What can I expect to do?

• You will be playing one of the most critical roles in the growth of one of the Sunday Times Fast Track Tech 25 fastest growing companies by directly contributing to the expansion of PatSnaps European and North American operations.
• You will partner with Hiring Managers to understand their business objectives and provide strategic advice which ensures the most effective recruitment process is followed.

• You will be passionate about sourcing talent and enjoy establishing rapport with prospective employees. You love finding the “hidden gem” candidate using creative techniques

What would make me successful in this role?

• If you have experience recruiting in-house, ideally within a technology company, and have an interest in recruiting sales and commercial roles.
• You have strong business partnering skills and have the credibility to advise senior stakeholders.
• You are passionate about problem solving and are not fazed by ambiguity, instead you thrive in environments where you can identify and implement winning solutions.
• The ability to work at pace - PatSnap is a hyper growth organisation, so being able to prioritize effectively and juggle multiple projects is key.

What are the challenges?

• As with any role within a fast-growing SaaS business you have to be able to flex to changing business priorities, so if you are adaptable and embrace change then you will thrive in this environment. 
• Our structure is relatively flat and non-hierarchical and egos dont fly here so no job is too big or too small, we all get stuck in to make the business successful, so you’d better get ready to roll up your sleeves - one moment you will be scheduling interviews, the next you will be making recommendations to senior stakeholders about their next key hire.
• Expansion is a major theme. We face new situations and market opportunities which weve not encountered previously. There isn’t always someones footsteps to follow so you will need to be able to work as a pioneer, carving the path and sharing your learnings with your colleagues. 

Whats in it for me?

• Opportunity to impact – The Talent Acquisition team is at the heart of the business growth - Our ability to attract the best talent has a significant impact on the success of the company and it’s continued growth.
• Were about diversity - Besides being one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies (backed by Sequoia, Summit Partners, and Xiaomi’s founder), were particularly proud of our multi-cultural East-meets-West DNA and have a strong international team build on global collaboration.
• Opportunity to develop - Were also about providing opportunities for do-ers and learners. We have a strong internal culture of providing opportunities to ambitious people and have grown a lot of our leaders from within our own organisation.
