Job Description

*This role is a remote position in the UK/EU on a 6 month fixed term contract*

Rail is set to dominate short and medium haul travel around the world. It’s faster, cheaper, greener and more convenient than air travel, and it cuts down on the carbon emitting congestion of road travel. With the current climate crisis it’s more important than ever to put this mode of transport at the forefront of people's minds. For every travel company having rail as a booking option is like having vegan choices on the menu – it’s a must! The trouble is, there’s been nothing modern about rail’s online customer experience… until now.

We are SilverRail, a global tech company working to solve this problem by delivering the digital infrastructure that opens up rail to the world! Our technology is powering rail and travel agencies across Europe, USA and Australia/NZ in both leisure and corporate markets, making it easy for people to choose rail and cut their carbon emissions.

Although we have been around for more than 10 years, and with our teams based globally in London, Boston, Brisbane and Stockholm, we still consider ourselves an agile start-up business. We are using the Scrum framework for all our software development, and we believe in ‘fail-fast-fail-early’ to find innovative solutions to complex problems. Our agility and refreshingly novel approaches mean we have already developed into a force to be reckoned with in the European market, but we have ambitions for so much more! With a raft of new clients joining us, and with our growth about to enter its prime, we aim to become the biggest player in the rail tech space.

The Role

The Talent Specialist will play a crucial role in bringing on board people globally across our four locations – Brisbane, Boston, London and Stockholm. You will be able to build rapport easily and quickly identify strong candidates who believe in our values, who are passionate about what they do and ultimately finding the best, most qualified people for our team in a timely and effective manor.

If you’re enthusiastic about finding people their perfect career match, building relationships, interested in technology and an excellent communicator, we’d like to hear from you.

This position can be worked remotely in the UK/EU and will be an initial 6-month fixed term contract. Given the global remit of the recruitment, there may be times where you need to be flexible with working adjusted hours to fit the timezones.
