The posting
Axiom is supporting a large global technology company seeking an organised and confident Interview Specialist to support its UK employee relations investigations team.
This is a new role within the team, created to help End-to-End Investigators progress cases efficiently. You will schedule and conduct witness interviews only. You will not interview claimants or respondents.
The End-to-End Investigator will identify the witnesses to be interviewed and provide the interview script and questions. You will follow that structure, while using sound judgement to ask appropriate follow-up questions when a conversation develops or new information emerges. You’ll then finalise your notes and share them with the investigator managing the case.

- Follow the interview script and questions provided for each case.
- Probe appropriately when a witness raises relevant information that needs further clarification.
- Prepare and finalise clear, accurate interview notes.
- Share completed notes and relevant information with the End-to-End Investigator.
- Manage follow-ups and meeting arrangements, including rescheduling where needed.
- Adapt plans to changing circumstances, potentially within a two-week scheduling window.
- Communicate confidently and professionally with people at all levels, including senior managers.
- Handle sensitive information with care and maintain confidentiality.
Minimum qualifications
- Junior to mid-level experience in HR, employee relations, law or a related area.
- Strong organisation, follow-up and meeting-planning skills.
- Good judgement and common sense.
- The ability to follow a structured interview script while recognising when further probing is appropriate.
- Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders.
- Flexibility to rearrange and replan interviews when circumstances change.
- Comfort working with ambiguity and adapting to changing priorities.
