Recruitment Partner

Join Sprout People and work directly with founders and leadership teams to help build the teams that scale ambitious businesses.

This role would suit someone with around two years of recruitment experience who enjoys recruitment but wants to do it in a more thoughtful, strategic way than traditional agency or internal roles.

As a Recruitment Partner at Sprout People, you’ll work alongside founders, executives, and leadership teams to help design and deliver the roles that shape their businesses.

Our work typically spans three areas:

• Go-to-market roles (sales, marketing, growth)
• Technical and niche specialist roles
• Leadership and executive appointments

Rather than simply filling roles, you’ll help clients clarify what they actually need, shape positions, and find the people who can help their businesses grow.

What Makes This Role Different Many recruitment roles focus on volume and transactions.

At Sprout People, we take a partnership-led approach.
You’ll:

• Help design roles with clients, not just fill them
• Work directly with founders and business owners
• Offer insight and problem-solving around hiring challenges
• Occasionally advise clients not to hire when that’s the right decision

It’s recruitment — but done in a more strategic and impactful way.

You’ll likely have around 1–2 years’ recruitment experience and be:

• Curious about startups, scale-ups, and growth companies
• A problem solver who enjoys understanding how organisations work
• Driven, coachable, and motivated to learn
• Comfortable working with autonomy and flexibility

You may also be someone considering internal talent roles, but still want the variety and learning that comes from working across multiple businesses.

Why Join Sprout People?

• Work with founders, entrepreneurs, and ambitious growth companies
• Gain exposure to a wide range of industries and roles
• Be part of a collaborative, supportive team that is highly engaged
• Enjoy flexibility and autonomy in how you work
• Build a career in strategic recruitment partnership

If you’re excited about helping ambitious companies build great teams and want to grow your recruitment career in a different way, we’d love to hear from you.
