Are you a builder who lives and breathes recruitment?
Talent Harbour is scaling fast-both organically and through acquisition. We're looking for a Director of Recruitment to lead and grow our recruiting division. You'll take full ownership of our internal recruitment team, oversee client delivery, and build out the structure to scale-whether we're hiring for ourselves or managing large client mandates.
This is a leadership role for someone who's hands-on, driven, and thrives in a high-growth, high-accountability environment. If you've built, led, and elevated recruiting teams-and know what great delivery looks like-we want to talk.
