Our purpose is to catalyse good disruptions in critical economic systems. These disruptions are not only vital to the future of humanity and our planet, they also open up immense opportunities for the businesses that drive them. SYSTEMIQ connects the right people, ideas, technologies, and capital to transform economic systems. 

Are you yearning to work for a company that has a positive purpose, but still a commercial approach?

To enable our growth we are looking for an in-house Recruiter to join the team in London. You will have ownership of the whole recruitment and talent acquisition agenda and freedom to shape and develop this. If you are keen to get involved in the broader talent development agenda, too, then you will enjoy this opportunity!  

With a strong track record hiring into professional services at all levels, ideally within consulting, you also have some experience recruiting internationally. You are quick to build an in-depth understanding of a new business and different types of specialist roles, and become a confident and compelling advocate for the company, strengthening the employer brand in all your interactions. You are used to coming up with a variety of sourcing strategies and continually engaging with diverse pools of potential candidates to build the talent pipeline. 

You should be conversant with talent management, resourcing and career development beyond recruitment and excited to get involved in building and running those approaches as part of the HR team, as well as supporting with other HR topics and organisation development occasionally as needed. You will work closely with our partners, project managers and other colleagues, too.

This role is available either full-time, or part-time at 4 days per week (or equivalent). We have a flexible culture in terms of working hours and working from home. We have cool new offices within excellent transport links (and bike facilities) in the heart of London, with a view of St Paul's cathedral. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Continually evolve our recruitment strategies and approaches so that we have the best people with the right skills to enable growth and success in our mission.

• Innovative and results-driven approach to sourcing, using a variety of tactics and coming up with creative solutions when the tried-and-tested isn’t working.
• Experience attracting and hiring high-demand, specialist candidates.

• Wants to get involved with the broader talent and resourcing agenda; ideally some exposure to that previously, e.g. working as part of a HR team.
• Some experience working in a small business where you can shape the whole company and equally need to take a proactive role supporting a variety of tasks from time to time.
• Sense of pace and urgency while still prioritising the right outcome.
