GTM Talent Partner

Powering Great Work

We started as the place to find a trusted trade. Now, as we shape the future of home improvement, we're building the tech to transform that landscape for everyone - better products, smarter data, AI where it actually helps - so trades can spend less time on admin and consumers can find someone they trust, first time. That's Powering Great Work, and it's why every team here exists:

🔧 Trades spend less time on admin and more on winning work and growing their business
🏠 Homeowners get a trusted trade, first time, every time
🚀 We get to build products that change homes and lives across the country

As our GTM Talent Partner, you'll own hiring across a broad commercial area of Checkatrade, partnering closely with our leaders to find the people who'll help us get there.

We're a lean, hands-on Talent team, so this is much bigger than picking up reqs. You'll properly own your space: understanding the business, challenging what we actually need, using data to influence decisions and making our hiring and processes better as you go.

The job, unfiltered:

• Own end-to-end hiring across our GTM organisation, with a particular focus across Sales, Account Management, Revenue and Commercial Operations.

• Get properly under the skin of the areas you support: how they work, how they make money, what they're trying to achieve and the talent they need to get there.

• Partner with senior commercial leaders, building enough trust to challenge a brief, push back on an unrealistic expectation and bring a point of view rather than simply taking an order.

• Run multiple searches at once without losing pace, quality or candidate experience.

• Build strong passive pipelines and talent pools so we're not starting from zero every time a role lands.

• Use data to understand what's actually happening in your hiring. Think pipeline health, application sources, conversion rates, pass-through, rejection themes and market insight - then use it to recommend what we do differently.

• Use AI and modern tooling to make sourcing, screening, analysis and the wider hiring process smarter and more efficient.

• Keep Ashby useful and accurate. We actually use our hiring data to make decisions, so good ATS hygiene matters.

• Spot things that aren't working and help us fix them. You'll have space to improve processes, test new tools and challenge the way we've always done things.

• Get involved in wider TA projects across data, automation, tooling, employer brand and candidate experience.

• Be part of the wider People team, working closely with People Partners and other teams rather than operating in a TA bubble.

Basically, you'll hire great people, but you'll also help us build a better Talent function while you're doing it.

The fit:

The environment you've worked in matters to us. We're particularly keen to meet people who've been in-house in a fast-paced tech, scale-up or high-growth business, ideally as part of a lean Talent team where you've had genuine ownership of an area rather than one small part of the process.

You'll ideally bring:

• Strong in-house Talent experience within a fast-moving tech or high-growth environment.

• Solid GTM/commercial hiring experience, particularly across Sales, Account Management, Revenue or Commercial Operations.

• Experience working in a lean TA environment where you've owned hiring end-to-end and contributed beyond your individual reqs.

• Confidence partnering with senior commercial stakeholders who will challenge you and expect you to know your stuff.

• A genuinely data-led approach. You can use hiring metrics, pipeline data and market insight to diagnose a problem, tell a clear story and influence a decision.

• Strong sourcing skills and the confidence to proactively find great passive talent rather than relying on inbound applications.

• Experience managing multiple priorities in an environment where things move quickly and the brief isn't always perfectly formed.

• Curiosity around AI, automation and new recruiting technology, with hands-on experience using tools to make your work better.

• Strong organisation and communication. You keep things moving and don't let the important stuff fall through the cracks.

• A low ego and high standards. You'll challenge when you need to, take feedback well and care about making the whole team better.

(Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.)

How this goes

Talent chat → an initial conversation with our Talent team to get to know each other, give you the full context on Checkatrade and understand what you're looking for next.

1st stage → a deeper conversation around your GTM hiring experience, stakeholder partnering, how you use data and what you've owned in previous Talent teams.

2nd stage → you’ll meet our TA team and People partner to discuss your day to day operating model, and how we work

Final stage → meet more of the team and some of the people you'd actually be partnering with. We'll dig into how you think, how you'd approach some real-life Talent challenges here and give you plenty of opportunity to work out whether we're right for you too.
