The posting
Datashift is growing fast.
That’s why we’re looking for an experienced recruiter who does more than fill vacancies. We’re looking for someone who wants to actively help build our organization.
Someone who sees recruitment as a strategic growth driver. Someone who gets energy from finding, convincing and hiring exceptional talent. Someone who takes ownership, moves fast and delivers results.
Your Role
As a Senior Recruiter, you’ll have real ownership from day one.
You’ll join a team of five recruiters and work closely with the Head of Recruitment to help shape the next phase of Datashift’s growth.
You’ll be responsible for one or more business domains and work closely with directors, hiring managers and consultants to support the continued growth of their teams.
Recruitment remains at the core of your role: sourcing, interviewing, stakeholder management, candidate experience and successfully closing hires. But we expect more than that. You’ll help us make recruitment smarter, faster and more scalable. From AI and automation to employer branding, interview training and other initiatives that support our growth.
Over time, you can take ownership of strategic projects, new recruitment initiatives, new business domains and future growth opportunities across the wider Datashift organization.
