Guiding candidates through our hiring process whilst enhancing the candidate experience.

You will use market & competitor intelligence, to ensure that we identify, target, and engage with key talent.
-
You’ll continuously advocate our inclusive hiring practices and help drive our diversity sourcing initiatives.
-
Acting as a mentor to others, you will seek growth and share what you learn.

We are a fast growing team and company. You will be expected to lead and contribute to broader talent initiatives across the organisation.

A bit more about you.
- You are an effective communicator, comfortable talking to people of any level, whether it’s in person, on the phone or in writing. You understand how best to adapt your approach to your audience.
- You are an adaptable self-starter - someone who can use their own initiative to keep things running at pace and won’t wait for answers.

This is a London based role and like all roles at Wise our flexible working model allows you to spend time in the office, home or elsewhere to balance your personal life and other commitments. Once you've onboarded, given the nature of the role you should expect to be in the office around 3 days per week.
