About the opportunity

Civitas Talent is partnering exclusively with Castle Group - a fast-growing, founder-led business scaling across property, data centres and industrial energy - to appoint their first dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner. This is a genuine ground-floor opportunity to build a talent function from scratch in a business with real momentum.


About the role

Reporting to the HR Manager, this is a standalone, build-and-run role. You'll do two things brilliantly: proactively source and fill roles across specialised infrastructure, engineering and energy markets, and build the engine behind hiring - frameworks, systems, employer brand and process - so the business scales with quality. It's equal parts hands-on recruiter and strategic builder.


What you'll do

  • Proactively source and fill roles across technical and leadership positions
  • Build capability frameworks and support workforce planning as the business grows
  • Establish Employment Hero as the talent database - templates, workflows, pipelines
  • Create a standout employer brand and candidate experience
  • Bring structure to hiring: competency-based interviews, assessment and psychometrics
  • Introduce smart, AI-enabled sourcing and automation to lift hiring speed and quality
  • Manage agency relationships and commercial terms with a sharp commercial eye


What you'll bring

  • 5+ years in talent acquisition or recruitment, ideally including a standalone or lead role
  • A proactive, direct-sourcing mindset - you go and find talent, you don't wait for applications
  • Experience building frameworks, processes or employer-brand initiatives
  • Comfort in a lean, founder-led environment where you own outcomes
  • Technology and AI literacy, matched by genuine commercial savvy
  • ATS experience (Employment Hero a plus)


What's on offer

  • The autonomy to build something and leave your fingerprints on it
  • A founder-led business with real growth and momentum
  • Norwest location, close-knit team, onsite collaboration
