The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Talent Partner to help shape the future of Speechmatics by finding and securing the best talent across the business — with a strong focus on Engineering, Machine Learning, Sales, and Marketing. This is a high-impact role at the heart of our People team, where you’ll take ownership of the full hiring journey and play a key part in how we scale.
Over the last two years, we’ve achieved 100% direct hiring and built an in-house recruitment model to be proud of. You’ll continue that momentum — leading direct hiring efforts, building diverse pipelines, and delivering a standout candidate experience. You’ll work closely with hiring managers as a trusted partner and own our employer brand across platforms like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Welcome to the Jungle.
We’re also open to agency recruiters ready to move in-house. If you’re confident managing direct hiring end to end, we’ll support you with the rest. This is a chance to step into a role with real ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact as we continue to grow.

- Owning and contributing to employer branding initiatives across platforms like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and Welcome to the Jungle
- Collaborating with the People team to influence and shape the wider people agenda
- Proactively sourcing candidates through tools, job boards, events, networking, referrals, and headhunting
- Acting as a strategic business partner, able to influence and guide hiring decisions across the company
Who We Are Looking For
- Someone with in-house or agency recruitment experience, ideally with some focus on tech or ML hiring
- Comfortable hiring across a range of functions, including engineering, machine learning, sales, and marketing
- Confident sourcing and engaging passive candidates in competitive markets
- Familiar with technical roles and languages, and able to get up to speed quickly with new technologies
- Commercially minded, able to challenge and shape briefs to ensure the right hire

What We Can Offer You
No matter what stage of your career you’re at - from paid internships and first-job opportunities through to management and senior positions - we’ll support you with the training and development needed to reach your career aspirations with us. There really is no shortage of opportunities here for you to get involved and collaborate with those around you to deliver your best work.
We offer incredibly flexible working, regular company lunches, and birthday celebrations. But that’s not all. We’ve spoken to our teams to find out what they want. From Private Medical, and Dental for you and your family, through to global working opportunities, a generous holiday allowance and pension/401K matching, we want to make sure our employees and their families are looked after. Every employee will receive a working from home allowance for tech or home office equipment (on top of your choice of laptop and accessories of course). Our approach to parental leave is designed to support employees globally. While this varies by geo, we have support in place for parents (including adoption assistance and reproductive health services) to ensure they have the time and financial resources needed to care for their growing families.
At Speechmatics, our mission is simple: Understand Every Voice out there.
That's not just about our tech – it's the heart and soul of who we are. We welcome different experiences, viewpoints, and identities. For us, it’s not just the right thing to do; it’s our catalyst for sparking innovation and creativity. Our teams thrive in an environment that celebrates and supports everyone – no matter their gender, identity or expression, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, marital status, national origin, veteran status, pregnancy, or maternity status.
But we don’t just open the door to diversity – we actively welcome it. Why? Because we believe every unique voice adds something special to our team, leading us to smarter solutions and a better workplace.
So, come as you are and join our Speechling community. We’re building a place where every voice not only gets heard but is also respected and valued.
