Harding+ has just been named Cruise Retailer of the Year for the fourth time in five years. Our Talent Acquisition team is partway through a real transformation, rethinking how we find, assess and hire people for our teams in Bristol and Miami, our partner team in Cape Town, and our crews at sea. We're looking for a recruiter who wants to help shape what comes next. For the next 12 months, you'll work closely with our Head of Talent Acquisition, combining hands-on recruitment with building the processes, automation and AI tools that will make our hiring quicker, leaner and better for everyone involved. Your week will start with live recruitment. You'll own campaigns for our landside roles from briefing to offer, sourcing talent directly, building shortlists and working alongside hiring managers across the business to understand what they need. From there, you'll help us fix it. You'll map how candidates and managers move through our recruitment journey, spot where time and effort are lost, and redesign those steps with the Head of Talent Acquisition. Some of the answers will sit in our ATS, Talos. Helping to build something is only half the job. You'll help embed it too, bringing hiring managers and the wider team with you, writing guidance and process maps people will actually use, and measuring the difference each change makes. By the end of the contract, you'll have left Harding+ with a recruitment model built to scale, and a clear record of what you helped change.
