Description
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? Build your career in Global Talent Acquisition (Recruitment) at ZURU — one of the world's most ambitious companies. We're reimagining categories through vertically integrated brands, moving many steps ahead. I hope you're here because this post speaks to you. I'm Jaja https://www.linkedin.com/in/jajakubo/ and I joined ZURU https://zuru.com/'s Global Talent Acquisition team 3 years ago. I personally think I've built more here than I thought possible — surrounded by good humans, experts leading experts, with regular touch points with our founders and leaders like Nick https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-mowbray-a5201024/ and Jaimee https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimee-lupton-75b61854/. Talent density sits at the heart of ZURU and every day we're challenged to raise the bar. I came in with a mixed bag of Banking, Management Consulting, and tech start-up experience — and somehow, all of it gets used here. That's exactly why we're not just hiring for experience. We're hiring for mindset, drive, and a never-stop-hustling hunger to win. Our team has grown, our scope has expanded, and now we're looking for Talent Associates who want to learn the craft from the ground up and build what's next with us! Who we're looking for We're building Talent Associates. No recruitment experience needed. No HR degree required. What matters is grit, curiosity, business acumen, and the kind of getting-things-done mentality that doesn't wait for permission. About the Role Most recruitment jobs are order-taking. This one isn't. You'll fire bullets, fail fast, go deep into the function you support, partner with leaders, and influence decisions that ripple across teams — because one great hire shifts the needle. WHAT WE CAN PROMISE YOU 6-Week Launchpad. An intensive onboarding program built on the principle of overprepare and win. You'll learn the craft properly — not just survive the role. - Weeks 1–2 | Foundations — Recruitment and sourcing fundamentals, ZURU's businesses, the global talent landscape - Weeks 3–4 | Our Craft — Screening, candidate assessment, stakeholder management, offer and negotiation - Weeks 5–6 | Practice & Action — Owning roles end-to-end, influencing candidates and Hiring Managers, driving outcomes — hiring for ZURU This is for you if… - You have a champion mindset — GRIT AND HUSTLE - You love solving problems, building, and connecting with people - You're coachable, constructively dissatisfied, and comfortable being uncomfortable - You're obsessed with the details and how great teams get built - You thrive in fast-paced environments and never stop hustling - You take ownership and run things end-to-end — we, not I - You communicate clearly, debate hard, and build relationships naturally This is NOT for you if… - You want a transactional, predictable, 9-to-5 role - You want to push paper and process requisitions - You'd rather wait for direction than figure it out - You're not interested in the commercial side of business - You're chasing hierarchical career progression over real impact - Complacency doesn't scare you What’s in it for you? - Growth — a real career path.
