Role Overview We are looking for a highly capable, target-driven HR Executive with strong hands-on experience in end-to-end recruitment, particularly for IT and technology roles. Recruitment will be the primary responsibility, accounting for approximately 70% of the role, while the remaining 30% will focus on employee relations, HR operations, and other HR-related activities.

Strong recruitment expertise, sourcing capabilities, stakeholder management, and accountability for hiring outcomes are the primary selection criteria.

The ideal candidate should also be approachable, organised, and capable of handling employee concerns professionally and confidentially. The role reports directly to the Head of Human Resources. 4.
