Talent Lead - Technical Recruiter in Slough

Talent Delivery Lead - Technical Recruiting in London (flexible) working across Europe’s best tech companies. We are a small, but powerful, women-led consultancy partnered with some of the leading seed-stage/high growth companies across Europe. We tackle the tricky projects - where businesses are growing in category-defining sectors, are already global market leaders who need creative ways to tackle their hiring challenges or have an exceptionally high bar for quality.

We've experienced rapid growth since our inception last year, and are now hoping to scale operations to help us deliver on some pretty punchy plans for this year. The bulk of our work tends to centre around the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and the UK.

What we are looking for:

• You’ve done ~1–5 years in tech recruitment and thought there has to be a better way to do this.
• You’re strong with people, but more importantly, you care about how relationships are built.
• You don’t want a career built on call targets and inbox churn.
• You do want to operate with more thought, creativity, and autonomy.
• We’ll give you access, trust, and the space to do your best work.

What this actually looks like:

• We don’t engage talent through volume.
• We build environments people actually want to be part of.
• Curated events with companies like Netflix - building meaningful talent pools & communities.
• Caring what someone is really about and matching them with the absolute best fit.
• Helping to define roles that have never existed before & finding the best person based on knowledge & experience - not just title searches.
• Actively engaging the absolute best operators and builders in their fields - finding a way to cut through the noise to capture their attention & creating a stellar experience to ensure we engage them.

It means conversations start earlier, trust is built faster, and hiring becomes a byproduct of genuine relationships. You won’t be stuck behind templates or chasing replies. You’ll be part of how those relationships are created in the first place.

What this role actually is:

• This is not a 360 role. No forced BD. No arbitrary KPIs.
• This is about owning talent delivery + relationships at a higher level.
• Running processes that feel considered, not transactional.
• Partnering with founders and hiring managers as a thinking partner.
• Shaping how companies hire, not just filling roles.
• Spending your time where it matters - not buried in admin.

We expect you to use AI and tooling to remove anything repetitive or low-value so you can focus on judgement, communication, and impact.

What you’ll be doing:

• Crafting candidate experiences that people remember.
• High-context, thoughtful processes.
• Communication that actually lands.
• Building relationships people come back to (whether they take the job or not).

Partnering with clients (properly):

• Working directly with founders and leadership teams.
• Helping shape hiring decisions, not just executing briefs.
• Bringing perspective, not just updates.

Owning delivery:

• Managing processes end-to-end with clarity and momentum.
• Keeping quality high without creating chaos.
• Building trust on both sides of the table.

Contributing to how we operate:

• Events and community as a core part of how we build pipeline.
• Improving how we work - if something feels inefficient or outdated, change it.

What we’re really looking for:

• You build high-trust, high-context relationships - candidates feel genuinely understood, and hiring managers rely on your judgement.
• You care about meaningful communication - thoughtful, specific, intentional. Not volume for the sake of it.
• You prioritise impact over activity - shaping a few exceptional processes over running many average ones.
• You think strategically about people and timing - not just “filling roles”, but understanding motivation, positioning, and when things actually move.
• You’re (or want to be) AI-native - automating anything repetitive so you can spend your time on what matters.
• You bring creativity and imagination - you think beyond LinkedIn messages and CVs when it comes to engaging people.
• You notice and use detail - creating connection that feels personal, not performative.

What we’re not looking for:

• Someone driven by KPIs for the sake of KPIs.
• Someone who needs rigid structure to operate.
• Someone happy doing high-volume, low-context work.

Why edenity:

• We sit somewhere between talent partner, advisor, and community builder.
• You’ll get full autonomy - no micromanagement.
• Real exposure - founders, VCs, and leadership teams across Europe - with some nice travel!
• Interesting work - genuinely complex hiring challenges.
• Creative space - events, ideas, new ways of doing things (we’ll back you).

And the harder-to-explain bit: You won’t feel like a recruiter here; you’ll feel like someone shaping companies.

The world you’ll be operating in includes VC-backed startups (seed → Series D), founders building category-defining companies, and investors from firms like Index Ventures.

Final note:

If this feels like the role you wish existed when you started - that’s the point. If you’re not sure you tick every box, apply anyway. We care far more about how you think, how you show up, and how you treat people than anything else.
