Talent Acquisition Specialist

Join FeedbackFruits

At FeedbackFruits, we're on a mission to transform education through technology. We believe education is key to facing society's future challenges and achieving our full potential as individuals. We build technology-supported learning activities that help teachers turn curiosity into lifelong learning and critical thinking. 🌱

As our Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll be at the heart of our growth, helping us find the passionate, talented people who will drive our mission forward. You'll work across departments to understand needs, manage the full recruitment lifecycle, and ensure a smooth, positive, and inclusive candidate experience.

Just to give you an idea, this is what your week could look like in this role:

Monday: On Monday, we have the weekly people team check-in. Together with the team you discuss what is pressing and where you might need help. You'll align on priorities and discuss any new hiring needs. You'll spend time updating job descriptions with hiring managers and planning your sourcing strategy for the week.

Tuesday: Your morning is dedicated to sourcing candidates for our open roles across departments. You'll explore various channels beyond LinkedIn, finding creative ways to reach diverse talent pools. In the afternoon, you have your 1:1 with the Head of People to discuss your progress and any challenges and you’ll do your screening calls.

Wednesday: Today might also be your screening day. You'll connect with potential candidates, share our mission, and assess their fit for our roles. You'll update our ATS with detailed feedback and move qualified candidates through to the next stage.

Thursday: You're partnering with Marketing to enhance our employer brand. Together, you're crafting social media content that showcases our unique culture and planning for upcoming recruitment events. Later, you'll analyze recent recruitment data in Ashby to optimize our processes and to make informed decisions.

Friday: Today's about closing candidates and keeping hiring managers updated. You'll have offer discussions, negotiate terms, and ensure candidates have everything they need to make an informed decision. You'll wrap up the week by celebrating new hires and wins with the team.

This is an indication of what we think your week could look like. How it will really be is up to you. We give you the freedom to do your best work and deliver it in a way you feel most comfortable with.
