Talent Acquisition Partner

Location & Eligibility

This role is based in Dublin on a hybrid basis — we ask that you are in the office 1 day per week, with the flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

Your time is valuable. To help with your application, we advise that regrettably we cannot offer work permit sponsorship/self sponsorship for this role.

The Opportunity

Brightflag is scaling fast, and we're looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to support end-to-end hiring. Brightflag is a B2B SaaS company at an exciting point in its growth trajectory, and the People function is at the centre of that story. 

From day one, you'll run the full recruitment lifecycle across core Engineering and Go-to-Market, roles, partnering directly with people partners and hiring managers, shaping the candidate experience, and making a real difference to the quality and speed of every hire we make. 🚀 If you've been waiting for a role where your work genuinely moves the needle on business growth, this is it.

You'll join a high-performing People team that operates as a true business partner — not a support function. Brightflag hires thoughtfully, holds high standards, and cares deeply about the candidate and hiring manager experience in equal measure. The team is sharp, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. You'll collaborate closely with leaders across the business, building credibility and trust with stakeholders who value great hiring as much as you do. 

You'll be expected to bring an AI-forward mindset to accelerate growth. With a hybrid setup (one day per week in office), you get the flexibility of remote work without losing the connection that makes our teams great.

What You Will Be Doing

• Partner with hiring managers from the moment a role opens by leading structured intake meetings, defining success profiles, and aligning on process, timeline, and interview approach before the first candidate is ever screened.

• Conduct in-depth screening and assessment calls to evaluate candidates against role requirements, culture fit, and growth potential, and deliver clear, evidence-based recommendations to hiring teams.

• Champion an exceptional candidate experience at every touchpoint by communicating proactively, providing meaningful feedback, and ensuring every person who interacts with Brightflag comes away with a positive impression regardless of outcome.
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and interviewers , including coaching on best practice, keeping stakeholders engaged and accountable, and pushing back constructively when process or standards are at risk.
• Track and report on hiring progress, pipeline health, and key recruitment metrics and use data to identify bottlenecks, forecast hiring timelines, and drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with People Ops Business Partners to ensure role requirements are clearly defined, hiring processes remain consistent, and the overall quality of the function continues to raise the bar.

To be successful in the role, you need:

• At least 5+ years of previous end-to-end recruitment experience, ideally in-house, with experience hiring for technology and go-to-market roles

• Tactfully assertive with the ability to challenge hiring managers, manage scope creep or unrealistic expectations pragmatically, and influence decisions with confidence and tact.
• Highly organised and process-driven ; able to juggle multiple open roles simultaneously without letting anything fall through the cracks, and instinctively uses tools and systems to stay on top of a demanding workload.
• A genuinely collaborative team player who shares knowledge, supports colleagues, and understands that great hiring is a team sport.
