Our Mission is to change the way teams scale forever and for the better. Empowering visionaries, to leave their print on the planet.

Founded in 2020, Bond is a global embedded talent consultancy that scales high-growth businesses and builds world-class teams. We do this through a flexible subscription model, embedding TA consultants directly into in-house teams. As a true consultancy, we solve some of the toughest talent acquisition challenges out there — across a diverse portfolio of scale-ups, SMEs, and some of the world's most well-known enterprises.

People are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that if you hire great people and treat them well, the rest is easy. At our core, we're a group of talent acquisition professionals united by Bond's mission, vision, and values.

With teams across EMEA and the US, we're looking for great people who care deeply about their work and want to build with ambitious businesses shaping the future.

We're on the lookout for talented people to join our amazing team in Ballymena.

This role is based on-site 4 days per week at our client's office.

Our Talent Partners embed into super cool companies like Snyk, Williams F1 and Graphcore! We design recruitment processes fit for rapid growth businesses, while headhunting some pretty niche roles! We don’t have KPI’s, targets or BD requirements at Bond, it’s all about the outcomes. Data underpins all of our processes, and we've built a world class bespoke Dataverse so that we can make informed decisions always.

Our people are the most important part of Bond. The real secret is to hire and retain the very best talent professionals in the world! If we do that the rest is easy.
