This job starts 3rd August. Excellent opportunity for an early career professional to move into HR.

If you are willing to work hard you will get other exposure. Only apply if you wish to be the best. Opportunity for someone early in their career to learn and grow into an HR career path. I do not mind if you went to university, but you must be bright and driven with an excellent command of English. This is an early careers role with coaching, so you should not have graduated more than 2 years ago (don’t mind if you never went to uni).

Key traits we are looking for:

• You can tell an engaging story.
• You want to succeed.
• You love how businesses work.
• It doesn’t matter if you have considered working in HR before, you must love enabling people to be their best work self.

I will train you up to grow into an HR Business Partner role within 2 years, but there is a lot of hard work to get there. The ideal person is naturally bright, gets on well with people, is a self-learner, and wants to succeed.

Purpose: Recruitment at Atomos means finding the best of the best, and moving fast. This is a great role for someone at the early stage of their career to learn commercial HR. 50% of this role is recruitment, 50% of this role is administration; however, the value you deliver is judged via the recruitment side of the role.

• You have a positive disposition.
• You are tech savvy.

Accountabilities:
