Employee Relations Interview Specialist

Axiom is supporting a large global technology company seeking an organised and confident Interview Specialist to support its UK employee relations investigations team.

This is a new role within the team, created to help End-to-End Investigators progress cases efficiently. You will schedule and conduct witness interviews only. You will not interview claimants or respondents.

The End-to-End Investigator will identify the witnesses to be interviewed and provide the interview script and questions. You will follow that structure, while using sound judgement to ask appropriate follow-up questions when a conversation develops or new information emerges. You’ll then finalise your notes and share them with the investigator managing the case.

Responsibilities

• Schedule and conduct interviews with witnesses as directed by the End-to-End Investigator.
• Follow the interview script and questions provided for each case.
• Probe appropriately when a witness raises relevant information that needs further clarification.
• Prepare and finalise clear, accurate interview notes.
• Share completed notes and relevant information with the End-to-End Investigator.
• Manage follow-ups and meeting arrangements, including rescheduling where needed.
• Adapt plans to changing circumstances, potentially within a two-week scheduling window.
• Communicate confidently and professionally with people at all levels, including senior managers.
• Handle sensitive information with care and maintain confidentiality.

Minimum qualifications

• Junior to mid-level experience in HR, employee relations, law or a related area.
• Strong organisation, follow-up and meeting-planning skills.
• Good judgement and common sense.
• The ability to follow a structured interview script while recognising when further probing is appropriate.
• Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders.
• Flexibility to rearrange and replan interviews when circumstances change.
• Comfort working with ambiguity and adapting to changing priorities.
