🚀 About Borderless

At Borderless, we’re building a world where borders are no longer barriers - where anyone can move anywhere, seamlessly and safely.

Founded in 2023, we’ve already helped 600+ UK businesses and 15,000+ individuals navigate the complexity of immigration.

Powered by technology, and supported by an expert team, our platform removes the friction of Home Office compliance, visa processing and sponsor licence applications, making immigration faster, simpler and more accessible for everyone.

Backed by Entrepreneur First and Backed.VC , we’re scaling fast and in 2026 expanding into new sectors and markets to further accelerate our growth.

Also, around 25% of our workforce is sponsored, and we proudly offer visa sponsorship as part of our hiring process.

🎯 Role: Talent Partner

Why this role matters

Hiring exceptional people is critical to Borderless’ success as we scale across teams, sectors, and markets.

As a Talent Partner, you’ll play a hands-on role in building the teams that power our mission. You’ll support full-cycle recruitment across multiple functions, partner closely with hiring managers, and help shape how Borderless attracts, engages, and hires top talent.

Reporting to Gina, our Talent Lead, this is an ideal role for someone earlier in their recruitment career (1-5 years experience). You’ll already have exposure to recruitment and be excited to learn, experiment and progress quickly in a high growth, high ambiguity startup environment. You’ll gain broad exposure to sourcing, stakeholder management, data-driven hiring and employer branding - with clear progression opportunities as the company scales.
