Early Careers Recruiter
6 month contract
About Us
We’re an embedded talent consultancy on a mission to evolve how businesses recruit. Our clients include some of the most innovative organisations in the world — from Google-backed unicorns to Fintech and SaaS scale-ups reshaping their industries.
Our team spans the UK, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and Vietnam. We’re remote-first, globally minded, and deeply collaborative. We believe hiring should be human-centred, data-informed, and impact-driven — creating better outcomes for companies and candidates alike.
Why This Role Exists
Our client is a multinational enterprise software company who are scaling their early-career hiring significantly. The current graduate cohort is approximately 250 per year, with a target of reaching 1,000 over the next 12 months. Growth will be incremental, with the immediate pipeline consisting of 82 graduates hiring in July and a further 250 from October through January.
As an Early Careers Recruiter, you will join a globally distributed team of four, reporting to the Early Careers Lead. The team sits within our client's wider Talent Acquisition function.
What You'll Do
• Own end-to-end graduate recruiting across the US, Canada, and global markets.
• Manage university and pipeline partner relationships, including career fairs, events, and campus engagement.
• Deliver against ambitious onboarding targets: 82 hires by July, 250 from October through January.
• Run candidates through assessment processes using in-house ATS and psychometric testing tools.
• Coordinate with hiring managers and programme stakeholders across functions.
• Track and report on pipeline health, conversion rates, and cohort progress.
• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and candidate experience as the programme scales.
• Contribute subject matter expertise on early careers best practice to the wider TA team.
• Support scoping and early planning for a future tech apprenticeship programme (nice to have, not essential on day one).
Requirements:
• 2+ years of recent and demonstrable early-career recruiting experience as a primary focus.
• Hands-on experience running graduate programme recruitment end-to-end, from pipeline building through to offer management.
• Experience managing university and campus relationships directly.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with defined targets.
• Ability to work autonomously within a small, globally distributed team.
Bonus if you have
• Experience with tech sector graduate or apprenticeship programmes.
• Familiarity with bespoke ATS platforms.
• Experience recruiting across multiple geographies (US, Canada, international).
• Background in scaling early-career cohorts through periods of significant growth.
• Exposure to apprenticeship programme design, particularly within technology functions.
