Reece Batchelor — Technical Recruiter
I’m a Global Talent Acquisition Leader with 9+ years of experience helping high-growth startups scale from early-stage to hundreds of employees. I build high-performing, data-driven, and inclusive hiring functions, while staying hands-on in the process, from sourcing to closing critical roles. I believe great hiring is about more than filling seats, it’s about creating a competitive advantage through people. I’ve designed and executed outbound recruiting strategies that consistently deliver strong conversion rates, re-engineered interview processes to improve efficiency and candidate experience, and delivered measurable DE&I impact across technical, leadership, and commercial teams. I partner closely with executive teams and hiring leaders to align talent strategy with business objectives, ensuring every hire supports both immediate growth and long-term success. Alongside this, I’m passionate about developing TA teams to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, while continuing to lead by example as an active, hands-on recruiter.
