Recruitment Team Executive

British Airways
Hounslow, Greater London
A career without limits

As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain.

It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.

This originality has been in our blood since day one. It’s the spirit we share with the people that fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.

So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in far-flung places, a job at British Airways is yours to make.

We know great things can happen when you’re inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day, which is why, at British Airways the sky is never the limit.

  • Support the delivery of regulatory‑compliant onboarding within agreed timescales, balancing business needs with a positive candidate experience
  • Provide ad‑hoc support or cover for wider team tasks when required

What You’ll Bring To British Airways

You’ll be highly organised, process‑driven and comfortable working with sensitive information, always taking pride in getting things right first time. With a strong customer focus, you’ll enjoy supporting candidates and colleagues , maintaining professionalism even when working at pace. You’ll be a collaborative team player, open to learning and improvement, with the confidence to manage competing priorities while delivering a consistently high standard of service.

Your Experience

  • Experience working to standard operating procedures
  • Experience working with third‑party suppliers to deliver high levels of performance
  • Experience supporting recruitment processes (desirable)
  • Ability to work accurately under pressure while maintaining attention to detail (essential)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

What We Offer
