How we do it

HOW WE DO IT

There is no “I” in team but there is certainly one in Operations. Powering the engine that makes Harnham run like clockwork, are skilled individuals working across several different departments. Our departments work closely together. They are vital to keep infrastructure and systems running smoothly, as well as looking at the bigger picture in order to measure overall performance.
This has been instrumental in our ability to scale so quickly. And our commitment to continued growth is deeply rooted in the belief that creating exciting new roles in Operations, both in the UK and across the globe, is an essential part of this plan.

Phoenix, Biltmore Area – 3 days in office

Join a global recruitment business in a high-impact internal role with real autonomy and future leadership scope.
Harnham is the world’s largest recruitment consultancy dedicated to Data & Analytics. With offices across the UK, US, and Europe, we’re an award-winning business with an entrepreneurial culture and big growth ambitions in the US. We’re now hiring a Talent Acquisition Manager to lead internal hiring for our Phoenix office.
What’s the role?
This is a new role that’s been created to build out an IR function in our Phoenix office, you’ll take full ownership of end-to-end hiring for our US business, supporting experienced hires as well as bringing in new talent through our early careers programs.
This is a hands-on delivery role with high autonomy and lots of variety – you’ll work closely with hiring managers, own the candidate journey, and shape our US hiring strategy alongside our UK-based Head of People and IR team.
Over time, and depending on business growth, there’s real scope to build and lead a US TA team. This is a great step-up opportunity for someone looking to grow into a leadership role.

We offer commission on every hire you make, plus future earnings tied to team growth when you step into a leadership role.
Culture that feels different
We know every company says this, but our culture genuinely stands out. We’re a sociable, collaborative team that takes our work seriously but not ourselves. You’ll be part of a fun, supportive team that values autonomy, creativity, and having a good laugh along the way.
