engagement activities.
• Organise team-building activities, celebrations, recognition initiatives, birthdays, work anniversaries, and other employee experience programs.
• Help maintain a positive, connected, and high-performance culture across remote teams.
• Gather employee feedback and identify opportunities to improve engagement.
• Support internal communications relating to people initiatives and employee activities.

Employee Support & HR Administration

• Serve as a first point of contact for general HR-related questions and employee concerns.
• Support employee onboarding and offboarding processes.
• Maintain employee HR records and documentation.
• Coordinate employment-related documents and HR communications.
• Assist managers with basic people-related processes and employee concerns.
• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism when handling employee information.

HMO Administration

• Coordinate HMO enrolment, updates, additions, deletions, and employee requests.
• Liaise with the HMO provider regarding employee concerns and documentation.
• Maintain accurate HMO records.
• Assist employees with basic HMO-related queries and processing requirements.

**Payroll, payroll calculations, salary processing, and finance-related payroll functions are NOT part of this role. These responsibilities are handled separately by the Payroll/Finance Specialist.**

4. HR OPERATIONS SUPPORT

• Maintain organised employee files and HR documentation
• Support HR reporting and people-related data tracking.
• Assist in developing and documenting HR processes and policies.
• Coordinate employee surveys, feedback collection, and engagement initiatives.
• Support performance-review and employee-development processes where required.
• Ensure HR activities are completed accurately, confidentially, and on time.
• Assist leadership with ad hoc HR and people projects.

• Experience with HMO/benefits administration.
• Experience supporting remote or distributed teams.

Recruitment Success

• Consistently produces qualified shortlists for niche sales roles.
• Improves time-to-shortlist and time-to-hire.
• Delivers candidates who meet both technical and cultural requirements.
