Talent Acquisition Partner

Talent Partner - London

About Us

At Simmer, we're on a mission to make healthy eating effortless. We create chef-made, high-protein meals inspired by flavours from around the world, making it easier for busy people to eat well every day.

What started with £10 worth of ingredients and a handful of family recipes has grown into one of the UK's fastest-growing businesses. In both 2025 and 2026, Simmer was recognised by The Sunday Times as the UK's 5th fastest-growing company. We're proud of that recognition, but we're much more interested in what comes next. Simmer was founded by brothers Simmy and Jhai Dhillon, who built the business alongside university, full-time jobs and countless late nights in the kitchen before taking the leap and committing to it full time. That mindset still shapes the business today. We're a deliberately lean team, which means people here get unusually close to the work, the customers and the decisions that shape the business. We care far more about trajectory than titles and look for people who are curious, commercially minded and willing to take ownership.

We're ambitious, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We work hard, celebrate wins together and know that the best ideas can come from anywhere. As Simmer grows, the opportunities for the people building it grow too. There's still a huge amount to build, and we think we're only at the beginning.

If you're excited by the idea of helping shape one of the UK's fastest-growing consumer brands alongside curious people who take ownership and enjoy solving difficult problems, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a fully founder-led company with no private equity or corporate layers. The founders still run the business, set the standard and are deeply present in the work. For the people that join Simmer, that means operating with real ownership, close to the decision-making, on problems that genuinely move the business.

Now we're hiring a Talent Partner to help build the team behind the next stage of growth.

What we're looking for

This role would suit someone currently working in agency recruitment who has strong foundations and is looking for a steeper learning curve.

You might be one of the people your manager relies on. The person who spots quality early, builds strong relationships naturally and consistently finds ways to outperform expectations.

You're naturally curious about people, teams and businesses. When someone hires a CFO, launches a new product or changes strategy, your instinct is to understand why.

You enjoy figuring things out.

You ask good questions. You challenge assumptions. You notice patterns others miss.

You're commercially aware and understand that great hiring isn't about filling jobs. It's about solving business problems through people.

You care more about becoming exceptional than looking impressive.

You'll likely have:

• 1-4 years of recruitment experience.

• A track record of consistently delivering strong work.

• Strong emotional intelligence and good judgement.

• High standards and strong attention to detail.

• The ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality.

• The confidence to form your own opinions and the humility to change them when presented with better information.

The environment here is fast, direct and often ambiguous.

There won't always be a perfect brief.

There won't always be a playbook.

There won't always be someone telling you exactly what to do next.

That's part of the attraction.

You'll get exposure to founder-level hiring, senior decision-making and business-building much earlier than you would in most companies.

This isn't a soft landing out of agency.

It's an opportunity to take the pace, resilience and commercial instinct you've developed in recruitment and apply it inside one of the UK's most ambitious consumer businesses.

If you're excited by steep learning curves, real ownership and the opportunity to become genuinely excellent at talent, we'd love to hear from you.
