As we continue to bring brilliant talent into the business, and expand our presence in Barcelona, we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner who thrives in a fast-paced environment and genuinely loves switching between completely different role types.
This is a chance to influence how we hire, shape how we show up in the tech talent market, and work as part of a small, close-knit TA team that genuinely has each other’s backs - a team that moves fast, supports each other, and celebrates wins together.
Forget endless checklists - here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:
Finding and hiring brilliant people across Checkatrade, with an focus on Tech, Product, Engineering and R&D. You’ll use your sourcing craft to uncover hard-to-find talent and build strong pipelines long before we need them.
Partnering directly with hiring managers and leaders. Understanding what good looks like, pushing thinking, challenging assumptions and shaping hiring decisions using insight and data - not guesswork.
Switching gears at pace. One hour you’re sourcing software engineers, the next you’re screening a product manager or kicking off a people operations role. If you enjoy variety, you’ll love this.
Driving high-velocity TA projects. From AI and automation to data dashboards, employer brand campaigns and Barcelona activation - you’ll help build the next generation of how we hire.
Championing an outstanding candidate experience. Whether it’s designing smoother processes, improving communication, or fixing friction points - you’ll own moments that matter.
Helping us establish our Barcelona tech-hiring ecosystem. Events, communities, brand activity, relationships - you’ll be part of something we’re building from the ground up.
It’s not about ticking every box. It’s about showing up curious, collaborative and ready to crack on. You’ll thrive here if you bring:
Experience hiring in tech, product, engineering or R&D. You understand these markets and you know how to source talent that isn’t sitting on job boards.
A love for pace, variety and context-switching. Our team is small, tightly connected and moves fast. You need to enjoy the buzz, not be overwhelmed by it.
Strong sourcing instincts. You know how to go beyond LinkedIn, find signals in the noise, and engage candidates who are in high demand.
A data-minded, insight-driven way of working. You don’t just deliver CVs - you help hiring managers make smarter decisions using dashboards, market intel and trends.
Collaboration without ego. You enjoy working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, PMs, leaders and our People team - solving problems together, not throwing things over the fence.
Clear, confident communication. You can tell a story, influence decisions, and hold your own in fast-moving conversations.
Ownership and action. You’re comfortable making calls, handling ambiguity, and taking projects from idea to impact.
This role is 3 days a week, minimum, in our Moorgate office.
We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here’s just a taste:
Competitive salary + annual bonus
Health, well-being and learning support
Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme
Birthday/Special day leave
Buy & sell holiday scheme
1 week’s paid charity leave and much more!
How we’ll get to know each other:
Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners
Business interview with your future TA colleagues
Final stage: Case Study Presentation (60 mins) with our Head of Talent, VP of People and a business stakeholder - focusing on how you use, or want to use, AI within TA.
