Designing the hiring engine behind a generational business.

We're building a company designed to last for decades - and that means every hire matters. Talent at hx exists to protect and elevate the hiring bar, so the people who join don't just strengthen the company but grow with it: stretched by the work, supported in the craft, and proud of the careers they build here.

AI & Enablement

We're genuinely excited about how AI helps us do more of what we love - connecting deeply with candidates and helping them see why hx could be the place they truly thrive. Talent at hx is all in on AI, not as a trend but as leverage. We measure our wins across the full spectrum - quality, pace, and the time we've reclaimed to invest back into what matters most to the craft: judgement, connection, and thoughtful decision-making.

Talent Partnering

We don't sit on the edge of the business. We sit inside it, and we're trusted with real influence. We don't take that for granted. It's been earned through consistent hard work, high standards, and showing up when decisions matter. Our Talent Partners work closely with leaders to shape teams in practice: rescoping roles, challenging assumptions, uplevelling expectations, and influencing how work is structured and who fills it. Hiring here is a genuinely shared responsibility, and that level of voice and trust is rare at our stage.

The rhythms that matter

Talent at the edge of their craft

We care about who succeeds here and why

Quality of hire is our north star. We look beyond accepted offers to performance, trajectory and contribution over time, and we’re willing to learn from that. Data is here to sharpen our judgement and make each hiring cycle stronger than the last.

Group sourcing, weekly

We source together, unblocking each other's pipelines and build muscle in areas you don't normally hire for. It's a ritual that even our hiring managers demand to join. There's something special about helping someone else close their hire.

Weekly AI enablement sessions

We run weekly training on what's shifting in AI. You'll build agents, automate manual workflows, and stay ahead of the curve. We're not just using AI - we're redesigning how talent partnering works with it.

1% Better - every week

We don’t wait for annual retros to improve.

We run weekly 1% Better sessions, Show & Tells and sourcing blocks - often shoulder to shoulder with our leadership team. We experiment, challenge decisions, refine workflows and share what’s working. We source together. We win together. There’s something special about helping someone else close their hire.

We’ve even named our rituals in our own way - you’ll learn them quickly. And yes, we have our own emoji code to store the wins in Teams forever history. We work hard. We take pride. And we have fun doing it.

Coach the craft

Our Interviewer Excellence Programme isn’t a one-off training. It’s something we genuinely care about.

We’ve built our coaching muscle over time - working 1:1 with leaders, running sessions with our CEO and senior team, and helping hiring managers feel confident in how they assess, decide and hire. The next iteration builds AI into the core - helping us spot patterns, challenge bias and continuously improve. We care deeply about how people experience us. When candidates tell us they felt clarity, fairness and genuine engagement - whether we progressed them or not - that stays with us. And the real highlight is seeing the people we hired go on to thrive at hx.

The right environment

changes everything.

To thrive in

Talent

at hx, you will need

The right environment changes everything.

We optimise for talent density.

We protect the hiring bar because we understand what dilution does over time. We're willing to pass on good candidates to hold out for great ones. We look beyond skills to judgment, drive and cultural add. Talent density isn't just about who we hire - it's where exceptional people choose to stay.

We think in systems and move fast inside them.

We design hiring as infrastructure, not admin. We surface trade-offs, use data to make decisions visible, and remove manual drag wherever we can. We experiment. We own outcomes. If something can be better, we change it.

We take extreme ownership.

Autonomy isn’t a buzzword here. We’re trusted to test ideas, redesign workflows, challenge assumptions and shape real outcomes and we’re accountable for the results.

To thrive in Talent at hx, you will need

Your work shapes real outcomes.

Hiring defines who builds hx and therefore what gets built. You're not filling roles - you're shaping the trajectory of the company. Every decision ripples through teams, products and outcomes. That weight is real. So is the responsibility that comes with it.

Serious partnership and real influence.

You work directly with senior leaders - not as an order-taker, but as a strategic partner. You challenge thinking, design hiring strategy together, and refine the bar as the business evolves. Your perspective carries weight. You're expected to push back when it matters.

Intensity, standards and GOAT energy.

We work hard. We care deeply about craft. We meme daily and build inside language that makes no sense to outsiders. Standards are high. Energy is real. If you need everything to be serious and corporate, this won't feel right.
