Talent Partner

Overview

Beyonk is a company providing ticketing and marketing software solutions alongside marketing services tailored for experience-driven businesses such as farms, zoos, Christmas attractions, and historical sites. As the company experiences growth across product, engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, support, and operations, especially with expanding hiring in the US (Austin), they are establishing an internal recruitment function.

This position offers the opportunity to create and lead the entire recruitment process at Beyonk, emphasizing the use of efficient, AI-driven tools and existing platforms like Notion instead of costly systems. The role is based in London, requiring onsite presence two days per week, and applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full recruitment lifecycle for roles across all departments including intake, sourcing, interviewing, and closing offers swiftly.
• Collaborate closely with hiring managers in both the UK and the US, accommodating some US working hours.
• Proactively find and engage high-potential candidates who may not have applied directly.
• Advocate for Beyonk’s culture, mission, and opportunities to candidates, assessing potential beyond typical CV matches and negotiating competitive offers.
• Ensure a high-quality candidate experience, leaving all applicants with a positive impression regardless of the hiring outcome.
• Maintain stringent hiring standards by resisting pressure to fill positions with unsuitable candidates.

Building the Recruitment Framework

Hiring demand may fluctuate; during quieter times, you will:

• Develop the employer brand and nurture talent pools for anticipated roles.
• Create and optimize recruitment tools and processes such as ATS configurations, interviewing guidelines, scorecards, and manager training, focusing on AI integration and Notion usage.
• Work with operations to support onboarding and other HR initiatives.
• Manage recruitment analytics, including funnel conversion rates, time-to-hire, cost-efficiency, and diversity metrics.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate typically possesses between 18 months and 4 years of comprehensive recruitment experience, ideally in agency or in-house roles within startups or scale-ups. You should be proficient in running end-to-end hiring processes across a variety of functions, having filled at least 30 positions across go-to-market, back-office, and engineering teams.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with shifting priorities.
• Skilled at maintaining quality conversations, averaging 3-5 solid candidate interactions daily, with a focus on effectiveness rather than volume.
• Strong in active sourcing, quickly locating and engaging passive talent.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, consistently providing outstanding candidate experiences.
• Talent for recognizing potential early, translating it into assessment criteria and interview questions.
• Capability to promote roles by aligning candidates with Beyonk’s culture and purpose from initial contact through offer acceptance.
• Systematic thinker with a track record of improving recruitment processes and metrics through technological and procedural innovations.
• Experience or openness to integrating AI into recruitment workflows is highly valued.

Additional beneficial experiences include hiring for US-based teams (especially Austin), technical screening skills, and exposure to employer branding, people operations, or recruitment analytics.
