Business Recruiter

📍London | £50-65,000 | Benefits 

About us: 

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

We're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products. We want to make the world a better place and change people's lives through Monzo.

We're looking for an experienced recruiter who would join the Hiring team and help us source and hire talented and diverse people. 

You’ll spend your time:

• Helping us hire the right people, across Monzo
• Figuring out how best to do that
• Helping support more junior members of the team in being the best recruiters they can be.

You’ll work with Hiring Managers to structure and run great hiring processes

Our hiring managers are often busy team leads and executives. They’ll need your help to identify what skills they’re looking for and how best to assess these. You’ll be confident challenging their thinking and asking the right questions to figure this out. You’ll own everything about the hiring process from beginning to end, and be skilled at convincing candidates to join us.

You’ll care deeply about diversity and inclusiveness, and giving candidates an amazing experience

We want to go the extra mile to make sure that every applicant to every job feels valued, respected and never wavers in their support for Monzo, whatever the outcome of their application. You’ll know where to find the right candidates from a range of backgrounds and have ideas about how to make sure they feel welcome at Monzo. And once we’ve decided we want to hire someone, you’ll move mountains in the background to make it an effortless, pleasant process, and keep that excitement burning.

You’ll love sourcing and be great at working with external recruiters/headhunters

We often work with agencies to find the best candidates for our most senior and hard to fill roles. You’ll be confident building and managing these relationships and enjoy making the most of them. You’ll understand cost-to-hire considerations and be able to decide when we don’t need an agency. Because you’ll also be great at sourcing passive candidates yourself, and thinking about how to get the best people interested in Monzo.

You’ll be passionate about making processes work better

We constantly refine our hiring processes to make them simpler and more effective. You’ll use data to work out what’s going well and where things could be better, and share your findings with other members of the hiring team so we can all improve. 

You might already have a specialist area but you’ll be comfortable working on any role

We don’t mind if you’re a generalist recruiter, or if you already have a specialism, as long as you’re initially happy getting stuck into hiring any role that needs you. You’ll work closely with other members of the hiring team to solve company-wide hiring problems, share what you already know and learn from their experiences. As the team builds out, you’ll be able to continue specialising as an individual contributor, or explore development into management or leadership.

You should apply if:

• You’ve experience recruiting multiple roles, possibly in a range of disciplines
• You care deeply about inclusiveness and diversity
• You love sourcing and pride yourself on your resourcefulness
• You’re empathetic, adaptable and respectful of candidates’ needs and priorities
• You can adapt your approach to work with a range of stakeholders with different needs
• You can tell whether somebody has the skills we’re looking for, without relying on previous job titles or qualifications

It would be great if:

• You've experience recruiting in-house at a startup or scale-up
• You've worked directly with executives 

The interview process:

 Our interview process involves 3 main stages: 

1. 30 minute Recruiter Call
2. Initial Call with our a member of the team
3. 2-3 interviews

Our average process takes around 2-3 weeks but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process but if you do have any specific questions ahead of this please contact us on [email removed - click apply for more details]
