Role Overview
Graphcore is building a global Talent Acquisition function to support the rapid growth of the company across EMEA, APAC, and NAM regions. This role is the operational backbone of recruitment, overseeing hiring data, reports, recruitment platforms, vendor relationships, and processes that enable the team to work efficiently at scale.
Initially, the focus will be on structuring and clarifying hiring data: producing accurate reports, providing relevant insights, and giving a clear overview of hiring plan delivery. Broadly, the role ensures the team has the systems, processes, and operational backing needed to do their best work. It is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to fast‑paced environments and building operational foundations that allow teams to scale.

- Track pipeline health, time‑to‑hire, recruiter capacity, and delivery against hiring plans.
- Surface risks, bottlenecks, and trade‑offs to support prioritisation.
- Act as the primary administrator for the ATS (Greenhouse), managing workflows, permissions, interview stages, and data governance.
- Ensure systems are used consistently across global teams and maintain GDPR compliance, data retention and data quality.
- Monitor integrations, APIs, and overall system performance, and identify opportunities for automation, AI, and tooling improvements.
- Manage licence and usage across platforms such as HackerRank and LinkedIn, and partner with IT to meet security and integration requirements.
- Maintain the framework for agency and vendor engagement, including terms of business and rate cards.
- Support operational management of RPO and agency partners, usage and performance, and ensure external partners follow internal hiring processes and systems.
- Align recruiter capacity with hiring demand through the RPO flex model.
- Review and refine recruitment processes to ensure they are scalable and consistently used, standardising workflows while allowing for regional requirements.
- Maintain operational documentation across areas such as visas, relocation and hiring approvals, and support compliance and audit readiness.
- Own onboarding and operational training for recruiters, coordinators and RPO partners, update enablement materials, and promote regular use of systems, processes, and messaging.
- Support hiring managers with guidance on interviewing and scorecards, and partner with the Employer Branding Specialist to maintain a consistent candidate experience.
