GTM Talent Partner

POWERING GREAT WORK We started as the place to find a trusted trade. Now, as we shape the future of home improvement, we're building the tech to transform that landscape for everyone - better products, smarter data, AI where it actually helps - so trades can spend less time on admin and consumers can find someone they trust, first time. That's Powering Great Work, and it's why every team here exists: 🔧 Trades spend less time on admin and more on winning work and growing their business 🏠 Homeowners get a trusted trade, first time, every time 🚀 We get to build products that change homes and lives across the country As our GTM Talent Partner, you'll own hiring across a broad commercial area of Checkatrade, partnering closely with our leaders to find the people who'll help us get there. We're a lean, hands-on Talent team, so this is much bigger than picking up reqs. You'll properly own your space: understanding the business, challenging what we actually need, using data to influence decisions and making our hiring and processes better as you go. THE JOB, UNFILTERED: - Own end-to-end hiring across our GTM organisation, with a particular focus across Sales, Account Management, Revenue and Commercial Operations. - Get properly under the skin of the areas you support: how they work, how they make money, what they're trying to achieve and the talent they need to get there. - Partner with senior commercial leaders, building enough trust to challenge a brief, push back on an unrealistic expectation and bring a point of view rather than simply taking an order. - Run multiple searches at once without losing pace, quality or candidate experience. - Build strong passive pipelines and talent pools so we're not starting from zero every time a role lands. - Use data to understand what's actually happening in your hiring. Think pipeline health, application sources, conversion rates, pass-through, rejection themes and market insight - then use it to recommend what we do differently. - Use AI and modern tooling to make sourcing, screening, analysis and the wider hiring process smarter and more efficient. - Keep Ashby useful and accurate. We actually use our hiring data to make decisions, so good ATS hygiene matters. - Spot things that aren't working and help us fix them. You'll have space to improve processes, test new tools and challenge the way we've always done things. - Get involved in wider TA projects across data, automation, tooling, employer brand and candidate experience. - Be part of the wider People team, working closely with People Partners and other teams rather than operating in a TA bubble. Basically, you'll hire great people, but you'll also help us build a better Talent function while you're doing it. THE FIT: The environment you've worked in matters to us. We're particularly keen to meet people who've been in-house in a fast-paced tech, scale-up or high-growth business, ideally as part of a lean Talent team where you've had genuine ownership of an area rather than one small part of the process. You'll ideally bring: - Strong in-house Talent experience within a fast-moving tech or high-growth environment. - Solid GTM/commercial hiring experience, particularly across Sales, Account Management, Revenue or Commercial Operations. - Experience working in a lean TA environment where you've owned hiring end-to-end and contributed beyond your individual reqs. - Confidence partnering with senior commercial stakeholders who will challenge you and expect you to know your stuff. - A genuinely data-led approach. You can use hiring metrics, pipeline data and market insight to diagnose a problem, tell a clear story and influence a decision. - Strong sourcing skills and the confidence to proactively find great passive talent rather than relying on inbound applications. - Experience managing multiple priorities in an environment where things move quickly and the brief isn't always perfectly formed. - Curiosity around AI, automation and new recruiting technology, with hands-on experience using tools to make your work better. - Strong organisation and communication. You keep things moving and don't let the important stuff fall through the cracks. - A low ego and high standards. You'll challenge when you need to, take feedback well and care about making the whole team better. (Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.)
