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 opportunity 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 environment where you own outcomes

Technology and AI literacy, matched by genuine commercial savvy

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
