The Role Outline: Your Week at a Glance - Recruitment and Talent Coordinator
We are doing big things at Village. We are tearing up the rulebook on how hospitality recruitment and learning should feel, focusing on the human touch, and rolling out strategies that actually make a massive difference to our hotel teams.
Right now, our Recruitment and Talent Manager and our Head of Talent, Learning and Culture are driving these changes across the business. They have the big-picture vision, but they need an organisational anchor to help coordinate, schedule, and execute it all.
That is where you come in. As our
Recruitment & Talent Coordinator, you will be the engine room behind our team, keeping the admin seamless, the candidates engaged, and the systems running smoothly.
Why Village?At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers.
Previous coordinator experience is great, but your attitude, energy, and attention to detail matter much more to us. If you are organised, positive, love working with people, and want to kickstart or grow your career in Talent & HR, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.
How the Village ThrivesWe live our culture through four simple commitments:
- We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose.
- We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
- We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
Your Shift: What You Will Actually Be DoingWe do not just need someone to shuffle paper. We need an operational powerhouse in the making. As a Coordinator, you will work directly alongside the senior team to turn big ideas into day-to-day action.
1. Project, Event & Culture CoordinationHelp coordinate regional recruitment drives, candidate open days, and training sessions. You will assist in managing the logistics for our Big People Day calendar across the brand, ensuring our internal culture initiatives go off without a hitch.
2. The Talent Pipeline & OnboardingDraft candidate communications, send out invites, and ensure no applicant falls through the cracks. You will help drive the momentum of the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle and collaborate with the P&D and Payroll teams to ensure a smooth, engaging onboarding process for every new hire.
3. Data, Systems & LogisticsTake ownership of the day-to-day admin: managing shared diaries, updating candidate statuses, and keeping ATS records up to date. You will help track crucial metrics like Time to Hire and internal fill rates, and you should genuinely enjoy building an immaculate Google Sheet with working regional dropdowns to track our candidate pipelines.
4. Culture & Candidate ChampioningAct as the welcoming first point of contact for candidates and internal hiring managers. Ensure every email, call, and interaction feels distinctly Village, bringing warmth and a human touch to a fast-paced environment while helping us strengthen our employer brand.
5. Keeping Us on TrackWhen the team throws out ten brilliant concepts for new sourcing methods or employee engagement strategies, your brain naturally starts mapping out the step-by-step checklist. You will keep the team organised, reminding us of key deadlines and ensuring the basics are nailed down while we build for the future.
How We Succeed TogetherWe do not micromanage. Even in a junior role, we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the space to manage your daily tasks, solve practical problems, and own your coordinator space. We champion teamwork, and desperately want you to succeed and grow with us.
