🌅 WHO WE ARE
Apprentify Group is a portfolio of six companies, each with its own culture, personality, and people. Across the group we support around 10,000 learners annually and we're growing fast — but we've never lost sight of the fact that a wrong hire in the wrong culture costs everyone.
We believe the best talent isn't always looking. That's why this role is built around headhunting — and around reading people well enough to know not just whether they can do the job, but whether they'll thrive here.
👥 TEAM & CULTURE
You'll join a lean, ambitious People team that moves quickly, cares about doing things properly, and isn't afraid to build the plane while flying it.
What we value:
- Curiosity over perfection
- Progress over polish
- People who take ownership without being asked
We celebrate wins loudly and handle setbacks by being honest about what happened — no blame, just learning.
Retention across our six companies matters as much as the hire. Each business has its own culture and way of working — you'll need to understand those differences and use them to match the right person to the right environment. Culture fit isn't a nice-to-have here; it's a core part of the job.
⚡ WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
This is not a post-and-pray role. You'll be headhunting — primarily via LinkedIn — to source high-quality candidates who aren't actively looking. You'll own the candidate journey from first message to offer, and you'll care about how people feel along the way.
Your core focus:
- Headhunting via LinkedIn and social channels — this is your primary route to market, not job boards
- Building and maintaining a strong social media presence to attract passive talent
- Developing and executing talent attraction strategies across our six client companies
- Managing the full candidate experience — from first contact to onboarding handover
- Owning candidate NPS: you'll be measured on how people feel about the process, not just whether they accepted
- Retaining candidates through the pipeline — drop-off is a metric you'll track and own
- Hitting a minimum of 4 role fills per month across the group
- Collaborating with hiring managers to understand culture fit, not just the job spec
- Using AI tools daily to sharpen your workflow: sourcing research, outreach personalisation, job advert drafting, candidate communications, and pipeline reporting
🎯 HOW YOU'RE MEASURED
We believe in transparent targets. Here's exactly what success looks like:
- 4+ roles filled per month (minimum threshold for commission)
- £250 commission per role filled — uncapped
- Quarterly bonus up to £1,500 per quarter, tied to: NPS score of the candidate experience, social media growth and engagement, quality of hire retention at 90 days
- Passive talent applications generated via social channels
✅ IS THIS FOR YOU?
- 1–2 years' recruitment experience — agency, in-house, or a brilliant hybrid of both
- You've headhunted before. LinkedIn Recruiter or similar doesn't intimidate you
- You have a genuine feel for social media — you create content, not just scroll it
- You're curious about people and what makes them tick — culture fit matters to you
- You can manage multiple roles, stakeholders, and timelines without dropping the ball
- You're comfortable using AI tools daily — not as a gimmick, but to work smarter and faster
- You're energised by targets, not threatened by them
- You care about the candidate experience as much as the fill rate
This is NOT for you if:
- You rely on job boards as your primary sourcing channel
- You think candidate comms can wait until it's convenient
- You want a slow, structured corporate environment
- Social media feels like someone else's job
