Recruiter​/People Partner; HFBAC Talent Community

Overview

Type:
Remote | Future Opportunities | Talent Pipeline

We're building a pipeline of talented recruitment professionals for future opportunities s isn't an immediate vacancy—it's an invitation to join our community so we can reach out when the right role opens up.

HFBAC (Hiring For and Building Awesome Companies) helps bootstrapped founders and growing companies build teams that actually work. Our Chemistry First methodology prioritises team fit over impressive CVs—because 89% of hiring failures come from chemistry problems, not skill gaps. If you're frustrated by the "CV in, CV out" approach to recruitment, you might love what we're building.

• Talent Sourcer:
  Finding exceptional candidates through creative sourcing strategies, Boolean searches, and relationship building—not just posting job ads
• Candidate Screening Specialist:
  Conducting Chemistry First assessments to evaluate team fit, working style compatibility, and cultural alignment
• Client Delivery Partner:
  Supporting end-to-end hiring processes for our clients, from brief through to offer acceptance
• People Partner:
  Working embedded with growing companies as their fractional talent partner

• Have recruitment experience (agency, in-house, or RPO) - but are frustrated by traditional CV-first approaches
• Understand that great hiring is about chemistry and fit, not just skills matching
• Are genuinely curious about what makes teams work (and what makes them fall apart)
• Can build rapport quickly with candidates and clients via video
• Are comfortable with Boolean searching and creative sourcing
• Thrive in remote, async environments with minimal supervision
• Have strong English communication skills
• Excited about helping founders build awesome companies

We're not a high-volume recruitment agency chasing numbers. We work with bootstrapped founders and growing companies who can't afford hiring mistakes. Our Chemistry First methodology means we spend more time understanding team dynamics and less time keyword-matching CVs.

If you've ever thought "there has to be a better way to do recruitment," you'll probably like it here.

• Fully remote with flexible hours (some UK timezone overlap required for client/candidate meetings)
• Results-focused - we care about outcomes, not hours logged
• Early-stage environment where your work has real impact
• Roles typically start part-time with potential to grow
• Direct access to Helen (founder, 27 years recruitment experience) and genuine opportunities to develop your craft

When you submit your application, you'll receive a confirmation email. We review submissions regularly and reach out when relevant opportunities arise. There's no obligation on either side—we're simply staying connected.

When we do have an opening, our process includes a 30-45 minute video conversation with Helen, followed by a paid trial period (10-15 hours, $120-180 USD) to ensure we're the right fit for each other.

Please complete the application form with a brief overview of your recruitment experience and what you enjoyed (or didn't), what interests you about the Chemistry First approach, and your general availability and timezone. Questions? Email
