MyBuilder helps homeowners find reliable tradesmen through the power of online reviews. We’re a market leader in the UK and are part of IAC, a well known New York based internet group (Tripadvisor, Vimeo, Match, Tinder, Home Advisor, etc.).
MyBuilder operates throughout the UK and our office is in Clerkenwell, Central London. We’re a hard working, close-knit team dedicated to our mission and creating an incredible product. Our headquarters reflect our unique culture: we have an office bar, guitars, a staff band and colleagues who cook each other lunch.
The role
It’s an exciting time for MyBuilder, having recently joined the IAC group, and with that comes the need to find more excellent people to join our growing team. We’re looking for an outstanding recruitment manager with the ability to identify and entice the absolute best candidates as we embark on a journey to become the market leader in the UK.
You will be responsible for the recruitment machine, supporting hiring managers across the business so they are able to keep pace with our ambitious growth plans. A typical day might consist of; sketching out a new role with a hiring manager; crafting an appealing job advert; getting the advert onto the right job boards; screening applications in Workable, our CTS; some LinkedIn sleuthing to uncover great passive candidates; telephone/Skype/in person interviews; or organising interviews on the hiring manager’s behalf.
In the longer-term, we’d like to build on our employer branding which will require organising or attending recruitment events. You’ll be an ambassador for our culture, tasked with conveying our values externally to potential employees. You’ll also be responsible for ensuring a quality candidate experience once they’re through the door and ultimately showcasing MyBuilder as a desirable place to work from start to finish.
The right fit
The right person will have experience working in-house as a recruiter for a wide variety of roles. Ideally you will have experience working in a smaller, high-growth business and understand the challenges of growing from Startup to successful, established team.
We have needs across tech, marketing and operations, so you’ll have experience and the versatility to recruit for many disciplines, and to grow a network of candidates across them all. experience of communicating an employer brand externally would also be beneficial.
You will be in regular contact with managers across the business, so you’ll have a friendly demeanour, a cool temperament and the ability to nudge where appropriate to make sure recruitment is being prioritised. Organisation skills are an absolute must, you’ll be spinning many plates and in our experience you have to move swiftly to get the very best candidates.
