Civitas Talent is partnering exclusively with Castle Group - a rapid-growing, founder-led business scaling across property, data centres and industrial energy - to appoint their first dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner. This is a genuine ground-floor chance to build a talent function from scratch in a business with real momentum.
About the role
Reporting to the HR Manager, this is a standalone, build-and-run role. You'll do two things brilliantly: proactively source and fill roles across specialised infrastructure, engineering and energy markets, and build the engine behind hiring - frameworks, systems, employer brand and process - so the business scales with quality. It's equal parts hands-on recruiter and strategic builder.
What you'll do
Proactively source and fill roles across technical and leadership positions
Build capability frameworks and support workforce planning as the business grows
Establish Employment Hero as the talent database - templates, workflows, pipelines
Create a standout employer brand and candidate experience
Bring structure to hiring: competency-based interviews, assessment and psychometrics
Introduce smart, AI-enabled sourcing and automation to lift hiring speed and quality
Manage agency relationships and commercial terms with a sharp commercial eye
What you'll bring
5+ years in talent acquisition or recruitment, ideally including a standalone or lead role
A proactive, direct-sourcing mindset - you go and find talent, you don't wait for applications
Experience building frameworks, processes or employer-brand initiatives
Comfort in a lean, founder-led workplace where you own outcomes
Technology and AI literacy, matched by genuine commercial savvy
ATS experience (Employment Hero a plus)
What's on offer
The autonomy to build something and leave your fingerprints on it
A founder-led business with real growth and momentum
Norwest location, close-knit team, onsite collaboration
