We're growing and looking for a Talent Associate to join us.

Reachdesk is hiring a Talent Associate to support hiring quality, consistency, and speed across the business. This is an entry-level, 3 month fixed term role with the potential to become permanent, based on performance. It is designed for someone who is curious, proactive, and motivated to build a career in people-focused roles across the business.

This is not a traditional entry-level hiring role. At Reachdesk, we take a thoughtful, high bar, and increasingly innovative approach to recruitment. We care deeply about interview quality, selection accuracy, candidate experience, and building hiring processes that actually identify high performing candidates with the drive to succeed. That means structured assessments, clear evaluation standards, continuous process improvement, and a willingness to use smarter, more modern approaches to get better outcomes.

You'll work closely with our People team and get hands on experience of exceptional hiring in practice. You'll learn how to identify strong candidates, support structured interviews, maintain high quality process standards, and keep hiring workflows running smoothly from application through to decision. You'll also contribute to a team that is always pushing to improve and finding smarter, more innovative ways to hire.

This role is ideal for someone who is organised, curious, highly detail-oriented, and excited by the idea of helping build a more modern and effective talent function.

• Keep ATS records accurate and up to date.
