About the role
We’re looking for a meticulous and proactive Internal Talent Partner to join our growing Operations team.
Reporting to the HR Manager, you’ll take full ownership of internal recruitment across Akkar. You’ll partner more widely with leadership to understand requirements, craft compelling job descriptions, and ensure every stage of the recruitment journey reflects Akkar’s culture and expectations. You’ll be operationally strong, but capable of influencing upwards and improving systems from within, using your curiosity and consultative approach to identify opportunities for growth and refinement.
About the role
This is a hands-on internal recruitment role at the heart of Akkar’s growth.
As we work towards becoming the leading recruitment partner to the world’s most ambitious companies, you’ll be responsible for finding the people who will get us there. You’ll be building talent pipelines, speaking to candidates every day, selling the Akkar opportunity, and keeping recruitment moving at pace.
This is first and foremost a delivery role, suited to someone who enjoys being on the phone, building relationships quickly, and creating momentum. There will also be opportunities to support the growth and development of the wider internal recruitment function as we scale.
Your Day to Day:
- Owning and managing the full internal recruitment lifecycle, from role briefing and advertising to coordinating the interview process at every stage.
- Proactively source and engage candidates through LinkedIn and other platforms, alongside reviewing inbound applications from Indeed and other job boards, recruiting across all roles within our sales and operations teams. From time to time, you may also support international hiring for our US and UAE entities.
- Partnering with leadership to define roles, timelines, and success criteria.
- Authoring clear, targeted, and engaging job descriptions and adverts that reflect Akkar’s corporate identity and values.
You’ll thrive if you have...
- Proven recruitment experience within in-house or agency environments – experience of both is highly regarded.
- Excellent verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage, influence and build genuine connections.
- Strong written ability and attention to detail, particularly when creating job descriptions and candidate communications that reflect Akkar’s corporate identity and values.
- A proactive and inquisitive approach, always seeking opportunities to refine systems, processes, and the candidate experience.
- Confidence in managing multiple priorities with accountability and focus, bringing solutions rather than problems.
- A natural ability to sell opportunities, build rapport, and positively influence people through strong communication and authentic connection.
- An appetite for fast-paced environments where results matter, ownership is encouraged, and continuous improvement is part of the culture.
In return, you’ll receive...
- Annual bonus scheme rewarding both personal impact and company performance. End-of-year lunches, Christmas socials, summer BBQs and team social allowances. Deliveroo Fridays – worth up to £780 a year.
- Office gym and pool table.
- Regular team socials and meals.
- EV and pension salary sacrifice schemes.
- EMI share scheme.
- 24 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays, with no weekend work.
- Summer Fridays – 3pm finishes every Friday in June, July and August.
- Length of service rewards like “Work From Anywhere” and extra holiday days
- One paid volunteer day (or two half-days) each year for a cause that matters to you.
