Recruitment & Performance Manager

Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Part-Time Recruitment & Employee Performance Manager

| Remote | High Accountability | Results-Driven

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a confident, commercially minded, no-nonsense Hiring & Firing Performance Manager to take an active role in managing the recruitment, performance, accountability and retention of our online and remote workforce.

This is not a passive HR administration role. We need someone who can make decisions, ask difficult questions, recognise talent, challenge underperformance and ensure that every member of our remote team meets the standards expected of them.

You will play a key role in the second stage of our recruitment process, conducting online face-to-face interviews, leading performance review meetings and managing formal disciplinary and contract termination meetings where required.

We want a professional who is comfortable making tough decisions, holding people accountable and protecting the standards of the business.

Why This Part-Time Role Is Attractive

We understand that exceptional management talent does not necessarily want a traditional, full-time position.

This opportunity is designed for an experienced professional who wants to make a meaningful impact without committing to a conventional five-day working week.

Part-time commitment: A focused role built around essential management responsibilities rather than a full-time office schedule.

Fully remote working: Conduct interviews and management meetings online from your own location.

High-impact work: Your decisions will directly influence the quality, effectiveness and accountability of our workforce.

Professional autonomy: Take ownership of your responsibilities, manage your meetings efficiently and operate with confidence within agreed company policies.

A varied working day: Move between interviewing prospective recruits, reviewing employee performance and addressing management issues.

The objective is simple: high standards, focused working hours and meaningful responsibility.

Part-time does not mean low responsibility. It means making every working hour count.

Your Core Responsibilities

1. Second-Stage Recruitment & Online Interviews

Conduct structured, online face-to-face second-stage interviews with shortlisted candidates.

Assess candidates' competence, communication, professionalism, reliability, attitude and suitability for remote working.

Challenge vague answers and investigate inconsistencies through professional, evidence-based questioning.

Evaluate whether candidates can meet the actual demands and performance expectations of the position.

Make clear, well-reasoned hiring recommendations based on the evidence gathered.

Work closely with the recruitment team to maintain a consistent and effective selection process.

Ensure that recruitment decisions are timely, documented and aligned with the company's requirements.

2. Employee Performance Management

Conduct regular online performance review meetings with existing remote staff.

Assess performance against agreed targets, KPIs, responsibilities and quality standards.

Identify underperformance early and address it directly.

3. Disciplinary Meetings & Corrective Action

Lead formal disciplinary meetings professionally, fairly and consistently.

Apply company policies and established procedures consistently.

Recommend proportionate corrective action where appropriate.

Ensure that decisions are properly documented and that employees understand the standards expected of them.

4. Contract Termination & Offboarding Meetings

Conduct termination meetings where dismissal or contract termination has been properly authorised.

Communicate decisions clearly, calmly and professionally, without unnecessary confrontation or ambiguity.

Ensure the appropriate process has been followed before a termination decision is communicated.

Explain the relevant contractual arrangements, next steps and offboarding requirements.

The Person We Are Looking For

You will ideally have:

Proven experience in recruitment, HR, people management, employee relations or performance management.

Confidence conducting professional online interviews and difficult one-to-one meetings.

Strong judgement and the ability to distinguish genuine potential from convincing interview performance.

The ability to address poor performance directly, without becoming emotional, confrontational or indecisive.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

A structured approach to documentation, follow-up and decision-making.

The confidence to deliver difficult messages with clarity and professionalism.

An understanding of confidentiality, fair process, employment obligations and contractual procedures.

The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and meet agreed deadlines.

Experience managing remote teams is highly desirable.
