We do this through a flexible subscription model, embedding TA consultants directly into in-house teams.

About the role

We're on the lookout for talented people to join our amazing US team. We are a fully remote business, however, to build incredible relationships you'll be expected to travel regularly to visit partners to really make a difference.

Our Talent Partners embed into super cool companies like Snyk, Williams Racing and Graphcore! We design recruitment processes fit for rapid growth businesses, while headhunting some pretty niche roles! We don’t have KPI’s, targets or BD requirements at Bond, it’s all about the outcomes. Data underpins all of our processes, and we've built a world class bespoke dataverse so that we can make informed decisions always.

Our people are the most important part of Bond. The real secret is to hire and retain the very best talent professionals in the world! If we do that the rest is easy. We're looking for people that have the ability to see 2-5 years in the future and help us deliver cutting edge solutions.

We’re upfront about where we use AI, where we don’t, and where you’re welcome to use it too.

Where we use AI

• AI Agents for sourcing: Weve deployed a number of AI agents to do the manual lift to source and reach out to incredible talent, however once you reply to a message this is where our Talent partners take over.

• Consented note-taking: A notetaker joins interviews so the panel can look you in the eye instead of typing. You’ll see it in the call — ask us to turn it off anytime.

• Debrief summaries: AI drafts a first-pass summary for the hiring team. Humans read it critically and overwrite it before any decision.

• Research and preparation: We use AI to prepare properly for you — your background, your questions, your time respected.

Where you can use AI

• Prep & research: Use Claude, ChatGPT, whatever helps — draft answers, pressure-test stories, research us. It’s how we work too.

• The exercise: Should you be asked to do a short exercise, use every tool you’d use on the job. This is a window into how we consult with clients every day — and AI is part of how we work.

• Better questions for us: Use AI to generate questions for our founders. The best questions are the hard ones — bring them.
