Recruitment Coordinator

WHO WE ARE

Bite Talent is the elite ingredient in QSR and retail recruitment. Built by operators who have lived and breathed the industry, we don't just fill roles. We scale brands by finding the right people, fast.

We work with some of the biggest and most exciting names in the game, including Five Guys, KFC, Popeyes, Shake Shack, Starbucks, Wingstop, Itsu, Joe and the Juice and many more. Our clients trust us because we genuinely get it. We understand what it takes to build high-performing teams in fast-moving environments, and we bring that same energy to every search we run.

We pride ourselves on extremely high standards, trust and reliability. That reputation has been built over time through consistent delivery, and everyone who joins this team plays a part in maintaining it.

We're a small but mighty team that moves quickly, works closely together and genuinely cares about doing things properly. No fluff, no corporate nonsense. Just great work and good people.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Recruitment Coordinator to join our growing team, and honestly, this is a brilliant opportunity for the right person.

You'll be right at the heart of what we do, helping to source candidates, keep processes moving and build the talent pipelines that our clients rely on. You'll work closely with one of our Senior Consultants on candidate management and resourcing, while also supporting our People and Ops Lead with the behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps everything ticking.

No two days look the same. One morning you might be headhunting an Area Manager for a national QSR brand; the next you're prepping a candidate for a big interview or updating our CRM. It's fast, it's varied, and if you like being busy and making a difference, you'll love it.

If you join us, you'll be working with a team that takes the work seriously but doesn't take itself too seriously. You'll get proper training, real responsibility from day one, the opportunity to earn commission and the chance to grow quickly in a business that's genuinely going places.
